[Roberto Lopez]

HMG.4 For Linux (Ubuntu 10.4)

1. Unpack the .tar.gz release file in any place you want (ie, your desktop). A new folder called hmg.4 will be created.

2. Open a terminal window.

3. Install QT:

$ sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev

4. Install libgpm:

sudo apt-get install libgpm-dev

5. Go to your desired sample folder (/svn/samples) and run the following command:

./build.sh demo_1

6. That's all!

Download: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/hmg

Enjoy!

Roberto.

Thanks Roberto. I will check and revert back.

Hello Roberto,

I just tried it.

It did not work on first try: Here is my output verbatim:

The above Problem can be solved by installing libgpm-dev.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libgpm-dev

But after that, the linker just runs amok with lots of error messages. I will look into it and tell you more.

I also had to uninstall harbour.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove harbour

Then I discovered that the PATH needs to end with a /

So you should do

Code: Select all

PATH=$PATH:/home/USERNAME/Desktop/hmg.4/harbour/bin/linux/gcc/

Maybe uninstalling harbour was not necessary.

And after that TADAA!! It works great!

I am amazed. A big thank you to all developers in this forum.

Thanks, I've forgot that.

I've added a build script (build.sh) to all samples folders, so setting a path is not required anymore.

So, only with ./build.sh appname is enough.

I've updated the first post in this thread, please take a look at it.

Thanks for your report.

Hello Roberto,

I just downloaded it and it works as advertised.

Maybe you should point out, that the samples directory lies in svn/samples and not in harbour/examples. But I am sure people figure that out on their own.

I will try to compile and run the samples and report on that. Or is that too early?

The Lable demo_4 causes the following runtime error, when I click on "Show Picture":

Code: Select all

Error HBQT/1000  Message not found :SETICON: QLABEL:SETICON

Called from QLABEL:SETICON(0)
Called from LABEL:_PICTURE(1035)
Called from (b)MAIN(145)
Called from QT_QAPPLICATION_EXEC(0)
Called from QAPPLICATION:EXEC(0)
Called from WINDOW:ACTIVATE(1853)
Called from MAIN(165)

Does a bug report like this belong here? Please let me know where I can report this properly.

Another observation on samples:

samples/checkbutton

The regular checkbutton always looks the same. You can not see, if it is pushed, or not.

The flat := .t. type changes its look.

Please, report on developers table thread indicating if the error arises in Linux or Windows.

One more thing. All files have the UNIX-properties rwx (read, write, execute) for everybody (owner, group, other).

That means, that double-clicking on non-executable-files like hmg4.html or changelog.txt leaves the computer confused.

files like that need to be (rw-)

Code: Select all

chmod a-x hmg.4.html

will fix that.

Also .prg should not be marked as executeable.

To recursively do this in all directories try

Code: Select all

find . -type f -name '*.prg' -exec chmod a-x {} \;
