#7 rtl.lib

[sfexplorer]

Hi,

Several of the bld*.bat files refer to an rtl.lib. But I cannot locate this, either in the hb32 or the hwgui folders.

Do I need to build this library first, before trying to compile anything hwgui-related?

[Alexander S.Kresin]

Those bld.bat files are written to suppot both Harbour and xHarbour.
In xHarbour libraries are rtl.lib, vm.lib, ..., in Harbour - hbrtl.lib, hbvm.lib, .... The bld.bat checks, if the hbvm.lib exists in default place for Harbour (%HRB_DIR%\lib), and, if yes, goes to the 'hrb' mark in a bat file:

if exist %HRB_DIR%\lib\hbvm.lib goto hrb

if no - it thinks that you have xHarbour and uses xHarbour's names of libraries.
So, you need to change bat file to use your path to libraries, or to copy Harbour libraries to %HRB_DIR%\lib.
Another option is to use hbmk.

Yep, I understand now. Thanks for the clarification.

However, I'm using Harbour, but the necessary files are not part of the distribution.

hbvm.lib, hbrtl.lib, or wildcard searchers rtl.lib etc, are not in the entire set of subfolders off c:\hb32.

I can't find them anywhere, except in the c:\minigui distribution.

Is HWGui using a specific version of Hb32 that contains these libraries? Can you forward a link?

Thanks,

[sfexplorer]

I just went ahead and copied all of the .lib files from c:\minigui\harbour\lib to c:\hb32\lib, and it almost builds. (Yeah, I know it's convoluted, but it doesn't work any other way).

But now it returns an unresolved external type message

Error: Unresolved external '_HB_FUN_HB_GT_GUI_DEFAULT' referenced from ..\HWGUI\BCC\LIB\HWGUI.LIB|hcwindow

For anyone who's paying attention, I got it working, with a test file in \hwgui\samples

I don't actually recall everything I tried - because there was a lot - but

1. As recommended elsewhere, put this at the top of your main source file:

ANNOUNCE HB_GT_SYS
REQUEST HB_GT_WIN_DEFAULT

1. In the HWGUI samples folder, there's a bld.bat.

Immediately after the statement

echo %HWGUI_INSTALL%\lib\hwgdebug.lib + >> b32.bc

, insert this:

echo %HRB_DIR%\lib\hbdebug.lib + >> b32.bc

compile with a -b of course, and the debugger will open without you having to inject an altd()
