Is compiler possible portable ?

[huangchenmin]

Hi every
I couldn't use specified pc exculsively, therefor I need a portable compiler in usb disk.
Is that possible? How should I do for that?
Best Regards

As far as I know HMG.4 is fully portable, shouldn't be writing anything in the registry (you only have to locate the QT* runtime libraries in the path for execution) and I saw that build.bat is using relative paths. I think HMG3.x's paths may need some touch-up to make it work from a drive different than C: but maybe the more experienced guys can confirm. In short, try putting the HMG folder in your thumb drive and see how it goes.

Dear cdsaenz:
Thanks for your reply.
3.0.34 is the version I using now. According to you described, What I should do is copy all files included in c:\HMG.3.0.34\ and change the path, in which the libraries link to. Then see if it is done or not! Is that right!

Hello,
I hope I have understood your question my answer is yes and then I'll show you what I use

Some preliminary clarifications:
1 - I am referring to version 3 and not 4 which is under development
2 - I install the distribution of HMG as it is, in the same folder on a partition other than C and obviously I lose the previous version.
3 - I use the files with extension HBC and HBP. In particular, the first file allows you to add "include files and libraries" without altering the compile command.
4 - I modified the build.bat command standards according to my needs, you'll notice that it has fewer options.

Pay attention to certain elements:
A) I do not use the redir command because with (my) WinXp Sp3 this control is already operational, in fact I use the notation "2> & 1".
B) line

Code: Select all

SET HmgPath=D:\HMG\MiniGui

where you set the directory where you installed HMG
C) the line

Code: Select all

SET PATH=%HmgPath%\util;%HmgPath%\mingw\bin;%HmgPath%\harbour\bin;

where you declare the route where MsWin find commands about HMG
D) about resources, thanks to _hmg_resconfig.h file, where with HMGRPATH variable you declare the directory where are the resources (Attention line

Code: Select all

SET Resources=_temp.o

where the previous value is reset). Obviously, you can add other local .rc file, with the same name as the source to compile.
E) if the executable is generated, will be placed in the same directory where the source resides.

Occurs well before using it to control and adapt for your needs, referring to the standard command "build.bat" for more options to activate.

This is my command

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
