100 Days FiveWin

[Jimmy]

hi,

since 100 Days i have FiveWin but it is hard to start for a FiveWin Newbie.
it is not "out-of-box" working ... you need harbour (with MSVC LIB) and BCC

i have download harbour but it does NOT include \MSVC so i guess i can't use any VC Sample.
where do i get those LIB for harbour 3x (my files was from harbour v1.x)

---

there are 22 x Build*.BAT.
DOC say use BUILD.BAT and it "seems" to work with most Sample but other give Error.

Error are like : missing FiveWin.ch

i guess there are some Environment Variable missing in some BUILD*.BAT.
so i like to ask again which Environment Variable FiveWin use

bcdir=c:\bcc7
FWDIR=c:\fwh
fwh=c:\fwh
GT=gtgui
HBDIR=c:\harbour
hdir=c:\harbour
hdirl=c:\harbour\lib

Question : as i have also Xbase++ install i have

INCLUDE=C:\ALASKA\XBTW32\INCLUDE;C:\ALASKA\XPPW32\INCLUDE;C:\exp20\include;
LIB=C:\ALASKA\XPPW32\LIB;C:\ALASKA\XBTW32\LIB;C:\exp20\lib;

does it make Problem with FiveWin

---

IDE : i have try FivEdit ... it start "missing *.FLV"

next it show Form with with "Hello"

FiveWin Sample have no *.PRJ file which can be assign to start IDE.

Preference ( Crtl-F2 ) : in Tab "FiveWin", "Harbour" and "C Compiler" i press "Default Libs" and Save.

Question : there is a Tab "Project" ... and a lot of Space. do i need it to run FW \Sample

---

after 100 Days i'm a bit frustrated while i'm not able to work in FiveWin Environment.
i have also HMG and Extendet Version and was able to wrote some harbour Apps with it.

my 1st work was to get HMG Debugger work while this is the Tool i use when not writing Code.
but how to activate FW Debugger with FW Sample

i got Error Message like "FWDBG.DLL not found" (it is in C:\FWH\FWDBG.DLL)

---

please help me to fix my FiveWin Environment.
need LIB from c:\harbour\lib\win\msvc\
need to get FW Debugger work (no IDE need)

please help a Newbie to get into FiveWin world, Thx

Dear Jimmy
When you have downloaded your Fivewin software version, you have also found the download links for the latest versions of Harbour built for the Borland and MSVC compilers.


Also, you have previous versions of Harbour in
https://bitbucket.org/fivetech/harbour- ... downloads/

Other versions of (x) Harbour and Compilers can be found at:
http://whosaway.com/

You need to install MSVC from the official Microsoft website

IDE : i have try FivEdit ... it start "missing *.FLV"

next it show Form with with "Hello"

FiveWin Sample have no *.PRJ file which can be assign to start IDE.

Preference ( Crtl-F2 ) : in Tab "FiveWin", "Harbour" and "C Compiler" i press "Default Libs" and Save.

Question : there is a Tab "Project" ... and a lot of Space. do i need it to run FW \Sample

For use FivEdit ( I recommend it ), please read
http://wiki.fivetechsoft.com/doku.php?i ... nstalation

After, Read this post about FivEdit
http://forums.fivetechsupport.com/viewt ... 95#p227745

If you enter the Slack, you will have a lot of information about the Editor, including videos that can help you install it, and if that is not enough, you can contact me, that with pleasure, I can connect by Anydesk, for example and configure your FivEdit in 5 minutes.

But, in summary, if you install your C compilers (Borland, MSVC, ...) correctly, along with the versions of Harbour you need, and edit the BUILD * .BAT files that appear in the Fivewin distribution in case you have to Modify the installation paths, you should not have any problem to use.

Anything you need, do not hesitate to contact.

Many of us use the latest Community version of Visual Studio. It is free.
Also use the latest Harbour for MSVC from the FiveTech downloads page.

With those two installed, I use a GO32.bat:

Code: Select all

@set oldpath=%path%
@set oldinclude=%include%
@set oldlib=%lib%
@set oldlibpath=%libpath%

if exist "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" call "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x86
cd c:\projects\mls11\source\
c:\"Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio"\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.23.28105\bin\HostX86\x86\nmake -fMLS32.mak

@set path=%oldpath%
@set include=%oldinclude%
@set lib=%oldlib%
@set libpath=%oldlibpath%
@set oldpath=""
@set oldinclude=""
@set oldlib=
@set oldlibpath=
 

My MLS32.mak ( you can use any name you want ) is:

Code: Select all

#Microsoft VS2015 make sample, (c) FiveTech Software 2014

My projects are quite large, but simply executing the GO32.bat results in a working build quickly. I hope this helps. Note the paths may vary according to your setup.

hi,

thx for Answer.

When you have downloaded your Fivewin software version, you have also found the download links for the latest versions of Harbour built for the Borland and MSVC compilers.

i have got that Link and Download FiveWin.
after unpack i saw no harbour, BCC or MinGW and no IDE to start for a Newbie

i have to say when start with harbour i want to "jump" to 64 bit so i "oversee" those 32 Bit, sorry
i ask Antonio and he gave me the Link to download BCC7.3064.

i begin to build Sample but some Sample fail and i do not understand why (see "poker")
while FiveWin was "to high" i start with lower Level

i try HMG Contribution which have a IDE where i can use F9, F8 and F5 and Debugger.
after a while i got used "where" to "search" and understand Error Message so i start to write own harbour Apps.

---

next Level was MiniGUI Extendet Version which use OOP Code.
it does have a IDE and use BCC but i can't get Debugger running ... same like FivEdit

btw. i only need F9, F8, F5 and Debugger from IDE.
i still use my DOS ETP Editor with vDOS under 64 Bit which i bought 1985 when start with Cl*pper S87

so my Question are most about Environment where i have Problem to work with FiveWin.

---

i got Dshow Sample running after install \MSVC LIBs.
now next Step : i like to enhance it e.g. choise which CAM to use

but here again my Question is : how get Debugger working

---

Request : can Sample "sort" in Sub-Directory which include "the BAT" which is need for those Type of Sample
