MiniGui build 25.06

[Pedro Chanis]

Al ejecutar el programa generado con este build genera un checkstatic.txt archivo que relentiza la salida del programa con un error de excepcion, eso ocurre desde el build 25.05 con esto quiero decir que los errores persisten.

Hello Elias,

There is no error here as the Standard build is for DEBUGGING only.

This build is NOT recommended for production use.

Please refer to the following detailed explanation.

🔧 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.

💡 Conclusion

If your development requires optimized performance, advanced database integration, and access to a broader set of tools and features, the Pro MiniGUI build is the preferable choice. However, for basic applications or initial development phases, the Standard build may suffice.

Hope this is clear now.

Best regards,

Hello Pedro

Unfortunately, the authors went the Microsoft way and added features to the free version that make it harder to use.

I  already gave You a workaround for this in version 25.05 (overwriting the ALTD() function). 

Unfortunately, the authors read this group and blocked this workaround in version 25.06 -make static function _altd()  :-( 

Of course, there are other simple workarounds, but I can't provide them here because they'll be blocked again.

You have the sources, so you can figure out a way to get around these f... restrictions.

Hint: Look in the sources for function calls: CheckStatic() and Set( _SET_DEBUG ...)

After war, Grigory had to leave for another country.
He had been providing full free version earlier, but life changed for no fault of his.
He has to resort to this method to keep going.
Please understand.

Hello everyone,
To be honest I don't understand either.
At some point running the update from version 23 caused all collected LIB, DLL files and example directories to disappear ?!!!.
At first I thought it was a virus, after some time I realized it was intentional.
I had previously paid $200 and would probably have paid more, but in this situation I feel forced to pay a fixed fee.
In a word, this is not a free project with donors but a normal sale of a product with a free, heavily limited demo version.

[Krzysztof Stankiewicz]

Too bad,
Acting by surprise and pretending that it is still a free language based on Clipper.

Maybe it would be better to set a single rate for purchasing the commercial version so that in the future we are not surprised by such radical changes.

[Anand Gupta]

We have to accept now that "MiniGUI Extended" is a paid product.

Though Grigory accepts any donation, the recommendation is something 50$ AFAIK.

He can stop giving the free version which is of little use now.

Please see how much work he does behind the screen for all the new and enhanced features of MG Ex. If we benefit from it, we should help and encourage him.

Regards,

Anand

Boa Noite a todos!

Gostaria de fazer uma pergunta: Na versão extendida, teremos funções para notas fiscais, cupons fiscais e a comunicação com a fazenda?
