How to Build

For all platforms you will 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:

Windows 7 or upper system is recommended to build Harbour.
Make sure to have your C compiler of choice installed in PATH. Refer to your C compiler installation and setup instructions for details. Make sure no tools in your PATH belonging to other C compilers are interfering with your setup. Also avoid 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.
GNU Make 3.81 or upper is required. A copy of this tool is included in the source package, 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

To test it, type:

> cd tests
> ..\bin\<plat>\<comp>\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 recommended to use the native one.

To build:

> sh -c make

To test it, type:

> cd tests
> ..\bin\<plat>\<comp>\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 installed in PATH.

To build:

> dos-make

To test it, type:

> cd tests
> ..\bin\<plat>\<comp>\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

To test it, type:

> cd tests
> ..\bin\<plat>\<comp>\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 [HB_PLATFORM=<...>]

To test it, type:

$ cd tests
$ ../bin/<plat>/<comp>/hbmk2 hello.prg
$ ./hello

You should see Hello, world! on screen.

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

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

To build:

$ make [HB_PLATFORM=<...>]

To test it, type:

$ cd tests
$ ../bin/<plat>/<comp>/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

on FreeBSD hosts

Platform specific prerequisites:

You will need to have the developer tools installed.
Then you will 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

To test it, type:

$ cd tests
$ ../bin/<plat>/<comp>/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 [HB_PLATFORM=<...>]

Or

$ make [HB_PLATFORM=<...>]

To test it, type:

$ cd tests
$ ../bin/<plat>/<comp>/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'd like to build. When starting GNU Make, all components under that directory will be built:

cd src/rtl
<make> [clean]

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

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

How to Create Packages for Distribution

Source .tgz on *nix

$ package/mpkg_src.sh

Binary .tgz on *nix

$ export HB_BUILD_PKG=yes
$ make clean install

Binary .deb on Linux

$ fakeroot debian/rules binary

Binary .rpm on Linux

$ package/mpkg_rpm.sh

You can fine-tune the build with these options:

--with static      - link all binaries with static libs
--with localzlib   - build local copy of zlib library
--with localpcre2  - build local copy of pcre2 library
--with localpcre   - build local copy of pcre library
--without x11      - do not build components dependent on x11 (gtxwc)
--without curses   - do not build components dependent on curses (gtcrs)
--without slang    - do not build components dependent on slang (gtsln)
--without gpllib   - do not build components dependent on GPL 3rd party code
--without gpm      - build components without gpm support (gttrm, gtsln, gtcrs)

Binary .rpm on Linux (cross-builds)

for Windows:

$ package/mpkg_rpm_win.sh

for Windows CE:

$ package/mpkg_rpm_wce.sh

Binary .7z archive on Windows for all targets (except Linux)

$ set HB_DIR_7Z=C:\7-zip\
$ set HB_BUILD_PKG=yes

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

Binary .7z.exe installer for Windows

$ package\mpkg_win.bat

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 used 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 are not 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, add files under the 3rd party packages' root directory, or use a source package, 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_CURSES= (on *nix systems and DJGPP, auto-detected on both)
HB_WITH_GPM= (on Linux only)
HB_WITH_JPEG=C:\jpeglib (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_PCRE2=C:\pcre2
HB_WITH_PCRE=C:\pcre (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_PNG=C:\libpng (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_SLANG= (on *nix systems)
HB_WITH_TIFF=C:\libtiff (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_WATT= (on MS-DOS systems)
HB_WITH_X11= (on *nix systems)
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 auto-detection 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.

See contrib-specific dependencies and build notes in the projects' .hbp file and find occasional link notes inside their .hbc files.

NOTES:

you need to use path format native to your shell/OS

don't put directory names inside double quotes

use absolute paths

On openSUSE, if you want to build 32-bit Harbour on a 64-bit host, install above packages with -32bit suffix, 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. 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 auto-detection doesn't suit your purpose:

HB_PLATFORM Override platform auto-detection
HB_COMPILER Override C compiler auto-detection

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

Special

HB_BUILD_DYN=no

Create Harbour dynamic libraries. Default: yes
HB_BUILD_CONTRIB_DYN=yes

Create contrib dynamic libraries. Default: no, except Windows platform, where it's yes.
HB_BUILD_PKG=yes

Create release package. Default: no Requires clean install in root source dir.
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 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 auto-detection of 3rd party components on default system locations. Default: yes
HB_BUILD_CONTRIBS=no [<l>]

Do not build any, or space separated <l> list of, contrib packages. Please note it will not 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_BUILD_NAME=[<name>]

Create named build. This allows keeping 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_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 and 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. It is meant for developers doing Harbour code modifications and releases. Default: no
HB_REBUILD_PARSER=yes

Rebuild language parser sources. 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.
HB_BUILD_POSTRUN=[<l>]

Run space separated <l> list of Harbour commands after successfully finishing a non-cross build. Commands will be run in the target binary directory.

Cross-builds

You can build Harbour for target platforms different from 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 from 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=<path-to-harbour-native-build>\bin

If you leave this value empty, the make system will try to auto-detect 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.

All code below should be copied to batch files or typed at command line.

Naturally, you will need to adapt pathnames to valid ones on your system.

You can use additional clean, install or clean install make parameters depending on what you want to do.

Build Your Own Harbour App

For all platforms you will 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 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:\hb\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.
