HbBuilder v1.1.0 — xHarbour support

Highlights

xHarbour compiler support (Windows) — projects can now be built against xHarbour (c:\xHarbour) or xHarbour.com instead of Harbour.

What's new

• New Tools → Select Harbour Flavor... menu item picks the flavor (Harbour / xHarbour / xHarbour.com). The choice is persisted in hbbuilder.ini ([IDE]Flavor) and defaults to harbour, so existing Harbour builds are unchanged.
• FindHarbour() searches c:\xHarbour / c:\xHarbour.com with the flat xHarbour layout (bin\harbour.exe, lib\*.lib).
• The build's link step uses xHarbour core lib names (rtl/vm/codepage/lang/rdd/macro/pp/common/...) instead of Harbour's hb*-prefixed libs, across the msvc/bcc/mingw branches.

Fixes

• xHarbour SourceForge libraries are OMF (Borland) format and cannot be linked by MSVC link.exe (LNK1136). A xHarbour flavor now prefers/auto-switches to BCC, or reports a clear error when no BCC is installed.
• BCC compile commands now place -o before the source file (BCC ignores it otherwise), which left stddlgs.obj unbuilt.
• Source compatibility: __XHARBOUR__-guarded shim in classes.prg for Harbour-only RTL functions; __PLATFORM__WINDOWS normalization; hbide.h / hbbridge.cpp / hb_db_real.cpp adjusted for the xHarbour C API.

Notes

• Windows only. c:\xHarbour.com is a source tree and must be built before it can be used as a compiler target.
