Applications open a DOS box - why?

George Trojan · Post by **George Trojan** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 11:37 am

Hi,
Just curious, why do the sample applications which come with Fivewin/xHarbour open a DOS box when executed?

Thanks

George Trojan

George,

What Harbour/xharbour versions/builds are you using ? And what Windows version are you using ?

With recent Harbour builds there was such error with Windows 98 only. It has been recently fixed.

Are you linking using the parameters that we specify at samples\buildh.bat ?

xHarbour build 0.99.61, the buildx.bat supplied with FW2.7; however, the applications are built using Win'98. We use '98 as many of our customers still use '98 so we develop using a '98 computer.

Thanks

George,

Please don't link GTWIN.lib and build your app again.

The only problem with that is that you get all the unresolved external mouse functions referenced from RTL.LIB

Thanks

George,

Please copy here the list of unresolved externals that you get.

Here we only get:
Unresolved external '_HB_FUN_HB_GT_WIN'

I get the same with harbour, with xharbour I get the below:

George,

This problem was fixed yesterday for Harbour and we expect to have a solution for xharbour today.

Post by **Antonio Linares** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 11:21 am

George,

Please link GTNUL.lib instead GTWIN.lib and try it again. Thanks.

George Trojan · Post by **George Trojan** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 1:03 pm

Thanks for that. Searched my drive for GTNUL.LIB, don't seem to have one. Where can I source that library.

Thanks again.

George,

What xharbour build do you use ?

George Trojan · Post by **George Trojan** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 2:51 am

Antonio,

xHarbour build 0.99.61, downloaded with FW2.7 from your server.

Thanks

Post by **Antonio Linares** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 5:52 am

George,

We are going to publish a new xharbour build this next week, with a GTGUI.lib to be used, that solves the console window issue.

Same for Harbour.

Amigo,

Lo resolví de la siguiente manera.

Eliminé la LIB GTWIN y adicioné la GTNUL.LIB

Adicioné un PRG: gtnul.prg conteniendo lo siguiente:

Code: Select all

REQUEST HB_GT_NUL
FUNCTION GTSYS
   RETURN

Funcionando sin problemas hasta ahora.

Si alguien conoce o sabe que hace la GTSYS, agradecería lo explicara.

Saludos

PD. Uso xHarbour (bajado del CVS 26-06-2006, 10:00pm) y FWH 2.7
