mingw 4.6.1 tdm

[David Arturo Macias Corona]

I am testing Harbour with MingW 4.6.1 tdm /32 bits with DW type, so some
executables have -dw2 suffix

With Harbour r17073
it start working fine with dw2 type detected:

Hi,

I used to delete those -dw2 postfixes in my local install and in the config embedded into Harbour nightly and official release, so the postfixed variation is not supported or well tested.

I don't personally plan to invest time into supporting this strange exception case,
even though i did a few patches in the past for it.

Previously I copied post-fixed to non post-fixed executables, which
involve to "touch" mingw tdm, but is a good solution

I send message about if case is unknown for somebody, but as you
explained, you faced this case before and there are not need to invest
more time

Hi David,

Today I tested hbrun build from contrib root using latest SVN, 

and here it worked without error when using vanilla (-dw2 postfixed) 

mingw installation.

I'm leaving -dw2 postfix on my system from now on to give it 

more testing and eventually we can move on to vanilla mingw 

config in the nightly binary packages.

+1 for move nightly  to -dw2 mingw 4.6.1
Can i help you Viktor?

Thank you Massimo. You can help by testing 

default tdm dw2 mingw with latest Harbour.

When it appears okay according to feedbacks, 

I'll ask Francesco to update the nightly config.

Core zip will not be enough. Use the installer exe if in doubt.

You have two mingws in the PATH.

Viktor

[Viktor Szakáts]

Sorry, mingw in PATH is fine, the other is the Harbour bin dir.

I do not know what you mean with "from contrib root". I repeated and
made more tests and hbrun build allways fail

My PATH is minimal
C:\harbourtest\harbour\contrib\hbrun>set path
Path=C:\Qt\4.7.2\bin;c:\mingw461tdm\bin;C:\Windows\System32
PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC

on Windows 7/64 bits, with Harbour SVN r17073, with just -dw2 postfixed
files

For example, using:
C:\harbourtest\harbour\contrib\hbrun>..\..\bin\win\mingw\hbmk2.exe
hbrun.hbp -trace

we got:

so windres.exe seem to call gcc.exe, which is not found, at least in my
minimal environment

Hi David,

"from contrib root": It means I did a partial Harbour build 

via its GNU Make system, and I limited the set of contribs 

to hbrun. This did a build for all of its dependencies and 

hbrun itself.

I retried, this time with a touched .rc file and I got the same 

error. Which means we cannot do anything because it's a 

TDM mingw problem. Looks like the -dw2 postfix idiocy backfired 

and causing us such time-wasting.

It also means we will have to continue to doctor the filenames 

in order to use TDM.

Viktor

Hi David,

Here habour 3.1.0 (rev 17080) built fine under Windows with MingW32 4.6.1 TDM instaled from the automatic installer.

 

BTW, using the installer the filenames in bin folder don't come with "-dw2" postfix.

 

One interesting thing is that in my laptop there is this warning in the end and it doesn't happen in my desktop.

 

The update/build process was the same on both:

1)install mingw

2)harbour svn update

3)win-make clean install

 

! Finished package rebuild and install...

./bin/win/mingw/hbmk2.exe ./config/postinst.hbs install

Everything was built despit this warning.

It means you didn't install the DWARF2 subvariant of TDM-MINGW.
So this is a default build case, which should work. DWARF2 is required by QT.

These are part of fileio.ch and fileio.ch is #included to postinst.hbs,
so it seems you have an outdated fileio.ch on your system.

ok. so if I want ot use hbqt I have to install DWARF2 subvariant, or just if
I want ot build QT from sources?

>so it seems you have an outdated fileio.ch on your system.

I deleted and updated fileio.ch and the warning is still there. There is
just one fileio.ch under harbour root folder and it is updated. Is there
another possibility?

It's needed if intent to use HBQT.

The header is embedded into hbmk2 executable, so you'll 

have to make a clean rebuild to have this fixed.

I did that and it didn’t work... but no problem: I’ll just copy harbour from my desktop and everything will be ok again.

Thank you,
