New Package Available: Harbour 3.4 + HMG Extended Starter Bundle

[Grigory Filatov]

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to announce the release of the new Harbour 3.4 + HMG Extended Starter Bundle! This bundle is designed to help you get started with Harbour and HMG Extended quickly and easily.
The ZIP archive size is only 13 MB (since the MinGW compiler is not included in this package).

Here's what you'll find in the bundle:
 
StarterBundle-Harbour34-HMGExtended\
├── harbour\               ← Harbour 3.4 binaries
├── hmg\                   ← HMG Extended libs
├── sample_app\
│   ├── Main.prg
│   ├── app.ico
│   ├── build.bat
│   ├── demo.hbp
│   ├── splash.png
├── sample_app2\
│   ├── Main.prg
│   ├── app.ico
│   ├── build.bat
│   ├── demo.hbp
├── build.bat
├── minigui.hbc
├── README.txt
└── QuickStart_Harbour_HMG.pdf

Instructions:

1. Unzip this bundle anywhere.
2. Go to the sample_app folder and double-click build.bat to compile the sample app.
3. If successful, a Main.exe file will be created in sample_app.
4. Double-click it to run a simple GUI with a button.

Sample App 2 - Grid and File Browser:

This app shows a file browser that loads all files from a selected folder into a Grid control.

How to run:

1. Go to the sample_app2 folder and double-click build.bat.
2. Open sample_app2\Main.exe.
3. Use the File menu > Open Folder to browse a directory.
4. The grid will display all filenames and sizes.

This bundle is great for learning how to:

- Use menus
- Work with folder paths and files
- Dynamically update a Grid

We hope you find this bundle helpful! Feel free to ask any questions or share your experiences with the bundle in this thread.

Happy coding!

Best regards,
Grigory Filatov

Thank you Gregory, I am missing something.  

For testing purposes I extracted the contents of 

"https://hmgextended.com/files/CONTRIB/StarterBundle-Harbour34-HMGExtended.zip"

into my RAM drive (R:) into a folder underneath it, "R:\Harbour3.4".

1)  I double-clicked the "R:\Harbour3.4\build.bat" file.

2)  I then went into folder "R:\Harbour3.4\sample_app" and double-clicked the "build.bat" file there.

Result: I got file "R:\Harbour3.4\sample_app\error.log"

Its contents is:

hbmk2 [demo]: Could not detect any supported C compiler in your PATH.
              Setup one or set -comp= option to one of these values: mingw,
              clang, msvc, clang-cl, watcom, icc, bcc, pocc, mingw64, clang64,
              msvc64, clang-cl64, msvcia64, icc64, iccia64, bcc64, pocc64

Unfortunately I  do not understand what to do next here.

Could someone help me understand what I did wrong?  

Thank you for your kind suggestions.

Spencer
