Just tried again and got:

The requested URL /free/9376/xHarbour-v1.21.9376-for-BorlandC_v5.5.exe
was not found on this server.

Patrice,

Why don´t you use xHarbour.org?

(www.whosaway.com Password: XHB)


Now they updated to BCC 5.82 .

xHarbour.com is built using Pelles and the company is doing a low profile: Visual xHarbour is still under beta status and as you can read here, support on SQLRDD is not very good.

I use xHarbour.org without any problem from cvs or whosaway.

Hello,

And so many people are using BCC...

Not true. The VXH that comes with xHarbour Builder is a real release. Yes, we ALSO DO have a VXH beta build available for our users if they want.

> support on SQLRDD is not very good.
Why do you say that?
Maybe because of Lucas's issues? As you must have seen, it was not a SQLRDD bug.
Do you know of other open SQLRDD bugs? We are happy to receive a reduced sample so we can fix it. Thanks!

And I'm happy for you it works OK. ;-)

There are very important post regarding BCC 5.5 at Harbour. It has more than 11 years. Many rain since them.

Also, xHarbour.com does not produce 64 bits executables.

I never was able to find at the site. In fact, the info at your web is still the same in the past 4-5 years.


Also, every day at Fivewin´s forums I see how existing xHarbour.com customers are moving to Harbour. Very strong supporters like Timm Stone has justmoved into Harbour and MSVC

See Elvira, Gilbert, etc. It is very funny when you reply to Lucas that youcan´t test with Fivewin and it is Linares fault.

Next time I don´t want to resolve a support issue, I will say to my customer: sorry, I can´t test under Windows 7, I only can test on my own systems. Here works perfect, the fault is yours. Thanks a lot .

Hi,

I want to put xHarbour on my new computer.
I remember that the installer on free.xharbour was installing every
thing including the compiler with all the settings.
Was very nice for a new install.

Indeed, the installer for BCC 5.82 would be very nice.
Indeed a yearly update on free.xharbour and souceforge would be very
nice too.

But since i am not the one doing the work, I don't conplain too much.

I agree, free.xHarbour is still on of the best installer.
I also like the included project manager xBuild and xBuildW.
Very simple for no prof. user of xHarbour.

Until yet I didn't test BCC 5.82. But it would be nice I a BCC "guru"
will tell me the differences and advantages.

Honestly, I didn't see any differences. The only difference that can prove
to be important is that BCC 5.82 is more recent than BCC 5.5 so it "could"
support newer system features.

First you say that using PellesC is not good because of "the company doing low profile". So, than I reply that BCC is ALSO from a company that is "doing low profile" ;-)
Its not because a company is out of the main picture that the compiler suddenly becomes bad ;-)

> Also, xHarbour.com does not produce 64 bits executables.
Correct. Whats your point?

I'm sorry you could not find this info on our site. I will try to look at it and make it more clear.

And I also see Harbour users come to xHarbour.com. Yes, the [x]Harbour community LIVES. Thats a GOOD sign for all of us no? ;-)

Where did I say i can not test it with FiveWIn. I simply showed Lucas that the GPF does NOT occur with plain xHarbour. What more can I do for a DEMO user?? Remember, Lucas is not a paying customer, he is still looking into SQLRDD.

See above ;-))

Why does the installer need to be updated? It was working. The link just doesn't work anymore.

Patrice,

Just go to whosaway. You can download and unzip xHarbour and BCC5.5.

Then, go to bin\bld.bat


xHarbour.com is a scam. It offers unfinished products at a very expensive price and no support. They are loosing customers every day and no one is intereted in a compiler produced by Pelles with an unfinished GUI and no support for 64 bits.


Even the page is not updated and links are broken, as the company.


Just run away from them.


They should close soon so as not to scam new customers.
