Luiz, parece que somos os unicos usando bcc582+harbour svn. (seems to be only two using this combination , maybe they using vc or gcc or old versions of harbour).

Norberto,
Do you get the same error when you run Harbour ?
We have no problems at all using BCC582 and Harbour from its SVN repository. You can download our builds from here:

Antonio, sorry, the error is harbour (svn - last version) and bcc582.

Norberto,
Have a look at this changelog entry
Code: Select all
2012-04-01 16:30 UTC+0200 Viktor Szakats (harbour syenar.net)
* config/win/mingw.mk
+ solved mingw harbour dll and unicows problem, so now
-shared Harbour executables built using mingw will be able
to run on Win9x, "out of the box".
(has a downside that now separate compile pass is needed
to build objects with -DHB_DYNLIB (like with all the other
C compilers), but I left it enabled anyways to give uniform
support for unicows by default, including the nightly and
official builds.)
* config/win/watcom.mk
* config/win/xcc.mk
* config/win/icc.mk
* config/win/pocc.mk
* config/win/bcc.mk
* config/win/msvc.mk
* restored to link 3rd libs (currently unicows, if available)
to harbour-*.dll with above compilers. These are currently
noops (except for bcc, where it just doesn't work),
they are fundemantally correct, but may require further
C compiler specific mods.
; TODO: problem with bcc harbour-*.dll remains. unicows is present,
specified, but ignored when linking, even though it's not ignored
when contrib dlls are built using similar method. I leave
resolving this problem to bcc users.

I know harbour its a open source project and we can not demand anything of the contributors, but breaking compatibility would be something wrong? type changed it to a compiler, and others be damned.

Norberto,
same error here. I have also reported it to the Harbour dev list.
In the meantime, you can download the most recent nightly build from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour ... s/nightly/
And copy hbpp.exe, harbour.exe and hbmk2.exe to your Harbour bin/win folder so you can build Harbour. You need to "touch" (change date-time) them so the make won't rebuild them again.
Its a temporary solution, but it may solve the problem

Norberto,
Here you have it:
http://code.google.com/p/harbour-and-xh ... p&can=2&q=
Temporarly it uses harbour.exe, hbpp.exe and hbmk2.exe from the MinGW nightly build
It seems to be working fine
