Viktor, thank you for all the help. I apologize for making you have to repeat yourself multiple times on this issue. :[
Looks like I will probably stick with Gnu C. One last question if I may... is getting MSVC C++ 6 a bad idea for building some apps customers will use, instead of relying on MinGW? I might just stuck with MinGW, but I'm very curious about using msvc 6 to try it... maybe just because I'm interested in this kind of thing, even as a hobby. Anyways, it looks as though MSVC 6 detected this time automagically... but came up with an error (in the zip below) Perfect autodetection results: ====================== ! Building Harbour 2.1.0dev from source - http://www.harbour-project.org ! MAKE: win-make 3.81 sh.exe install ! HB_BUILD_UNICODE: no ! HB_HOST_PLAT: win (x86) HB_SHELL: nt !
