Hi

Is there a version of HMG (without QT) that is 64-bits ?

If not, are there any plans to do so ?

Nope. There is no such version as of now.

I don't have any idea about converting 32 bits to 64 bits. I will try to study.

Hi Rathinagiri

That is too bad as HMG Extended aka Minigui will not have a 64-bits version.

As at today (I started yesterday) , I have managed to download Harbour3.2dev source and recompiled it into 64-bits and then recompiled one of my pure harbour apps to 64-bits and yes, It worked very well on Windows 64 bits but does not run on Windows 32. To verify that it was indeed a 64-bits apps, I launched Taskbar and voila no 32 -bit label on the RHS of my app :-)

Although, there is currently no pressing need to have a 64-bits version as Windows 7/8 64-bits uses a 32-bit emulator called WOW to enable 32-bit apps to run on Win7/8 64-bits. But what if the next version of windows run on 128 bits and 32bit apps suffer the same fate as Clipper 16-bit ?

My interest in HMG is the usage of the progress bar as most if not all the HMG apps that I write are processing engine with the mandatory progress bar.
Is there any way to do a mini-HMG GUI lib in 64-bits ?

BTW, FWH, a commercial GUI lib by Antonio Linaries of Fivetech is already 64-bits.

Cheers !

Hi Rathinagiri

Perhaps you could simply recompile the 3.0.46 version with Harbour 3.2Dev 64 bits using 64-bits MingW as the compiler.

There are some Windows 32 bits functions that became obsolete with Windows 64 bits, you have to replace them with new equivalent functions.

Hi srvet_claudio

Perhaps you can list these obsolete functions for Rathinagari ?
The interesting thing is that Harbour32dev seems to be easily recompiled as 64-bits :-)
