FWH64
We are currently using the 32 bit Fivewin Harbour with Borland compiler. We are interested in the migration to the 64 bit version, and how seamless this may be.
Has anyone gone through this migration? What can we expect as challenges? What is the typical development environment for the 64 bit version?

Perry,
The migration to FWH 64 is quite straightforward.
If you review FWH\samples\build64.bat you will see how to use the Visual Studio C compiler and libraries. Actually FWH 64 supports Visual Studio 2013 Express.
Surely in January or February we will migrate FWH 64 from Visual Studio 2013 to Visual Studio Community 2015.

Re: FWH64
For Debugging do you use Visual Studio or FWH64?

For high level debugging (PRG code), the FWH debugger.
For low level debugging (C code), the Visual Studio debugger.

Is FWH 64 already migrated to Visual Studio Community 2015?
Thanks

Re: FWH64
Marc, Günther,
We already tested FWH 64 with Visual Studio Community 2015 and it worked fine, but by that time Visual Community was still in beta.
If we all agree, then we can migrate FWH 64 to Visual Studio Community 2015

Always (mostly) using the newest...!!
Re: FWH64
Antonio,
What areas of code will we need to change for FWH 64? In the past not all commands were compatible.
To be exact, can code written for 32 bit FWH be used with 64 bit FWH ?
At this time I have to do builds with xHarbour ( 32 bit ), and I have a 32 bit MSVC / Harbour version, and both use the same source code files for the build. Would this also be true for the 64 bit FWH ?
I do have clients who still have older 32 bit OS installed.

Re: FWH64
Tim,
Actually FWH 64 is fully compatible with FWH 32, so there is no need to modify anything in your app.
Just compile with Harbour 64 and use FWH 64 and you will get a 64 bits version of your app.

Re: FWH64
Antonio,
Is there a xHarbour 64 version?
Do I understand correctly, VC is not required, but rather it is optional?

No, as far as I know.

Actually VC is a must for 64 bits. We are trying to get FWH 64 working with bcc 7 too.
Tim,

Current version and two months free upgrades.

Re: FWH64
OK ... I'm thinking on it. Maybe a 2nd promo with a longer time of updates. Based on threads here, there are still numerous issues being resolved with the existing version, and 2 months might not get us to a "clean and stable" version during this period of quickly advancing FW development.
