xEdit

[Lars Machiels]

I use both Xailer (1.9 Enterprise Edition) and xEdit. Now I want to test the latest version of xEdit. The problem with xEdit is that I have to include Xailer.lib to compile & link my application without any unresolved externals. If I do include xailer.lib my application wants the Xailer IDE to get started (because I use Demo version).
So I want to use xEdit for a console application without the need of Xailer.lib. I tried many things but it looks like xEdit can not be used by just itself.
What do I do wrong? Please advice.

xEdit cannot be used to create Xailer's executables. Just use Xailer to
do it. BTW, current Xailer version supports multi-project management,
that is, a main project which has sub-projects in an unlimited way.
Theese sub-projects are always compiled before the main project, in a
one-click action, and can be libraries, DLLs and another executables.
ITOH, xEdit can be used to create libraries for Xailer, or to create
programs directly for Harbour and xHarbour, without Xailer.

Hi,
I'm just testing XEDIT for the first time and I am wondering where to change the compiler-exe.
XEDIT tries to compile with "xHBBinharbour.exe", but my compiler is "xHBBinxHB.exe".
Where can I change this setting? I didn't find it.
Thanks for help!
Thierry

Thierry,
welcome!

Under Tools->Programming environment you can setup any compiler you may need.

José,
I'm still a little bit confused. Under "programming environment/xBase" I can switch between "Harbour" and "xHarbour", but XEdit still wants to compile via "harbour.exe" even if I've chosen "xHarbour" as compiler. I did not find an option to setup my own ".exe".
Next question: Most OEM-chars work fine, but the german umlauts "í¤í¶í¼" won't work when typing these keys on my german keyboard.
Any idea?
Regards,
Thierry

Please try to exit and execute xEdit again to see if it solves the problem. TIA.

Thierry,
I'm affraid XEdit has "harbour.exe" hardcoded as the compiler name that's
why you can't use your own exe.
As a workaround you can rename your own exe to "harbour.exe" while this
issue gets fixed.

On the statusbar, click on ANSI panel to select the desired charset.
