CLIPPER 5.3 Installation
|
|
| writeln 2004-11-22, 8:55 pm |
| Dear Clipper programmers,
As a new member of this community, I allow myself to explain you my
problem.
I'm new, very new with CLIPPER language.
After installing my 8 disks for the clipper software (excepting help files
that cause problems at installation), I tried to launch the CACI.exe that
seems to be the developement station.
Here are the messages that are produced after the splash screen:
- msgbox: repository is probavly destroyed. OK
- error in int: CompRegisterNames() failed ! OK
- ADAM: error in int (33) Contact CA technical support
Those three msgbox appear each time launching the app and finally the app
won't run.
I found a caci.ini in my windows directory (winXPsp2) and edited that
one.
This part especially is critical I think:
[CA-Clipper Workbench Directories]
ExecutablePath=C:\CLIP53A\CACI
ApplicationsPath=C:\CLIP53A
PRGPath=C:\CLIP53A\CACI\DATA
AEFPath=C:\CLIP53A\CACI\DATA
MEFPath=C:\CLIP53A\CACI\DATA
InitBufferFile=
InitLineNr=41091072
[NanErrOptions]
CrtSize=600
The installation was done in c:\clip53A directory.
Could someone help me on that issue? If not, is there another way to
develop a DOS based application in Clipper?
Thanks for your great support.
Have a nice day.

Um, the traditional way? Use the command line tools and makefiles?

You have to got familiar with the compile / link cyclus , or , and maybe for
a beginner it is the most easy , use a builder.
I can recommand xMate from andy , see a thread from 4/11/2004

| Dear users,
Maybe I found the solution.
For now, the CACI is working well but I think this one is more difficult
that notepad :P
Could you give me some link on basics of Clipper programming and basics on
the compile cycle.
In fact, I'm a developer so I have some ideas on how this will work but I
have no documentation for that.
By the way, my need is to access a DBase database to read and write
records in order to make an order manager for a company.
Will clipper be my best solution? I think yes since I read some articles
on it.
Thanks for your care.
Best regards.

| Hi Frank,
So if I understand, I need to do kind of a rmake *.prg with options
described in the doc and next certainly do a link with another process.
What is the name of the app that will generate my EXE after doing the
link?
Another question would be how to link several obj but I will certainly
find the response in the doc for that one.
What is xharbour? an os? a GDI?
Thanks for your support.

| Seems that my problem is solved :)
For now I use the clipper 5.3 version and the clipper.exe and blinker.exe
to compile and like my application.
It's working well and my only problem is to understand how to link a *.ch
file for example.
Using @ ... BOX documentation I saw some constants that are located in
box.ch.
Have you an idea on how to link that one?
Thanks

box.ch is a header file; you don't "link" header files you include them
using the #include pre-processor directive. Check your Clipper
documentation.

All seems to work now...
Now I have to learn Clipper language to develop my application.
See you soon (certainly on this forum :))
