I took the time to reply to this issue in details a few month (?) ago, so please take the time to read it, and continue from that point. Popping up a topic and ignoring the answer is neither very polite nor very useful. F.e. please explain how will harbour compiler find the headers of your dependency? Also think about how the possible dependencies of your dependency will be added to the build? You could also explain, why adding 'mypkg.hbc' to the build cmdline is worse than adding '#pragma "mypkglib1.lib"' to each source that might use that package? What happens if one dependency consists of multiple libs? Should the user remember to list each of them in each source? What happens if the lib packager decides to change the internal layout or names of the libs? Will you want to go through all source files and change it each time? How will "#pragma "mylib.lib" be portable between compilers? Should the compiler know about the different lib naming schemes of all the compilers we support? Anyhow I think the first thing you should do before for yet another feature, is to look at the problem as a whole and decide what is the issue you _really_ want to solve here, and check whether there exist a solution for it already. Having features and hacks just to have them, or without good reason is not something we welcome in Harbour. IMO .hbc files are just a ton better to solve this problem, and portable. Try it.
