Convert DOS application(s) to Harbour <== LIB compatibility

Hello!
We want to convert our existing DOS application(s) to Harbour. What is going to be our damage -which libraries, we use, are not compatible-
CA-Clipper (R) 5.3b (Rev. 338)
RMAKE 1.5
BLINKER DOS Extender and Windows Linker 7.00

BLINKER overlay opsize 50
BLINKER overlay pageframe ON

Please let us how much re-coding would be necessary… for example is the ProHP lib compatible?
Thanks in advantage.

No Clipper 16 bit library is compatible with [x]Harbour (32 bit). Try to remove all the third party libraries from the script, look at the unresolved external that linker will list and report them here.

Hi Enrico,
thank you for the prompt reply.
We haven't purchased any software yet, because I want to know first what I am looking at (a lot of recode, impossible mission)
I tried HMG a while ago and encountered a lot of problems when trying to convert the Clipper app to 32/64 bits. The biggest issue I had was that the ProHP library wasn't compatible.

You don't need to buy anything. Harbour or xHarbour are free opensource projects.

LF_ISFILE try using FILE
'LF_FERASE try using FERASE
LF_FCREATE try using FCREATE
HP_SETPOS sorry I don't know the HP* functions
FT_LDAY
FT_MADD you can rewrite them using standard Clipper functions
OL_WINCBPA unknown
OL_WINCBCO unknown
LF_LIBVERS can't you remove it?
LL_LIBVERS can't you remove it?
LF_FRENAME try using FRENAME
LF_DIRECTO try using DIRECTORY
OL_YIELD not required
FT_PUTKEY try using KEYBOARD

LF_ is used in LIB Ll and LIB Lfn and is a good library for using long filenames when creating PDF or other files (csv for example). So not bounded to 8 characters when creating a file name.

Oke, I am a newbee with Harbour... what to do if I am used to create Clipper app with rmake (*.rmk file) and blinker (*.lnk file) How to do it with Harbour?

It depends on the C compiler you are using.

I downloaded harbour-3.0.0-win.exe, so that makes the MinGW compiler.
Re: Convert DOS application(s) to Harbour <== LIB compatibility

So you have to look at the MinGW docs. I suggest to use a simple batch (COMPILE.BAT) that:
- set Harbour include directory
- compile any single PRG using HARBOUR.EXE
- compile any single C using MinGW
- link all the OBJs (or whatever extension for object files) using the linker of MinGW

It is our ProHP-Laser printer library, which we bought for print capabilities with our HP printers... yeaaaaaars ago.
