What is hbmk2 ?

hbmk2.exe is the Harbour 2.0 excellent make utility that is located in the BIN folder under the C:\hb20 root directory. This is assuming that you accept the default location when installing the hb20 distro available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/files/binaries-windows/2.0.0/

After installing do not forget to set path to c:\hb20; c:\hb20\bin.

To use it is fairly simple, go to your project folder and type

c:\hb20\projects\yourproject >hbmk2 yourproject.hbp and bingo your Harbour 32-bit EXE is created

What are the options that hbmk2 provide ?

Just type at any command prompt

C:\hb20\projects\myprojects> hbmk2  
and this is what you get to see :-
