Hi all, I've noticed so far I've never ever compiled or dealt with 'gtalleg', simply because it fall out of the mainstream build infrastructure pbly because of it's external dependency.
Since we now have a pretty good infrastructure in the contrib area, to detect and deal with 3rd party lib requirements, I'd like to propose to move externally dependent GTs to the contrib area (next to gtwvg), so that we can use the same mainstream methods for them too. In practice this would mean that some existing power could be unleashed for builders/systems, not yet easily accessible so far, and it would also make the make files, docs and general layout of Harbour a bit more clear, since core would no longer depend on any non-default OS parts. Also, this doesn't mean that these GTs would become second class citizens at all, first of all because these are perfectly good parts of Harbour, secondly because our contrib area is more and more comparable to core in terms of quality or developer attention. These GTs would be involved in this move: - gtalleg - gtcrs - gtsln - gtxwc Locally, by moving gtalleg to contrib, and creating a few standard makefiles, I could finally built it on Windows/BCC55. Opinions? Brgds, Viktor _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
