Re: [Harbour] Re: Introducing myself
I will try improve documentation too, but I can just do well in Portuguese. I will be the boring guy to touch key of documentation. Typical xbase programmers (not most of this list) have problems when they documentation, imagine when he can't found documentation. I am not a very expert on programming but I know fundamentals, I have experience with low level programming and I worked with hundreds big companies and I am in trouble to put my own Harbour build up and to understand some internals that I will need work soon. I know many Clipper programmers, I helped a lof of them and I am very proud that all of them are better xBase programmer than the average. Some of them never had heard on Harbour, some gave up Harbour after one failure (this is a typical xBase programmer), and old Harbour versions helped build an image of unprofessional plataform to migrate applications. I feel that documentation and advocacy are very necessary. Even when I dislike advocacy :-) Thanks but I am just giving some thing back to all efforts that the team have done to Harbour. Again, sorry by my very strange english.

Important is not the language, but the willingness to express. Welcome on the list. 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. Well-said. I would like help with HBIDE but I have a very different programming style and my major problem as developer is difficulty of adaptation on other style. Totally my fault. Anyway I would like to see HBIDE evolution mainly in code editor and debugger. In fact I hope to get HBIDE compiled. Four days trying and nothing :-) But I can't get any application using Qt or MySQL compiled. Maybe my Harbour build is wrong. I still trying. It is strange. If you have set Harbour environment properly, which I guess you have, and Qt distro then it should be a matter of issueing only c:\hbmk2 hbide.hbp Let us know where you get the problems. Thanks to everyone efforts. Harbour community need to be more active to sell Harbour on the web. IMHO most xBase programmer is individualist too much, including. I hope change this. Yes. This is a pitty. Very few are vocal and respond on the lists. - enjoy hbIDEing...

We have forum(s), wikipedia entry, user's list with large amount of web gateways, developer's mailing list with again huge amount of web gateways, we have bug reporting engine, SVN web access, Trac with wiki, stats pages, automated nightly downloads, webpage, blogs, feature request page, facebook group. If this is not enough or unacceptable for some users, I'm personally very sorry, but the fault is not on our side. ( Or do we miss Twitter?? ;) IMO any mails/complaints/request suggesting missing communication medium is just unnecessary noise. Rather pls go along and exploit current mediums.

Qatan wrote: Antonio, I had problems building HBIDE in the past and I understand you. My main problem was configuring the enviroment. I assume that you have already downloaded the right tools from the right places and have QT, MingW and of course, Harbour with contribs (HBIDE). I hope the way I do is correct (please anyone correct me if wrong). Follows how it is configured in my computer with Windows XP Home. It works for me: Thanks Qatan. This type of participation is equally important as development. It helps a new entrant a lot and ease him out plus it saves a lot of time of developers to concentrate on their target.
