FiveTech Software tech support forums

Currently there are several options for building applications with FWH. I would like to know what people find works best for them, and why. You might mention the version of the compiler you use, and where it is available. I think this covers the options:

xHarbour ( commercial ) : With xBuilder, this is easy to use. The Pelles C compiler is included.

xHarbour ( distributed with FWH ):

Microsoft C:

Borland C:

Hi Tim:

From my very beginning with FWH I have used xHarbour (distributed with FWH) and Borland as C/Resource compiler without a single problem.

To build my applications I use UEstudio and I'm fully satisfied.

Best regards.

Manuel Mercado.

Tim, i use since begin of fwh:

Xharbour CVS (or last stable), bcc 551, borland resource workshop, iam studing migrate to uestudio.

without any problems. i already try harbour too.

Dear Tim,

I've used xBuilder for a year, it is easy when I migrate from FW16bits and support many useful function.

Unfortunately, FWH lib must be re-compile everytime of new issue. When FW has new enhance features that not include in xBuilder script (re-compile FWH lib), I will got the error. xHarbour.com is excellent tool if you use all of thier featues (Visual xHb, script and etc.).

Now I try xHb (FW Distributed) + BCC551 + Uestudio and no problem for a year. It take only a day to learn how to use it.

Where is a good place to download BCC 551 ?

Got it ...

Now for my next ( last ? ) question. I know there is a subject on the forum for how to setup / use UE Studio for building an application with bcc 551. I just can't seem to get the search terms right to find it.

I have all the elements ...now I need the build script. I'm doing this so I can compare the results of my Borland build vs Pelles ( and xBuilder ).

Thanks.

Tim,

The configuration files are in the FW\UESTUDIO directory (in later versions of FW).

For more details, try searching for:

ue studio -visual

This will eliminate the references to visual studio.

Tim,

This video that Otto recorded may help you:

http://www.pustertal-online.com/uestudio/UeStart.html

There is a link shown on the screen for the setup files but it appears to not be there anymore. It includes a build script.

I realize UE Studio already has that built in, but I'd like one already configured for Borland 551 so I don't make setup mistakes.

Thanks.

Dear Tim,

It has in FWH\UESTUDIO, if not see below. It is my config that I get and modified for my project.

wordfile.uew for recognized xHarbour command, operater and etc. You can put in any place and set to the project.


This is the file you need and included full path (I installed uestudio as simple way).
You should modify C:\Program Files\IDM Computer Solutions\UEStudio 06\configs\xHarbour\Application to fit your environment such as xHarbour, FWH, BCC55 path and other library file need to include and parameter (That I knew).

We use UEStudio for all our developments.

It is a great tool

I have had UE Studio for a year. My biggest issue is the formatting of code ... it just doesn't handle it well.

I have Multi Edit also. The only problem I had with that was a broken Macro recorder in Vista but that was just fixed.

I'm using ME on my main machine with xHB. I'm using Multi Edit Studio on my laptop with Borland / xHarbour ( from the FWH distribution ). Hopefully I can pull it all together next week and see how the two compare.

Dutch,

Thank you for the files. I'll know more next week when I try working with them. I've done well with xHB but I do want to compare
