How to build Harbour for Windows Mobile 6.5 using VS2012

[Antonio Linares]

I am trying to build Harbour for Windows Mobile 6.5 (arm) using this batch file:

call "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin\x86_arm\vcvarsx86_arm.bat"

set HB_USER_CFLAGS=/D_ARM_WINAPI_PARTITION_DESKTOP_SDK_AVAILABLE

win-make.exe

It fails with:

c:\harbour\src\3rd\png\png.h(3209) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' bef

ore '*'

c:\harbour\src\3rd\png\png.h(3209) : error C2081: 'FILE' : name in formal parame

ter list illegal

c:\harbour\src\3rd\png\png.h(3209) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' bef

ore '*'

c:\harbour\src\3rd\png\png.h(3209) : error C2059: syntax error : 'type'

c:\harbour\src\3rd\png\png.h(3209) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'

win-make.exe[4]: *** [png.obj] Error 2

win-make.exe[3]: *** [descend] Error 2

win-make.exe[2]: *** [png] Error 2

win-make.exe[1]: *** [3rd] Error 2

win-make.exe: *** [src] Error 2

Isn't supported ? thanks

Replacing FILE with void in png.h(3209) it compiles some more modules but finally crashes.

It seems as we can't use VS2012 to build Harbour for Windows Mobile 6.5, unless I am wrong.

A new try: (using VS2012)

call "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86_arm

set HB_COMPILER=msvcarm

set HB_USER_CFLAGS=/D_ARM_WINAPI_PARTITION_DESKTOP_SDK_AVAILABLE

win-make

If I set HB_USER_CFLAGS as 

set HB_USER_CFLAGS=/DFILE=void* /D_ARM_WINAPI_PARTITION_DESKTOP_SDK_AVAILABLE

then the first file gets compiled and stops on the next one:

cl.exe   -I. -I../../../../../../include -nologo -D_M_ARM -DARM -D_ARM_ -TC -W2

-Os -Gy  -DUNICODE -DUNDER_CE -Ic:/harbour/src/3rd/zlib -DPNG_NO_STDIO /DFILE=vo

id* /D_ARM_WINAPI_PARTITION_DESKTOP_SDK_AVAILABLE -Fopngerror.obj  -c ../../../p

ngerror.c

pngerror.c

../../../pngerror.c(725) : error C2065: 'stderr' : undeclared identifier

../../../pngerror.c(727) : error C2065: 'stderr' : undeclared identifier

../../../pngerror.c(788) : error C2065: 'stderr' : undeclared identifier

../../../pngerror.c(789) : error C2065: 'stderr' : undeclared identifier

keep trying it...

The if I use:

set HB_USER_CFLAGS=/Dstderr=2 /DFILE=void* /D_ARM_WINAPI_PARTITION_DESKTOP_SDK_AVAILABLE

I can keep compiling mich more Harbour core files

I think that with some minor fixes we could make Harbour (WinCE) compatible with VS2012 Express.

Help is welcome, thanks

Hi,

The critical is what you set in general build settings (beginning
of setdout harbour build output) and you haven't sent this part of
code. I guess platform is not WCE but rather pure WIN so STDIO is
not disable. You can disable STDIO in PNG library by:

set HB_USER_CFLAGS=-DPNG_NO_STDIO

Przemek,

thanks for your help. I am using this batch file:

call "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86_arm

set HB_COMPILER=msvcarm

set HB_USER_CFLAGS=/D_ARM_WINAPI_PARTITION_DESKTOP_SDK_AVAILABLE

set LIB=%LIB%;"c:\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK\Lib\ARMV4I"

win-make

but it errors trying to compile png.c. I have added /D-DPNG_NO_STDIO also but no effect.

If would be great that we may be able to use VS2012 to build Harbour for WinCE. thanks

Antonio

Can you redirect win-make to file and sent here initial few lines
begininning with "!". The last interesting one is:
! GIT_REVISION: *******

Looks like too much "D" C compiler options with different prefixes.
Try: /DPNG_NO_STDIO

(in the requested output we can see what exactly is used).

Przemek,

I just did a clean checkout and this is the log:

the batch file:

set HB_COMPILER=msvcarm

set HB_USER_CFLAGS=/D_ARM_WINAPI_PARTITION_DESKTOP_SDK_AVAILABLE

set LIB=%LIB%;"c:\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK\Lib\ARMV4I"

Hi,

The problem is in PNG library.
Looks that newer versions fixed it.
In the one used in Harbour you may try to disable
PNG_SIMPLIFIED_WRITE_SUPPORTED as temporary workaround.

In spare time (hope in next week) I'll upgrade PNG and some other
3-rd party libraries.

Przemek,

ok, I see, thanks

The further I have gone was using:

1. set HB_USER_CFLAGS=/Dstderr=2 /DFILE=void* /D_ARM_WINAPI_PARTITION_DESKTOP_SDK_AVAILABLE

(compiles many, then stops)

2. set HB_USER_CFLAGS=/D_ARM_WINAPI_PARTITION_DESKTOP_SDK_AVAILABLE
(more)

3. set HB_USER_CFLAGS=/D__STDC__ /D_ARM_WINAPI_PARTITION_DESKTOP_SDK_AVAILABLE

(more and finally stops here:)

../../../hbdate.c(963) : error C3861: 'GetProcAddressA': identifier not found

win-make[3]: *** [hbdate.obj] Error 2

win-make[2]: *** [descend] Error 2

win-make[1]: *** [common] Error 2

win-make: *** [src] Error 2

Please notice that I used /D__STDC__ to bypass hbwince.c or stops there.

many thanks
