Probably. However I start with either the:
http://www.xharbour.org/index.asp?pa...s/binaries_win

Or, if you hate bach files as much as I do:
http://www.xharbour.com/xHlogin/logi...ads&show_sub=2
.... the Personal version does not have all the Clipper Tools or
SQL stuff, but it is very much worth the expense IMO. If you are
going to Linux (or dual platform)... you don't want to start
leaning on this crutch however.

At last it's show me, the same link as above. I also have to download BCC, isn't it ?
The installation of xHarbour make a double folder like c:\xharbour\xHarbour\ !.. Strange.
May I install BCC also in this c:\xHarbour folder?

I hobe I can do the same with hbmake.

I did not go that way. I wish I could answer your question.
Best to ask on comp.lang.xharbour. I had to be up to speed
quickly, my needs were simple, so I bought xBuilder.

Can, but will be editing different file extension, I think.

Otto,

I don't use the official binaries, but I suspect that the reason for
getting that directory structure is that you dragged the zip file to
an existing xHarbour directory and told Winzip to extract the files in
xHarbour instead of "here". That happens very easily.

>May I install BCC also in this c:\xHarbour folder?

Where do you keep your other utilities? In separate directories at the
c:\ root or in one directory tree for all of them? I suggest that you
rename the first directory to "binaries" for example. Then install bcc
in a subdirectory off the binaries directory side by side with the
actual xHarbour directory.

>In fact I like batch files.

Me too <g>. Use a batch file to set up your path to point to
c:\binaries\bcc\bin;c:\binaries\xharbour\bin;%path%
and the lib and include paths in a corresponding way way
