Re: Compiling a .prg into an .exe file

Hi guys,
Unfortunately I can not post on the newsgroups but I was hoping someone
could advise me on what I need to do after downloading and configuring
Borland free compiler (ilink.cfg and bcc55.cfg files done) and the
xharbour program, I added this path to the bcc55.cfg file
(-I"C:\xharbour\include") so borland can access the harbour
libraries...is this the correct thing to do?

I have a .prg file and need to get it in the format of .exe
I have tried the command...

C:\xharbour\bin>harbour INDXROTA.PRG

But this just generates a .C file.
I try to compile this using borland but it generate an .obj file
instead of an .exe

I am slightly confused about what the next step is in order to get to
.exe from .prg?

Does anyone have any ideas for what I should try.


Carlton.

Based upon your earlier postings, you have a Dbase 4 .prg file.
Proceeding with your current path of enquiry will not produce a dbase
4 compatible solution.

The generic steps from .prg to .exe involve a compiler to process the
..prg into a .obj file and then a linker to combine the .obj with the
language's library files to produce the .exe file. If working with the
Clipper language you would need the Clipper compiler and a compatible
linker, eg PLink, Blinker, Exospace or others.
