How to enable error logging to the hb_out.log file?

[2tict...@gmail.com]

Hi.

How to enable error logging to the hb_out.log file? I am compiling on Debian linux using hbmk2 with *.hbp file. Harbour version: 3.2.0dev (r2023-04-21 11:01). Error does not create log file.

Best regards, Dmian

I don't know how you build harbour.

By my side, I use these commands :

make 2>&1                          |tee -a harbour.log
sudo -E make install 2>&1   |tee -a harbour.log

A+

Thank you Alain

 I'm talking about program execution errors, not compilation errors. I do exactly as you wrote. I redirect stderr to a file e.g. ./myprog 2> hb_out.log. I know that Harbour error handling does this automatically. When a program is compiled by hbmk2 myprog.prg then the runtime error creates the hb_out.log file but when the program is compiled by hbmk2 myproject.hbp the runtime errors do not create the hb_out.log file.

ok, but the solution using tee has the advantage to display the output during the compilation and install

I must say that I don't have this problem, as I use hwgui, and I compil my progs with HwMake (which also handles pure harbour programs), and this tools don't use hbmk2, but harbour and gcc.

HI
The hb_out.log is very rarely created, I don't even pay attention to it.
Instead, the
I use xhb_ErrorLog("ERROR.TXT", .F.) function which should be called once while main() is running, and then for each error it creates a file with the current error, SET status, etc.
append the source xhb_ErrorLog() \contrib\xhb\xhberr.prg to the .hbmk.
