Porting to Mac

[MarcoBoschi]

Any concrete experience in porting From FWH to FMC?
Is it difficult?
Is it laboriuos?
is it dangerous?


dbfcdx + dbffpt , local area network, jpg, read and create word document
read and create and excel document....well as usual!


And what about utilization of graphical librearies such as
FreeImage.dll or libgfl254.dll

Thanks in advance

Marco,

FiveMac is not at that stage yet. We can not talk about "port" from FWH to FMC.

FiveMac actually is usefull to build not very complex applications. Lets say like an early FiveWin version.

Harbour is fully working so you have DBFs, indexes, etc. and FiveMac provides main pulldown menu, windows, dialogs, controls and browses.

Dangerous? YES

Dangerous for Bill Gates! When you guys see and feel how smooth and beautiful OSX works, you will all switch!

They will not work as you can not use DLL's in OSX. Maybe these libraries can be recompiled for OSX?

Yes, probably there should be an OSX version of those DLLs.

Yes, but I was trying to be careful
You can not take a DLL from a windows PC and use it in OSX. Yes, you can rebuild it for OSX if you have the source. It's not a DLL anymore, its a OSX dynamic library now.
