  • How to use PellesC 64 bit

    From Gian Luca Doria@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 12 07:11:13 2021
    I have been using xHarbour for years to build 32-bit console applications.

    I would like to compile them now in 64 bit and I was thinking of using PellesC.

    I downloaded the binars ready for PellesC from the xharbour.org site but since the BLD.BAT there is no trace of PellesC nor of the possibility to compile in 64 bit.

    I have always used HBMAKE to compile. My software consists of 174 PRGs at the moment and therefore I need a make tool.

    Can someone help me please?

    Why not using BCC 7.30 64-bit? I made some test with FWH and found it
    working fine.

    Thankyou!

    I want to try PellesC because BCC 7.30 64 bit is "evaluation only".

    In http://xharbour.org/index.asp?page=download/windows/required_win I found only this to download http://www.xharbour.org/files/download/windows/bcc73064.zip

    Ok, so I can't help you as I never used PellesC.

    In http://xharbour.org/index.asp?page=download/windows/required_win I found only this to download http://www.xharbour.org/files/download/windows/bcc73064.zip

    Please download PellesC from their official website:

    IIRC the last free version was 5.82 (or 6.9?), anyway BCC seems to be abandonware now. Borland was acquired by Embarcadero that published the
    C compiler version 10... then Embarcadero, too, vanished from the
    radar... Has someone any information?

    Don is right

    The embarcadero C++ in version 7.6 is free, but only to do build 32 bit applications (https://www.embarcadero.com/free-tools/ccompiler), but the Pelles C is free for all use (private and commercial), and it compiles sources to 32 and 64-bit applications.

    In my opinion, a project xHarbour should migrate to the environment Pelles C, not only to old BCC 5.5 (or 7.6) with poor end user license, who wants to develop the application and make money on it.

    The Pelles C is better tools, has good help, has better resources compiler. I compile for my clients the application in Pelles C 8.0 and no have any problems.

    With Regards
    Jacek K.

    Pelles C had math problems. Don't know if it still does.

    Please, can you tell me where to find BCC 7.6? The latest version I know
    is 7.4.

    Not possible. We need C++ for some modules and PellesC is only C (not
    C++), as far as I know.
