The information this document is subject to change without notice and does not represent any future commitment by the participants of the project.

How to Participate

There are several ways to help making Harbour better:

  • You can give feedback/suggestions to developers on available channels, see Harbour Links.

  • Submit a change:

    1. Fork Harbour
    2. Create a branch: git checkout -b my_mod
    3. Do commit pre-check and new log entry: hbrun bin/commit
    4. Commit your changes: git commit -am "Added my feature"
    5. Push to the branch: git push origin my_mod
    6. Open a Pull Request

  • Always use the same coding/formatting style as you find in the files you're modifying. The easiest way to achieve this is to use these commands to format the sources:

      $ uncrustify -c <harbour_dir>/bin/harbour.ucf <source(.c|.h)>
  $ <harbour_dir>/bin/hbformat <source(.prg|.hb|.ch)>

  • Text editor setting for Harbour files

    • Encoding is either 7-bit ASCII or UTF-8 (without BOM)
    • Always use spaces, never tabs
    • Remove trailing spaces from lines
    • Always keep one (not zero or multiple) newline at the end of file
    • Use platform native newline (CRLF or LF)

  • In the rare case you need to send something large (> 100KB), use this free service.

  • Of course, there is more into Harbour contribution than writing code, so you're welcome to do so in other areas like documentation, helping fellow users, giving input on decisions, testing in various environments, volunteering in administration tasks, etc.

  • Participate in localization:

How to Build

Before reporting a problem to developers, make sure to read Troubleshooting and try the suggestions you find there.

For all platforms you'll need:

  • Supported ANSI C compiler
  • GNU Make (3.81 recommended, minimum 3.79 required, see also platform details)
  • Harbour sources (2.0.0 or upper)

on Windows hosts (possible cross-build targets: Windows CE, MS-DOS, OS/2, Linux)

Platform specific prerequisites:

  1. Windows XP or upper system is recommended to build Harbour.
  2. Make sure to have your C compiler of choice properly installed in PATH. Refer to your C compiler installation and setup instructions for details. It's recommended to make sure no tools in your PATH belonging to other C compilers are interfering with your setup. It's also highly discouraged to keep multiple copies of the same compiler, or different versions of the same compiler in PATH at the same time. For the list of supported compilers, look up Supported Platforms and C Compilers.
  3. GNU Make 3.81 or upper is required. A copy of this tool is included in all Harbour packages, so you don't have to do anything. If you want to get it separately, you can find it here Unpack it to your PATH or Harbour source root directory, and run it as mingw32-make.

To build:

> win-make [install]

To test it, type:

> cd tests
> ..\bin\hbmk2 hello.prg
> hello

You should see Hello, world! on screen.

on Windows hosts with POSIX shells (MSYS/Cygwin)

Though you can use these alternative shells to build Harbour on Windows, it's generally recommended to use the native one.

To build:

> sh -c make [install]

To test it, type:

> cd tests
> ..\bin\hbmk2 hello.prg
> hello

You should see Hello, world! on screen.

When building for Borland C++ make sure that GNU Make is executed when typing make, Borland Make has the same name.

on MS-DOS hosts (possible cross-build targets: Windows, OS/2, Linux)

Make sure to have your C compiler of choice properly installed in PATH.

To build:

> dos-make [install]

To test it, type:

> cd tests
> ..\bin\hbmk2 hello.prg
> hello

You should see Hello, world! on screen.

on OS/2 hosts (possible cross-build targets: MS-DOS, OS/2, Linux)

To build:

> os2-make [install]

To test it, type:

> cd tests
> ..\bin\hbmk2 hello.prg
> hello

You should see Hello, world! on screen.

on Linux hosts (possible cross-build targets: Windows, Windows CE, MS-DOS, OS/2)

To build:

$ make [install] [HB_PLATFORM=<...>]

To test it, type:

$ cd tests
$ hbmk2 hello.prg
$ ./hello

You should see Hello, world! on screen.

on Darwin (OS X) hosts (possible cross-build targets: Windows, Windows CE, MS-DOS)

Platform specific prerequisite: Xcode or Command Line Tools for Xcode installed

To build:

$ make [install] [HB_PLATFORM=<...>]

To test it, type:

$ cd tests
$ hbmk2 hello.prg
$ ./hello

You should see Hello, world! on screen.

You can override default (host) architecture by adding values below to HB_USER_CFLAGS, HB_USER_LDFLAGS envvars, you can use multiple values:

Intel 32-bit: -arch i386
Intel 64-bit: -arch x86_64
PPC 32-bit: -arch ppc
PPC 64-bit: -arch ppc64

on FreeBSD hosts

Platform specific prerequisites:

  1. You'll need to have the developer tools installed.

  2. Then you'll need to install gmake and optionally bison. If you installed the ports collection, then all you need to do to install bison and gmake is to run the following commands, which may require that you run su root first to get the correct permissions:

     $ cd /usr/ports/devel/gmake
 $ make
 $ make install
 $ make clean
 $ cd /usr/ports/devel/bison
 $ make
 $ make install
 $ make clean

To build:

$ gmake install

To test it, type:

$ cd tests
$ hbmk2 hello.prg
$ ./hello

You should see Hello, world! on screen.

on Minix hosts

Install GNU make from the Minix pkgsrc repository; for details see here.

Optionally, GCC may also be installed if you wish to use that instead of Clang, the Minix system compiler.

on other *nix hosts (possible cross-build targets: Windows, Windows CE, MS-DOS)

To build:

$ gmake [install] [HB_PLATFORM=<...>]

Or

$ make [install] [HB_PLATFORM=<...>]

To test it, type:

$ cd tests
$ hbmk2 hello.prg
$ ./hello

You should see Hello, world! on screen.

For sunpro on Solaris:
If you have any GNU binutils stuff installed, do make sure /usr/ccs/bin (the location of the native Sun C compilation system tools) come before the GNU binutils components in your $PATH.

How to Do a Partial Build

If you want to build only a specific part of Harbour, like one core library or all core libraries, or all contrib packages, you have to do everything the same way as for a full build, the only difference is that you first have to go into the specific source directory you want to build. When starting GNU Make, all components under that dir will be built:

cd src/rtl
<make> [clean] [install]

If you want to rebuild one specific contrib package, use this:

cd contrib
hbmk2 make.hb <name> [clean] [custom hbmk2 options]

How to Create Distributable Packages

Source .tgz on *nix

$ package/mpkg_src.sh

Binary .tgz on *nix

$ export HB_BUILD_PKG=yes

for Windows:

$ package/mpkg_rpm_win.sh

for Windows CE:

$ package/mpkg_rpm_wce.sh

Binary .zip and .exe on Windows for all targets (except Linux)

$ set HB_DIR_NSIS=%ProgramFiles%\NSIS\
$ set HB_DIR_ZIP=C:\info-zip\
$ set HB_BUILD_PKG=yes

Then run build as usual with clean install options. See: How to Build

Binary .zip on MS-DOS for all targets (except Linux)

$ set HB_DIR_ZIP=C:\info-zip\
$ set HB_BUILD_PKG=yes

Then run build as usual with clean install options. See: How to Build

Unified .7z and .exe installer for Windows

$ package\winuni\mpkg_win_uni.bat

Carefully read in-file instructions and do the necessary steps before calling the script.

How to Enable Optional Components

Certain Harbour parts – typically contrib packages – depend on 3rd party components. To make these Harbour parts built,you need to tell Harbour where to find the headers for these 3rd party components.

On *nix systems most of these 3rd party components will automatically be picked up if installed on well-known standard system locations.

You only need to use manual setup if the dependency isn't available on your platform on a system location, or you wish to use a non-standard location. Typically you need to do this on non-*nix (Windows, MS-DOS, OS/2) systems for all packages and for a few packages on *nix which aren't available through official package managers (f.e. ADS Client).

Note that Harbour is tuned to use 3rd party binary packages in their default, unmodified – "vanilla" – install layout created by their official/mainstream install kits. If you manually move, rename, delete or add files under the 3rd party packages' root directory, the default Harbour build process (especially Windows implib generation) might not work as expected.

You can set these environment variables before starting the build. Make sure to adjust them to your own directories:

HB_WITH_ADS=C:\ads\acesdk
HB_WITH_ALLEGRO=C:\allegro\include
HB_WITH_BLAT=C:\blat\full\source
HB_WITH_BZIP2=C:\bzip2 (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_CAIRO=C:\cairo\include\cairo
HB_WITH_CUPS= (on *nix only)
HB_WITH_CURL=C:\curl\include
HB_WITH_CURSES= (on *nix systems and DJGPP, where it's autodetected)
HB_WITH_EXPAT=C:\expat\lib (defaults to locally hosted version)
HB_WITH_FIREBIRD=C:\Firebird\include
HB_WITH_FREEIMAGE=C:\FreeImage\Dist
HB_WITH_GD=C:\gd\include
HB_WITH_GPM= (on Linux only)
HB_WITH_GS=C:\ghostscript-9.01\psi
HB_WITH_GS_BIN=C:\ghostscript-9.01\bin (on Windows)
HB_WITH_JPEG=C:\jpeglib (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_LIBHARU=C:\libharu\include (defaults to locally hosted version)
HB_WITH_LIBMAGIC= (currently on *nix systems)
HB_WITH_LZF=C:\liblzf (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_MINILZO=C:\minilzo\ (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_MINIZIP=C:\zlib\contrib\minizip (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_MXML=C:\minixml (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_MYSQL=C:\mysql\include
HB_WITH_OCILIB=C:\ocilib\include
HB_WITH_ODBC= (may only be needed on non-Windows systems)
HB_WITH_OPENSSL=C:\openssl\inc32 OR C:\openssl\include
HB_WITH_PCRE=C:\pcre (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_PGSQL=C:\pgsql\include
HB_WITH_PNG=C:\libpng (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_QT=C:\Qt\include (version 4.5.0 or upper is required)
HB_WITH_SLANG= (on *nix systems)
HB_WITH_SQLITE3=C:\sqlite3 (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_TINYMT=C:\tinymt\tinymt (defaults to locally hosted version)
HB_WITH_WATT= (on MS-DOS systems)
HB_WITH_X11= (on *nix systems)
HB_WITH_XDIFF=C:\libxdiff-0.23\xdiff (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_ZLIB=C:\zlib (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)

To explicitly disable any given components, use the value no. This may be useful to avoid autodetection of installed packages on *nix systems. You may also use the value local to force using the locally hosted copy (inside Harbour source repository) of these packages, where applicable. nolocal will explicitly disable using locally hosted copy.

You can override autodetection of QT 'moc' tool by using HB_QTPATH and optionally HB_QTPOSTFIX envvars. This may only be necessary on some *nix systems. F.e.:

HB_QTPATH=/opt/qt5/bin/ HB_QTPOSTFIX=

Certain contribs can be instructed – when using .hbc files – to link against static build of their 3rd party lib dependencies (for advanced users only):

HB_STATIC_ALLEGRO=yes
HB_STATIC_CURL=yes
HB_STATIC_OPENSSL=yes

NOTES:

  • you need to use native path format to your shell/OS
  • spaces in directory names aren't currently supported (you can use 8.3 name alias on Windows platform, though)
  • don't put directory names inside double quotes
  • use absolute paths

  • Check this for more

  • On openSUSE, if you want to build 32-bit Harbour on a 64-bit host, install above packages with -32bit appended to their names, f.e. slang-devel-32bit

OpenSolaris

$ pkg install SUNWgit SUNWgcc SUNWgmake

FreeBSD

If you want to use the gtsln library instead of gtstd or gtcrs, then you also need to install libslang. If you installed the ports collection, then all you need to do to install libslang is to run the following commands, which may require that you run su first to get the correct permissions:

$ cd /usr/ports/devel/libslang
$ make
$ make install
$ make clean

Build Options

You can fine-tune Harbour builds with below listed environment variables. You can add most of these via the GNU Make command line also, using make VARNAME=value syntax. All of these settings are optional and all settings are case sensitive.

General

  • HB_INSTALL_PREFIX

    Target root directory to install Harbour files. On *nix systems the default is set to /usr/local/ or $(PREFIX) if specified, and /usr/local/harbour-<arch>-<comp> for cross-builds. It's always set to ./pkg/<arch>/<comp> when HB_BUILD_PKG is set to yes. On non-*nix systems, you must set it to a valid directory when using install. Use absolute paths only. For a peace of mind, avoid using spaces and quotes in the name. You have to use path format native to your shell. F.e. to specify C:\dir on Windows, with Cygwin you should use /cygdrive/c/dir, with MSYS /c/dir.

  • HB_USER_PRGFLAGS User Harbour compiler options

  • HB_USER_CFLAGS User C compiler options

  • HB_USER_RESFLAGS User resource compiler options (on win, wce, os2)

  • HB_USER_LDFLAGS User linker options for executables

  • HB_USER_AFLAGS User linker options for libraries

  • HB_USER_DFLAGS User linker options for dynamic libraries

Set these only if autodetection doesn't suit your purpose:

  • HB_PLATFORM Override platform autodetection

  • HB_COMPILER Override C compiler autodetection

    See this for possible values: Supported Platforms and C Compilers See also: HB_CC* settings.

Special

  • HB_BUILD_NAME=[<name>]

    Create named build. This allows to keep multiple builds in parallel for any given platform/compiler. F.e. debug / release.

    In current implementation it's appended to compiler directory name, so all filesystem/platform name rules and limits apply. (Back)slashes will be stripped from the name though.

  • HB_BUILD_PKG=yes

    Create release package. Default: no Requires clean install in root source dir.

  • HB_BUILD_DYN=no

    Create Harbour dynamic libraries. Default: yes

  • HB_BUILD_CONTRIB_DYN=no

    Create contrib dynamic libraries. Default: yes

  • HB_BUILD_SHARED=yes

    Create Harbour executables in shared mode. Default: yes when HB_INSTALL_PREFIX points to a *nix system location, otherwise no.

  • HB_BUILD_DEBUG=yes

    Create a debug build. Default: no

  • HB_BUILD_STRIP=[all|bin|lib|no]

    Strip symbols and debug information from binaries. Default: no

  • HB_BUILD_OPTIM=no

    Enable C compiler optimizations. Default: yes

  • HB_BUILD_MODE=[cpp|c]

    Change default build mode to C++ or C. Default: c, except for msvc* compilers, where it's cpp.

  • HB_BUILD_PARTS=[all|compiler|lib]

    Build only specific part of Harbour.

  • HB_BUILD_NOGPLLIB=yes

    Disable components dependent on GPL 3rd party code, to allow Harbour for commercial (closed source) projects. Default: no

  • HB_BUILD_3RDEXT=no

    Enable autodetection of 3rd party components on default system locations. Default: yes

  • HB_BUILD_CONTRIBS=no [<l>]

    Don't build any, or space separated <l> list of, contrib packages. Please note it won't prevent building packages which are dependencies of other – enabled – packages.

  • HB_BUILD_CONTRIBS=[<l>]

    Build space separated <l> list of contrib libraries. Build all if left empty (default).

  • HB_BUILD_ADDONS=<l>

    Build space separated list of additional .hbp projects.

  • HB_COMPILER_VER=[<ver>]

    Set C compiler version. This is used with win/msvc, win/mingw and cygwin/gcc targets currently. <ver> format:

    <15><0>[<0>] = <major><minor>[.<revision>]

    Default: filled by compiler autodetection or empty

  • HB_USER_LIBS=[<list>]

    Add space separated <list> of libs to link process. Lib names should be without extension and path. You only need this in special cases, like CodeGuard build with win/bcc.

  • HB_INSTALL_IMPLIB=no

    Copy import libraries created for external .dll dependencies to the library install directory in install build phase. Default: yes For Windows/OS/2 targets only. Please note that this feature doesn't work with all possible binary distributions of 3rd party packages. We test only the official/mainstream ones. Also note that the generated implibs will require .dlls compatible with the ones used at build time.

  • HB_INSTALL_3RDDYN=yes

    Copy dynamic libraries of external .dll dependencies to the dynamic library directory in install build phase. Default: no

  • HB_SRC_ROOTPATH=<dir>

    When using GNU Make older than 3.81, you shall set the root directory of Harbour source tree as an absolute path. If not set, some build functionality may fail, like detection of 3rd party packages with locally hosted sources. With newer make versions, this variable is ignored.

  • HB_REBUILD_EXTERN=yes

    Rebuild extern headers. This is typically used by developers after code modifications or before release. Default: no

  • HB_REBUILD_PARSER=yes

    Rebuild language parser sources. Typically you only need this if your are Harbour core developer modifying grammar rules (.y). Requires GNU Bison 1.28 or upper in PATH. Default: no

  • HB_CCPATH=[<dir>/]

    Used with non-*nix gcc family compilers (and sunpro) to specify path to compiler/linker/archive tool to help them run from *nix hosts as cross-build tools. Ending slash must be added.

  • HB_CCPREFIX=[<prefix>]

    Used with gcc compiler family to specify compiler/linker/archive tool name prefix.

  • HB_CCSUFFIX=[<suffix>]

    Used with gcc compiler family to specify compiler/linker tool name suffix – usually version number.

Cross-building

You can build Harbour for target platforms different than host platform. F.e. you can create Windows build on *nix systems, Linux builds on Windows systems, etc. It's also possible to build targets for different than host CPU architectures. F.e. you can create Windows 64-bit build on 32-bit Windows platform, or Linux x86-64 build on x86 hosts, or Linux MIPS build on x86 host, etc.

Point this envvar to the directory where native Harbour executables for your host platform can be found:

  HB_HOST_BIN=<harbour_native_build_dir>\bin

If you leave this value empty, the make system will try to autodetect it, so in practice all you have to do is to create a native build first (no install required), then create the cross-build. If you set this value manually, it may be useful to know that harbour, hbpp and hbmk2 executables are required for a cross-build process to succeed.

Build Your Own Harbour App

For all platforms you'll need two things:

  • Harbour binaries

    Either a Harbour binary distribution or a local Harbour build will be okay. If you're reading this text, it's very likely you have one of these already.

  • Supported ANSI C compiler

    Your compiler of choice has to be placed in the PATH – and configured appropriately according to instructions. If you use official Harbour binary distribution on Windows, you already have MinGW compiler embedded in the installation, which will automatically be used, so you don't have to make any extra steps here.

Use hbmk2 to build your app from source. It's recommended to put it in the PATH (f.e. by using set PATH=C:\harbour\bin;%PATH% on Windows).

See hbmk2 documentation, with examples.

Debugging Options

Tracing

Build Harbour with:

HB_BUILD_DEBUG=yes

Run app with:

HB_TR_LEVEL=debug
# to override default stderr output:
HB_TR_OUTPUT=<filename>
# to enable additional system specific logging output,
# OutputDebugString() on Windows, syslog() on *nix systems:
HB_TR_SYSOUT=yes

Memory statistics/tracking

Build Harbour with:

HB_USER_CFLAGS=-DHB_FM_STATISTICS

Valgrind (on linux and darwin targets)

Build Harbour with:

HB_BUILD_DEBUG=yes

Build app with:

$ hbmk2 myapp -debug

Run app with:

$ valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes --num-callers=16 -v ./myapp 2> myapp.log

CodeGuard (on win/bcc target only)

Build Harbour with:

HB_USER_CFLAGS=-vG
HB_USER_LIBS=cg32

Harbour Debugger

Build app with:

$ hbmk2 myapp -b -run

or run script with:

$ hbrun myapp --hb:debug

Press <Alt+D> in the app.

Troubleshooting

Always evaluate these points before reporting an issue on the developers' mailing list.

  1. Make sure to have carefully read this document.

  2. Make sure to do a make clean before doing a build after refreshing the sources.

  3. If that still fails, make sure to install fresh source tree in a new local directory and start over. See How to Get for instructions to get the source. In case you installed Harbour into system locations (this used to be the case with some *nix users, albeit mostly completely unnecessarily or wrongly - f.e. for unstable versions), you will need to remember cleaning off Harbour from all of these locations, too. Advice: Never install unstable Harbour versions to system locations.

  4. If you are doing a cross-build, make sure to have rebuilt the native Harbour executables for your host platform. See HB_HOST_BIN build messages to find their location.

  5. Keep your PATH clean from old, mixed compiler tools or other Harbour versions when building Harbour. The surest way to achieve this is to leave only C compiler directory in PATH:

    set PATH=C:\<c_compiler_bin_dir>

    If you use Harbour official binary distro on Windows, even above is unnecessary and not recommended.

  6. Remove all old, unnecessary environment variables (for both Harbour and C compiler) from your environment. Also remove any custom settings for your C compiler. Use only those documented in this file. Follows some environment variable settings which are commonly believed by users to be useful, but which in reality are either not needed or not even used by Harbour build process and hbmk2.

  7. Remove any Harbour build settings documented in Build Options.

  8. Try to do no or only small modifications at once to examples included in Build Examples. If it doesn't work, fall back to documented examples as is.

  9. If everything fails and you are to report a build problem to Harbour developers, make sure to include your OS version/language/CPU architecture, Harbour revision, C compiler name/release and version, environment variables and verbose log output containing both stderr and stdout in one combined stream (use make > log.txt 2>&1). Enable verbose mode using HB_BUILD_VERBOSE=yes. Complete log output is rarely necessary, but always make sure to include the top of the output (lines starting with !) and the area where problematic behavior occurred first. Make sure to not only include a link failure or a make tool failure, as it's most of the time not enough information. Compress your log using zip if it is larger than 25KB. (use the extension .zip) With these, you have much better chance to get useful or any response.

  10. Do not alter the directory layout and files in Harbour and 3rd party packages.

  11. If you are to report a build problem with a Harbour application, all of the above points apply, plus make sure to use -trace command line option when running hbmk2 and redirect the result to a file (see above how). It's good idea to first remove all manual references to Harbour core components from makefiles and custom environment. F.e. it's commom mistake to add C compiler header and/or lib dirs, Harbour core header and/or lib dirs, built-in constants to makefiles or environment. No such thing is necessary as all of these are automatically handled by hbmk2. IOW start simple and don't be overbusy with fine-tuning your configuration. If you need to, the problem is most probably elsewhere. It's also good idea to try with Harbour nightly binary or official stable release first.

  12. If you are to report a problem with Harbour itself, always provide self-contained, minimal source code example. Do not use xhb contrib library, or any 3rd party Harbour libraries. The example shall reproduce the problem using official stable or nightly Harbour build. Do not post executables and other binary files. If your source contains non-ASCII (national, accented, special) chars, clearly mark the codepage/encoding used (UTF-8 recommended) and attach the files compressed with zip. (use the extension .zip)
    See more on self-contained examples: http://sscce.org/

  13. If your example involves compatibility components, make sure to test it against original implementation (for example, test legacy Clipper core language elements against real CA-Clipper 5.2e or 5.3b, or hbct functions against CT3 library, etc)
