cross-compiling on Linux to Win32/64 target

[efa]

hi, I downloaded the nightly: harbour-nightly-win.7z | 2022-10-17 and extracted to /home/efa/c/harbour_win32

I'm using this script to cross-build:

if (test "" = "$1") then
   echo ERROR: harbour need a PRG file name
   echo "Syntax: $ harbour <source.prg> [win [32]]|[mac [arm]]"
   exit
fi

deps="hbct.hbc xhb.hbc"
if (test "$2" = "win") then
   # set env vars for mingw ...
   if (test "$3" = "32") then
      echo "Cross-building for Win32 ..."
      export HOST=i686-w64-mingw32
   else
      echo "Cross-building for Win64 ..."
      export HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32
   fi
   export CROSS=${HOST}-
   export CC=${CROSS}gcc

   # set env vars for harbour ...
   export HB_WITH_CURSES=no

   if (test "$3" = "32") then
      export HB_COMPILER=mingw # or mingw, clang
      export HB_CPU=x86
   fi
   export HB_HOST_BIN=$HOME/c/harbour-core/bin/linux/gcc

$HOME/c/harbour-core/bin/linux/gcc/hbmk2 -workdir=. -inc $1 $deps

while build to Win32 work:

Is the nightly package 32 bit only?

[lailton]

### Why your command line show it: /home/efa/c/harbour_win32/lib/win/mingw/libhbct.a

Should be: /home/efa/c/harbour_win32/lib/win/mingw64/libhbct.a

Probably something wrong with the path, but I can be wrong.

[efa]

there is no mingw64 directory in the Sourceforge 7zip nightly package:

~/c/harbour_win32/lib$ tree -d
.
└── win
    └── mingw

2 directories

Those links are the right ones: https://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/files/binaries-windows/3.0.0/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/files/binaries-windows/nightly/ ?

[lailton]

In order to build to 64bits you need to have the libraries for 64bits too.

( the way is exactly the same you did to construct the binaries and libraries for 32 ).

[efa]

sorry, I didn't explained me well. I do not have Windows, I'm using Linux and want cross-compile to Windows. For 32 bit I simply downloaded the already built 7zip win package available at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/files/binaries-windows/nightly/ Does exist a 64 bit Win version?

[lailton]

You can build it by yourself.

#!/bin/bash

export HB_PLATFORM="win"
export HB_CCPREFIX="/usr/local/mingw/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-"
export HB_INSTALL_PREFIX="/Developer/harbour/"
export HB_HOST_BIN="/Developer/harbour/bin"
export HB_COMPILER="mingw64"
export HB_BUILD_CONTRIBS=

export HB_WITH_PCRE=local
export HB_WITH_ZLIB=local
export HB_WITH_BZIP2=local
export HB_WITH_JPEG=local
export HB_WITH_PNG=local
export HB_WITH_TIFF=local
export HB_WITH_LIBHARU=local
export HB_WITH_SQLITE3=local

PATH=/usr/local/mingw/bin/:$PATH

Long time ago I had used it, adjust to your path and then:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/harbour/core.git harbour
cd harbour
make

after that you should have the binaries and libraries for 64bits.

[efa]

does exist a pre-built binaries for Win64?

[lailton]

I don't think so.

[lailton]

Try this one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uZzhOoPm8fazSEQfLsJmxl-qEYh_5JM4/view?usp=share_link

[efa]

thank you for the package, I will try that!

[fperillo]

Hi, the nightly build is 32 bit only.

If I remember correctly, the build runs on a 32 bit old windows server 2003...
