HMG - Latest Status

[CCH4CLIPPER]

Hi All

Its been 11 years since I last did a project in HMG via V3.0.35

Have just been commisioned to convert a legacy 5.2e project to Harbour. Have already done :
1. Successfully converted to Harour 3.2 using hbmk2 via mapping undefined functions from ancient libraries via mapping to hb functions
2. Have successfully mapped alert() to wapi_messagebox
3. Implemented basic GT functions for icon/windows title/gui windows

Next is to windows a window-like menu system etc

Just wondering :

1. What is the latest HMG version ?
2. Will this latest version break codes in Harbour 3.2
3. Will it break codes written for 3.0.35

Hello... The latest is 3.5 and you can download it here above where it says: Download HMG
If you want zero problems, recompile it with the same version and libraries with which it was created.

Hi Claudio

1. Installed HMG.3.5 successfully
2. cd basics\main_demo folder & easily build demo.hbp

Then tried hbmk2 demo.hbp & got the following error messages
C:\HMG.3.5\SAMPLES\Basics\MAIN_DEMO>hbmk2 demo.hbp

hi,

Then tried hbmk2 demo.hbp & got the following error messages
C:\HMG.3.5\SAMPLES\Basics\MAIN_DEMO>hbmk2 demo.hbp

What am I doing wrong ?

have you SET your PATH to all working Folder ...

there a Build.BAT under C:\HMG which will SET Environment before call HBMK2
do not use HBMK2 "direct" when have not SET Environment e.g. for PATH

try this

Code: Select all

C:\HMG.3.5\SAMPLES\Basics\MAIN_DEMO>..\..\build.bat demo.hbp

i do assign *.HBP to (Unicode) IDE so when dblclick on demo.HBP it will load IDE and i can press F5

Hi Jimmy

Thanks for the speedy response.

Have already resolved issue via SET HMGPATH=C:\HMG.3.5

Hello, As Jimmy mentions, it is convenient to use the default path by HMG in the installation.
Also remember to never create folder or file names with spaces or it won't compile.
