Hi,
Today I've tried to build xHarbour basing on GIT respsitory. Till now I'mn usig SVN xHarbour.org with HWGUI and RDDSQL commercial lib. Copiled with BCC58.
I can't build with BCC58 becouse of error mentioned earlier by Pere Cordonet.
Eventually I used bcc77 and succesfully built core. But failed building contribs:

I found this propably needs math.h from xHarbourBuilder.

So my questions are:
Is it possible to build with any Borland compilers?
if not, what openssource compiler will be best to build xHarbour, xHarbourBuilder, SQLRDD and HWGUI. Or I'll will have to buy commercian one ?
Thanks in advance

Please, add this at the end of BCC32 include\windows\crtl\math.h:

#define modff( f, i ) ( float ) modf( f, ( double * ) i )

Just after this line:

#endif /* !defined(__clang__) */

Then retry and let me know.

Never mind. I found it thanks to the wayback machine.

Is this the error you are referring to?

Error E2141 harboury.c 4545: Declaration syntax error in function
hb_comp_yyparse

Please confirm.

Hi Andrzej

1. Yes I am able to build xHarbour with contribs using the FREE
Embarcadero C++ 7.30. You can use it without ay setup by just calling
make_bc.bat if installed to the default locattion \bcc102.

2. I am currently working on setup of MingW CLang - I believe this will
be the best settup. Another serious contender on Windows is the FREE
(but not open source) VS 2022 Community Edition.

Using bcc32c.exe or bcc32.exe? Please try bcc32c.exe which is the
default and auto dettected if you do NOT set any environment variables.

Enrico,

I highly discourage the practice of modifying compiler's header file. It
is indeed a very odd bug for bcc 7.70. I assume this is ttrue ONLY for
bcc32.exe since bcc32c.exe compiles all fine even with earlier version
7.30.

Either way, instead of modifying the system header you may add such a
define with a -D user flag. Also this should be reported to Embarcadero.

I don't understand. I just tried with BCC32 7.30 and got the usual:

Warning W8065 contrib\hbhpdf\hpdf_utils.c 219: Call to function 'modff'
with no prototype in function HPDF_FToA
Warning W8065 contrib\hbhpdf\hpdf_utils.c 223: Call to function 'modff'
with no prototype in function HPDF_FToA
Warning W8065 contrib\hbhpdf\hpdf_utils.c 238: Call to function 'modff'
with no prototype in function HPDF_FToA

This is my commands:

SET CC_DIR=e:\fw\temp\bcc73
make_bc all

And there is no definition of modff in math.h of BCC32 7.30.

Interesting. How?

> Also this should be reported to Embarcadero.

I'm not interested, sorry. It seems that this bug is there since BCC32
7.20 if not earlier.

My unmodified official Embarcadero 7.30 downloaded directly from
Embarcadero has include\windows\crtl math.h with line 173:

#if defined(__clang__)
float _EXPFUNC acosf(float);
float _EXPFUNC asinf(float);
float _EXPFUNC atanf(float);
float _EXPFUNC coshf(float);
float _EXPFUNC fabsf(float);
float _EXPFUNC fmodf(float, float);
float _EXPFUNC frexpf(float, int *);
float _EXPFUNC hypotf(float, float);
float _EXPFUNC log10f(float);
float _EXPFUNC modff(float, float *);

Let's first find out why you have an error that you should not have.

Here is what my \bcc102\bin\bcc32c.exe say:

Z:\GitHub\xharbour>\BCC102\bin\bcc32c.exe
Embarcadero C++ 7.30 for Win32 Copyright (c) 2012-2017 Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.

Mine too. But it is only for CLANG flavour. We are speaking about BCC32
(not CLANG).

The error is expected, since there is no definition for modff.

This is bcc32c.exe. The problem is with bcc32.exe.

But there is no bcc32.exe in official Embarcadero 7.30!

But it IS in the commercial version! Sorry, Ron, we have already
discussed of this argument. We should support any BCC version, as long
as it is used and it is possible. Don't you agree?

I am not interested in any argument Enrico, I responded to clarify
because you said 7.30.

Legacy BCC can not compile the parser generated by latest bison, but
CAN compile parser generated by older Bison. Users of BCC55 and
posssibly all later legacy bcc32.exe can compile xHarbour if they
install win_flex_bison:

https://github.com/lexxmark/winflexbison/releases/tag/v2.5.16

and set HB_USE_BISON=1

I am currently testing later version to see which is the latest that
works and will post a revised find_bison.bat asap.

Support for winflexbison 2.5.16 is ready - user should unzip to default
folder name under \ of xHarbour srive or C:, and set HB_USE_BISON=1

Tested to build core correctly with BCC 5.5

Sorry, wrong term. No "argument" but "subject". Anyway, the fact is that
bcc32.exe 7.30 does exist and we should support it.
