HbQt, HbXBP and HbIDE - New Home Changed

Pritpal Bedi bedipritpal.s@gmail.com via googlegroups.com	Oct 2 (1 day ago)
to harbour-users

Hello Everybody

We discussed, as guided by Viktor, and debated by Francesco Perillo, 

over the use of "hbaddons" namespace, and unanimously, resolved that 

this namespace must remain reserved for Harbour's would-be-in-future 

implementation of "package(s)" protocol. The discussion can be read at 

google groups - qtcontribs.

So the new home to Qt related projects is now SF account:

QtContribs - Harbour Qt Projects

Checkout: 

http://svn.code.sf.net/p/qtcontribs/code/trunk

The Mission Statement:

https://sourceforge.net/p/qtcontribs/wiki/The%20Mission%20Statement/

Subsribe to QtContrib Developers List at:

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qtcontribs-devel

Developers and Users Meet together at:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups=#!topic/qtcontribs/

Download and build protocol remains the same:

1. Create "addons" subfolder in Harbour root as: harbour/addons

2. Checkout: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/qtcontribs/code/trunk  in this folder

3. Type: hbmk2 qtcontribs.hbp

4. Receive: hbqt*, hbxbp libraries in Harbour's build lib folder.

5. Receive: hbide.exe in Harbour's build bin folder

Hope to meet you at:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups=#!topic/qtcontribs/

Till then,

PS: do not forget to show your support by writing a review at SF page.

HbQt, HbXBP and HbIDE is back...

Hello Everybody

Let me enjoy the pleasure to announce the new home for 

HbQt, HbXBP, HbIDE, which, for good reasons, were removed 

from Harbour's repository.

Checkout: 

https://svn.code.sf.net/p/hbaddons/svn/trunk

How to get:

Create "addons" subfolder in Harbour root, as 

harbour/addons

And checkout with above link into this folder.

How to build:

Access the console as you would be accessing for Harbour.

CD to addons.

Issue: hbmk2 hbaddons.hbp -rebuild.

That's it.

The binaries will be deposited in where Harbour build deposits.

Mailing-lists for developers and users will be announced later.

I am really thankful to Maurizio, Francessco Perillo, Francesco Saverio Giudice

for their whole hearted support. SF "hbaddons" project includes 

Viktor and Przemek as Admins. 

It would important here to mention that the bug of HbIDE 

which throws GPF on EXIT on nix systems, reported by 

Przemek has been fixed. This GPF was also present on 

MSVC since begining, on all versions. The fix is materialized 

in .qth files, where I overlooked QSpacerItem, which is a 

non-QObject derived class but was being handelled as 

if it was a QObject. So, until someone comes across any such 

overlook, I can assume HbQt to be stable.

Hope to see you downloading these components...
