Building hmg3

[Rathinagiri]

Hi Marek,

Yes, I am just working on that.

Hi,

I am just listing the procedure to be followed to build hmg using latest harbour.

• Download latest build of harbour (I had downloaded nightly build Harbour Windows executable from http://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour ... e/download)
• Install it in default directory (c:\hb21)
• Now backup your existing hmg folder somewhere safe and delete harbour, mingw folders
• Copy all the folders from c:\hb21\bin,lib,contrib,include,doc to c:\hmg\harbour\
• Copy all the folders from c:\hb21\comp\mingw\*.* to c:\hmg\mingw\
• Now, you have to make the following edits in hmg source to get the library compiled successfully.
  
  • Edit in \hmg\source\c_media.c - Replace line no. 144 with the following:
    

    Code: Select all

    // 	hwnd=MCIWndCreate((HWND) hb_parnl(1),NULL,Style,hb_parc(2));
    

  • Edit in \hmg\source\h_init.prg - Replace line no. 628 with the following:

    Code: Select all

    	_HMG_SYSDATA [ 306 ] := ( EMPTY( CreateMutex( , .T., strtran(GetProgramFileName(),'\','_') ) ) .OR. (HMGGetLastError() > 0) )
    

  • Edit in \hmg\source\c_winapimisc.c - Replace line no. 416 to 419 with the following:
    

    Code: Select all

    HB_FUNC ( HMGGETLASTERROR )
    {
      hb_retnl( (LONG) GetLastError() ) ;
    }
    
    

  • Edit in \hmg\source\h_windows.prg. Replace line no 5588 with the following:

    Code: Select all

    		uResult := CallDll32 ( "IsAppThemed" , "UXTHEME.DLL"  )
    

• Now create these files:
  • BuildLib.bat in c:\hmg

    Code: Select all

    @echo off
    
    SET HMGPATH=\hmg
    
    SET PATH=%HMGPATH%\harbour\bin;%HMGPATH%\mingw\bin;%PATH%
    
    hbmk2 hmg.hbp
    

  • hmg.hbp in c:\hmg

    Code: Select all

    -hblib
    -inc
    -olib/hmg
    
    -Iinclude
    
    -D__HBIDE__

  • hmg.hbc in c:\hmg

    Code: Select all

    incpaths=include
    libpaths=lib
    incpaths=\hmg\include
    libpaths=\hmg\lib
    libs=hbmzip.hbc
    libs=hbwin.hbc
    libs=${hb_name}${__HB_DYN__}
    libs=hbct.hbc
    gui=yes
    

• Run buildlib.bat from c:\hmg
• Now you can find various warnings etc,. and libhmg.a is created in c:\hmg\lib

Next I will tell you how to compile applications.

Thanks a lot Rathi, you are a real diamond

Next I will tell you how to compile applications.

We will wait eagerly

thx!

Now we shall see how to build an application.

• Create buildapp.bat in c:\hmg with the following:
  

  Code: Select all

  @echo off
  SET HMGPATH=c:\hmg
  SET PATH=%HMGPATH%\harbour\bin;%HMGPATH%\mingw\bin;%PATH%
  HBMK2 -gtgui %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 
  

• Create build.bat in your project folder with the following:
  

  Code: Select all

  @echo off
  c:\hmg\buildapp.bat %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 -run
  

• Create hbmk.hbm in the project folder with the following:

  Code: Select all

  c:\hmg\hmg.hbc
  

• Create projectname.hbp in your project folder as usual with all the source files. If you have resource file (.rc) include the name of the resource file also.
• Use build projectname.hbp to build the project.

That's all!

Now, in the above method, I had compiled one of my big projects and it works fine except for the following problems.

1. When the Windows is themed, some (label, slider, checkbox, radiobutton) controls (especially inside tab) are shown with black background. If the windows is not themed, it works fine.

2. We can't use player control. (Since we have commented out a line in c:\hmg\source\c_media.c to compile/build successfully.)

Now, IMHO, all the above problems can be solved by Harbour/C gurus in our forum in a matter of seconds. If you know the solution to any of the above problems or found any new problem, kindly post here.

Thanks again Rathi

Hi Rathi,

I just can't thank you enough for this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[Rathinagiri]

I have solved the console window problem by changing buildapp.bat. Now we have just two problems to be solved.

Hi Rathi,

I just can't thank you enough for this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I had done just nothing.

Already Roberto utilized hbmk2 to build HMG 4 library. I tried to build the same way HMG 3 too. With just two modifications, I could build the library without any problems.

We have to solve the two problems to make it complete.

In the mean time, shall I make bundle of all these things and share it here?
