Elvira and others,

The PNG issue gets solved this way (finally):

HB_CFLAGS += -DPNG_NO_STDIO

Anyhow, we are planning to avoid the use of this library, included in Harbour, and try to support the PNGs using standard Windows GDI+

Paco García has been so kind to provide us his GDI+ functions to manage PNGs :-)

Thanks Paco!

Thanks for the kind thoughts. My wife had major surgery for breast cancer. The surgeons believe all cancer has been removed but now it is at least six months for healing and reconstruction. She has a wonderful spirit, a positive attitude, and we are blessed with amazing support from friends, associates, and the medical community.

Elvira,

I'm using an older harbour build from Antonio and it works fine with MSVC 2010 and 2013. I don't use bcc.

Timm,

The problem with those builds are that are almost one year old, and in one year there have been many changes in Harbour.

I need Antonio´s support as he is able to review changelog and foresee potential issues and also thet check the oficial FiveTech build in detail.

Thanks.

Yes, I am using libs from April, 2013, so the are old.

Of course I would appreciate new libs, but I simply wanted to say that the ones I have are working.

Improvements are always appreciated.

Tim

Antonio,

Did you build with HB_CFLAGS += -DPNG_NO_STDIO?.

How do we specify this flag for building?.

Also, can you provide the MSVC 2010 build please?.

Thank you :D :D :D
