MingW makefile

[Roberto Parisi]

Hi Antonio,
where can I find (if it exists) mingw makefile to build fivewin library?

Thx in advance,
Roberto Parisi

[Roberto Parisi]

Antonio, is it possible? I read about your tries, can we go with it?

Roberto,

These are the rules to build it:

Code: Select all

.PRG.O:
   c:\harbour\bin\harbour.exe $< /L /N /W /Oobjg\ /I.\include;c:\harbour\include
   c:\mingw\bin\gcc -c -Ic:\harbour\include -Ic:\mingw\include -oobjg\$&.o $&.c
   c:\mingw\bin\ar rc .\lib\FiveHG.lib objg\$&.o

.C.O:
  c:\mingw\bin\gcc -c -D__FLAT__ -D__HARBOUR__ -Ic:\mingw\include -Ic:\harbour\include -Ic:\fwh\include -oobjgc\$&.o $&.c
  c:\mingw\bin\ar rc .\lib\FiveHGC.lib objgc\$&.o

.CPP.O:
  c:\mingw\bin\gcc -c -D__FLAT__ -D__HARBOUR__ -Ic:\mingw\include -Ic:\harbour\include -Ic:\fwh\include -oobjgc\$&.o $&.cpp
  c:\mingw\bin\ar rc .\lib\FiveHGC.lib objgc\$&.o

May I ask what MingW is?
Thanks in advance

Thx Antonio.

I have still problems with inline asm... mingw seems want asm("...") instead _asm {...} sintax.

Have you already solved this issue?

Thx in advance,
Roberto Parisi

Roberto,

What files are failing to compile ?

[Roberto Parisi]

I've got errors on CallDll.c

Another question... I know there are internal functions for fivehc.lib, how to make a working fivehc.lib with mingw?

Sorry Antonio for the questions,

this Mingw we can compile with fwh ?

it is good than borland cc++ ?

[Antonio Linares]

Roberto,

If you need the libraries we can build them here for you.

Silvio,

Most of the different C compilers are very good. gcc is open source and free. Thats the main difference.

[Roberto Parisi]

Yes Antonio, many thx.

I think it's the time to change to a more modern, fast and portable compiler against old and not updated bcc, so I want to test if mingw do the work without problems.

Roberto Parisi

Roberto,

In FWH 8.10 we already published a MingW version but there was little interest about it,

Anyhow we are building it again and we will announce when it becomes available again as we have to recompile all modules using gcc and ususally there are compatibily issues.

[Roberto Parisi]

Ok Antonio.

Many thx.
