Tony I don't know a great deal about 4.1 so my comments relate to 3.4 only.
MingW is included with the 3.4 release as a "free" compiler. I wouldn't use this though, and the preferred option is the Microsoft DotNet compiler (just install the Full DotNet 1.1 SDK available from the Microsoft web site - use 1.1 and not one of the later versions). I believe the release notes state that MingW is not for "production" use (though I could be wrong). I believe that in general the object code produced is compatible with any 3.4 system (though I'm never fully convinced and always ship source code and compile on the target system before automatically deleting it). Beyond that I can't think of anything that would cause you problems - unless you've used some functionality that is specific to 4.1 and not available in 3.4 (but I'm sure that the compiler and some testing would easily identify these). HTH Simon -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony G Sent: 24 February 2009 02:30 To: [email protected] Subject: Moving jBase v4.1 accounts to v3.4 We have requests for NebulaXLite (rich Excel spreadsheets from BASIC) on v3.4 for Windows but the original build was done on v4.1 for Windows. I moved the accounts to the target system and executed UpdateMD. I can see all files and compile programs. It looks like it's ready to go. As expected, LISTF shows some files as type J4, and I'm wondering if there is anything lingering in this environment that might cause grief. I especially don't want to give clients a full account for installation and cause them grief with a v3/4 hybrid. If required I could easily just create accounts in v3, move code over, and not confuse it with anything from v4. The 4.1 system had Java and VC++ but the 3.4 system has no Java but does have mingw. Because of this an error is displayed for %JRELIB% in jDiag, but I think this can be ignored. No? Can I expect object-only code that is generated in this environment to work in any target 3.4 system? Would there be a mingw/VC++ issue? Does it matter if this is 3.4.10 and some targets are 3.4.9? Thank you kindly.
