Harbour v3, where are my object files?

[Fred Philip]

Hi folks,

 

a question that might have been asked in the past and possibly already answered, but I dare to ask...

When compiling my PRG's, where are my object files?

 

We have the policy that PRG's and OBJ's are archived in VSS/SVN so that they can be used for future linking.

However it seems to me that these files are created (temporarily) and then purged before the end of the make process with hbmk2.

 

Is there a switch in harbour/hbmk2 that does not erase OBJ's?

 

Yes I know you may answer "you don't need the OBJ's" and I will answer: Yes I do.

 

Any feedback much appreciated

 

TIA

Hi,

You must use the -inc parameter.  In your hbp folder, there are hidden folder .hbmk with .o files.

Regards,

Juan

Add this line in your project file .hbp:

-oC:\MyCompilationFolder\MyThisProjectFolder

Then you can always inspect the above folder where all the 

resulting files are deposited including the .o | .obj files.

Juan,

I read (from the hbmk2 help) that "-inc" is the directive for incremental build (???)
I'm confused a little bit.

Cheers

Pritbal,

Are you sure that this option works?

I redirected the output to a customized folder but neither the c code nor the object files are in this folder.
I'm puzzled.

Since many years. Read HbMk2 documentation.

Show your .hbp and also how you call it on command line.

Hi Fred,

Yes. When use these parameter  .o  files  stored in non temporal folder.

I believe these are the hbmk2 options your are looking for:

-o<outname> output file name
This is the name of the binary you are building

-workdir=<dir> working directory
(default: .hbmk/plat/comp in incremental mode, OS
temp directory otherwise)
Make sure that the directory you specify already exists. This is where
the .o and .c files will be put if you build incrementally.

-inc[-] enable/disable incremental build mode (default:
disabled)
The second dash ( -inc- ) means do *not* build incrementally, and erase
existing .o and .c files. This is useful for temporarily turning off
incremental build from the commandline when the .hbp file says -inc for
normal builds.

To get the help topics listed in a file, do
hbmk2 --help > hbmk2help.txt
or
hbmk2 --longhelp > hbmk2longhelp.txt

Regards,
Klas

Hi Guys,

The problem is solved.
I created a directive in my .hbp file for the output of .c and .obj files (-workdir=..\tmp)
and changed the entry in the .hbp file to <-inc> (not -inc+)

and voila, the files are in the folder and not erased at the end of compile/link cycle.

Thanks to all who posted here.
Cheers, Fred
