Grigory,

I'll be able to send a donation today.  Can't do it as much as before, unfortunately.

I know you've mentioned this before, but I've been out of the loop with mostly Python coding - 

1)     Which Minigui distribution uses the 32-bit MingW compiler?

2)     What's the difference between the Professional and the Private builds?

Hi Dan.

Thank you for your request!

1) For example, this Private MiniGUI build includes the following tools:

Harbour MiniGUI Extended Edition 26.01 (PRO)  
   
Harbour 3.2.0dev (r2509100708)
   
Harbour Make (hbmk2) 3.2.0dev (r2025-09-10 07:08)
   
gcc version 15.2.0 (MinGW-W64 i686-msvcrt-posix-dwarf, built by Brecht Sanders, r5) 

2) Comparison of standard and professional MiniGUI builds

Compiler: Borland C++ 5.8.2 (32-bit)

🔧 Key Differences Between Pro and Standard Builds

Standard Build:

* Free to download and use.
* Includes a debug version of the MiniGUI library.
* Utilizes the standard Harbour compiler without optimizations.
* Excludes sample applications, utilities, and the SQLRDD library.

Pro Build:

* Available exclusively to donors.
* Features a compressed MiniGUI library without debugging information.
* Employs an optimized Harbour virtual machine tailored for GUI applications.
* Includes advanced components such as the SQLRDD library, sample applications, and utilities.
* Supports additional compilers like MinGW C (32-bit and 64-bit) and Embarcadero C++ 7.70 for Win32.

Reasons to Choose the Pro Build

1. Enhanced Performance:

   * The optimized Harbour VM in the Pro build offers better execution speed and efficiency for GUI applications.

2. Access to Advanced Features:

   * Inclusion of the SQLRDD library facilitates integration with various SQL servers like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird, Oracle, and MS SQL.
   * Provides additional sample applications and utilities to accelerate development.

3. Broader Compiler Support:

   * Compatibility with multiple compilers allows for greater flexibility in development environments.

Hope this is useful.

Best regards,
Grigory

Thanks Grigory,

What I'm really looking for is any minigui library with 32-bit mingw components.  It could be the limited standard library, or private or pro.

I'm playing with Cython the 32-bit version, and wanted to be able to interact between Cython, Harbour/MiniGui, and GNU Prolog, all 32-bit.

Whether you have a MiniGui 32-bit distribution or not, I sent a donation a while ago.

Thanks and Regards,



DC
