Re: [Harbour] Contrib´s not build with 14457
Rossine,
Are you using MingW or BCC?
MingW (TDM) is the recomended one. BCC is not as good according to tests
made by the developers.
Seems to me you are mixing it and you also have too many enviroment
variables set.
As I understand the instructions in INSTALL, it should be simpler. Did
you read it?
If you are using MingW it will not generate *.lib files but *.a files
instead.
I recomend you to re-read the INSTALL. There you will find clear
instructions how to build the libs.
I hope it will help you.
Regards
Qatan

Re: [Harbour] Problem with upper and lower based on CDP
Hello Viktor, ANSI and OEM are totally confusing Microsoft (Windows-specific) terms so we stay out of using them in Harbour. We already support both, but with other names. ANSI is usually ??WIN, and OEM is usually ??85n. Viktor Are not ??ISO and ??WIN the same thing? Thanks for your help.

Re: [Harbour-users] Re: DBF Fast text search / SQLite
Hello Massimo,
Good example, but I don't have MySQL installed and can't test it.
Does anyone has MySQL installed and harbour from SVN built with
HB_WITH_MYSQL set? Could you please test the example?
What I am trying to see is the REPLACE command working. According to
what I could understand it will not save the records on the server side,
only on cached query result but SQL database is not changed.
The programmer must call SQL command explicitly to modify SQL tables.
SSI provides a method to detect which cached rows was changed or appended.
I would like to see it in a example, please.
Thanks

3. Modifying database
SSI presents a query result via RDD interface and generates no hidden
SQL queries. So, how database can be changed? Does DBAPPEND() and
FIELDPUT()
works, or is it readonly SQL interface?
DBAPPEND(), FIELDPUT() and other similiar functions work on cached query
result, i.e. query can be appended by new rows and field values can be
changed, but SQL database is not changed. DBCREATE() function can also be
used to create an empty query result but no table is created on SQL
server.
So, SSI can also be used as implementation of array RDD.
The programmer must call SQL command explicitly to modify SQL tables.
SSI provides a method to detect which cached rows was changed or appended.

Re: [Harbour] Slow create index under threads
Hello Rafa,
I am not sure, may be wrong but I would say also that the fisical access
of the HD Head divided in different threads would increase the time to
access the same ammount of data compared to only one thread.
This is due to the fisical comings and goings of the Head over the disk
surface.
I don't know for SDD but maybe it would have a similar effect because
multi threading would not be an advantage for disk access, only for CPU.

Subject: [Harbour] Slow create index under threads
Hello,
I'm trying to do a re indexing using threads, but according to tests
under Windows Vista,
Quarda Intel Core, 4 Gig RAM, the tests are not entirely satisfactory;
The basic idea was to determine the number of threads that want to
implement,
N_THREADS, which is passed by parameter, for testing purposes.
Well, times;
1 thread= 29 minutes THE WINNER!
4 threads = 93 minutes WoW!
7 threads = 68 minutes
5 Threads = 64 minutes
Something to do this by penalizing Harbour indexing, or the code above,
you have
thing excessively penalized.

Re: [Harbour] HBNetIO file functions
Hello Mario, Well, in my experience after conversion, the speed difference is very noticeable on a heavy traffic network compared to a shared access application. I can also set the shared folder to Read Only from the server for direct file access security (accidental deletion?) while performing the normal application process via NETIO. I just need a variable that contains like cFileSvr:=net:serverhost:server dbf folder then open dbf file as DbUseArea(.T., ,(cFileSvr+dbfile)). I can then simply set cFileSvr:= to operate on Non-NETIO environment. Personally, it is that flexible to switch between the usual way of opening dbf files and NETIO to achieve its amazing benefit. Thanks for sharing your experience. It helps Seems pretty simple. I will try when I have time and more resources (2 computers).

Hello Maniero, I understand you. I had (and have) the same difficulties you have. Documentation is something difficult to do and the developers are too busy fixing and tunning up Harbour. This is a very good quality job they are doing. Do not give up! Soon you will be able to compile and test every example and maybe help to find some bugs (and solutions) to make Harbour even better.

It's not perfect because the heavy legacy to honor. I like the design of a clean core with extensions. I want publicly prize Viktor and PC (I can´t write his name :-) ). I agree with most of their decisions and I strongly appreciate their work. Ok, now I can criticize some points without fear :-) I want to see Harbour moving forward, not in xHarbour style, but in smart Harbour style. In Brazil we have a popular expression: The hasty eating raw :-) I want to make it clear: I want help Harbour development. Now I can mainly give my opinions, try to influence some decisions, suggest enhancements, report bugs. I need to get experience with C99 and GCC. My C experience is about MS-C 5.0 (I give you a candy if you know why :-) ). I need to get time to help with code. I will try to contribute with some thing later. I can't help too much with documentation, IMHO the biggest Harbour need, because my bad English. I am improving Wikipedia's article now. I invite you to contribute too. It's an initial work. I will contribute more on Portuguese article. I am writing about Harbour on a variety of articles (xBase, programming languages comparison, etc). See my contribs logged as bigown. Please, feel free to add new information or edit and delete wrong or bad text. I am reviewing text bring from xHarbour. It's a good way to learn more about Harbour. Viktor

Re: [Harbour] SF.net SVN: harbour-project:[14188] trunk/harbour
Hi, I humblely agree since HBIde is a tool and it is not the language so it should have a separate documentation to avoid overstuffing the Changelog. Also, this would help anyone interested in using this nice and impressive tool to find concentrate information in one place. I may be wrong... please correct me.

Re: [Harbour] mingw 4.5.0 benchmarks
Hello Francesco, Just to mention: Did you try the hbmk2 -jobs=n option. This option starts n compilaton threads (multiprocess plataforms only). It works very well for me and reduces the compilation time.

It's a one time overhead on developer's side and and permanent and noticeable gain on the users' side. No problem for a lng one-time compiler build but I believe that also prg compilation is slower... hbmk2 incremental helps a lot but it is anyway a longer edit-compile-debug cycle ___ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour ___ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
Re: [Harbour] recommended C compiler for Win
Maurilio, PS. I've installed dragon media, smartsvn and I was able to build harbour on win32 very smoothly. Maurilio. Just to share my humble experience I've installed MingW-5.1.6, TortoiseSVN-1.6.7.18415-win32-svn-1.6.9., UPX-304w without any problems and I was able to build harbour from SVN on WinXP very well. The mingw installation I found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/ It was very simple for me. Maybe I was a lucky sailor in the first voyage?

Re: [Harbour] recommended C compiler for Win
Viktor, Just don't be mistaken by the misleading versioning of mingw here, 5.1.6 has nothing to do with the gcc version which the distro is based on, it's their own numbering (similar to cygwin (1.7) and djgpp (2.04b) verison). Thanks for the nice explanation. It brings light for us to understand all that. Now it's fine, the only problem is that it gives you gcc version 3.4.5, which is a 6 years old version, much less efficient than current ones. [ Even if you chose candidate or current. ] [ Besides it install itself into start menu, plus saves temporary files without asking about it or deleting them. But that's really minor issue compared to the rest. ] Ok, Thanks again. I just downloaded TDM bundled installer and installed it. Pretty easy. Didn't notice much difference (my app is very small) but your advise gives me the centainty that I am now using the best tool for harbour. What do you think about changing the INSTALL file where it says: Tools: ... GNU Make Windows binary + source: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW%20make And put: http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/ instead (or as an option)? Just a humble suggestion, of course.
