[UPDATED] HMG.4 IDE Test

[Roberto Lopez]

Hi All,

A new release of HMG IDE.4 test version.

It fixes some problems.

You need to download updated HMG.4 sources (at least 2011.11.20) and rebuild the library.

Besides that, you must to change the 'buildaapp.bat' file with the following:

Code: Select all

@echo off

REM
REM $Id$
REM

IF DEFINED HMGPATH GOTO HmgPathDefined

SET HMGPATH=c:\hmg.4
SET PATH=%HMGPATH%\harbour\bin;%HMGPATH%\harbour\comp\mingw\bin;%PATH%
SET HB_WITH_QT=%HMGPATH%\harbour\include

:HmgPathDefined

if "%1"=="/3" goto compatible

HBMK2 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 -w3 -es2 

goto end

:compatible

shift

HBMK2 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 -DHMG3 -i. -run

pause

:end

Do not forget to change hmg.ini file content (if required) to match your HMG.4 location.

Thanks to Francesco for tuning HMG.4 to make this possible.

Enjoy!

Repost of some important things about this release:

Some important things:

- The way in that HMG 3 IDE form designer generates code IS NOT the recommended way to code semi-oop in HMG.4. It reflects the status of HMG at first IDE release in 2004 (MiniGUI library at that time). That style will be supported for backwards compatibility only.

I'm talking about (specifically) of DEFINE WINDOW, DEFINE TAB, DEFINE TREE and other commands that requires that all properties (clauses) be specified in the same line.

This way of coding is considered DEPRECATED (backwards compatible only) in HMG.4.

The preferred semi-oop way is shown in this sample (one property by line):

Code: Select all

   DEFINE MAINWINDOW MainForm
       ROW         10
       COL         10
       WIDTH       600
       HEIGHT      600
       TITLE       "CHILD window demo"
       ONINIT      MainFrmOnInit()

- This IDE.4 is only temporary, until the new IDE be finished.

Thank you very much Roberto.

[Roberto Lopez]

Thank you very much Roberto.

As always, thanks to you for your invaluable help.

If you consider adequate, please, include the IDE in the next HMG.4 binary build.

TIA.

[Rathinagiri]

Definitely Roberto.

Actually I have to cleanup something.

Thanks!

Definitely Roberto.

Actually I have to cleanup something.

And... if that was not already done, please, upload to the SVN the modified 'buildapp.bat' shown in the first message of this thread. Without it, the IDE will not be able to create applications.

It does not alter the previous operation. It only adds the optional '/3' parameter used by IDE to build apps.

TIA.

I've made some modifications to buildapp.bat to have a better way to look at errors.

It captures screen messages and opens the NOTEPAD after build (if errors) to comfortably take a look at the results.

This is the new file:

Code: Select all

@echo off

REM
REM $Id$
REM

IF DEFINED HMGPATH GOTO HmgPathDefined

SET HMGPATH=c:\hmg.4
SET PATH=%HMGPATH%\harbour\bin;%HMGPATH%\harbour\comp\mingw\bin;%PATH%
SET HB_WITH_QT=%HMGPATH%\harbour\include

:HmgPathDefined

if "%1"=="/3" goto compatible

HBMK2 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 -w3 -es2

goto end

:compatible

shift

HBMK2 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 -q -DHMG3 -i. -run >build.log 2>&1

IF ERRORLEVEL 1 NOTEPAD build.log

:end

Gracias por tu trabajo Roberto.

era necesario saber como termina la compilacion; ya que el IDE no llegaba a mostrar los errores si hubo uno.
