Apparently I have had to learn the hard way with clipper 5e as I had to
learn it from scratch with no help from anyone. I managed to decompile the
software and now have the code. Through the changes I made I have learned
so much on clipper. Now my problem is Iam trying to migrate to Xbase++. the
decompiled program has UDF files and 1 rmk and 1 lnk file. To recompile it
I issue the command rmake programfile. I cant seem to figure out how to the
compile the same source code using xbase++. I have gone through the whole
news items but noone seems to have answered the question. Can anyone
assist.
-------------
In Dos
---------------
dir *.prg /b > project.xpj
---------------
Add the following lines to the project.xpj file
---------------
//// Project - Definition - File created by PBUILD Version 1.0
Date: 17/09/99 Time: 09:16:18
COMPILE_FLAGS = /b /q /p /w /wi /wl /wu /v /rxppui2.lib
COMPILE_FLAGS = /b /q /p /w /v /rxppui2.lib
[PROJECT]
COMPILE = xpp
COMPILE_FLAGS = /b /q /p /w /v /rxppui2.lib
COMPILE_FLAGS = /m /v /p /b /rxppui2.lib
DEBUG = YES
GUI = YES
LINKER = alink
RC_COMPILE = arc
RC_FLAGS = /v
PROJECT.XPJ
[PROJECT.XPJ]
MYFIRST.EXE
[MYFIRST.EXE]
PROG1.PRG --------------------
prog1a.prg add the prg list here
PROG2.PRG like this
----------------
Now you have the equivalent of a .rmk file (make file) so that you can
issue a PBUILD to hopefully create an exe file
---------------
You will need to have one .prg that is the entry point for the system. That
is
--------------
procedure main
set date british
do stuff
quit
return
Now read the getting started in the help files. You should find then in
c:\alaska\xppw32\book or in your start - program menu. Look xBase++
Documentation, Contents, Programming Tools, Project Builder (pbuild)
Why don't you show us your .rmk and .lnk files and we will be able to help
if you get stuck. BTW. We don't have a noone in this news group.
Happy Hunting

on Wed, 02 Aug 2006 10:59:02 -0400I think the problem is that you are using decompiled source. It has lost
the higher level syntax and you are seeing only the lower level stuff
and that is different in Xbase++ then Clipper.

| hERBERT ZIMBIZI | Re: Migrating from clipper 5e
on Thu, 03 Aug 2006 08:21:31 +0200Are you saying that these commands that start with an underscore are not
higher level syntax or that they have higherlevel equivalents. It would seem
that most of these are documented on clipper 5e. Some of them I have found
ways of replacing them but others are headache. But then on the other hand
it would seem that I have I might have to rewrite the program in Xbase++.

on Thu, 03 Aug 2006 02:30:21 -0400Anything starting with an underscore is a low level function that may
not have an exact matching function in Xbase++ They all have higher
level equivalents which are the same in both.

on Thu, 03 Aug 2006 09:10:03 +0200I will try to change all low level functions to higher level in clipper 5e.
Then after this probably try the conversion. Thank you man.

Information about the original Source.
Cl*pper, Xbase++ "normal" Extension is *.PRG, so you get a "Warning"
assist.XPJ(23:0) Warning: Unknown suffix XXXXX
while i have not seen your "decompiled" code : it seem some sort of PPO Code
and you need to "rewrite" it. not shur but i think Xbase++ does not know
__KILLREAD, but KILLREAD(). all "unresolved external symbol" with "__"
at the beginning are Cl*pper an shoud be replace by "normal" Function.
other "unresolved external symbol" are while just MAIN.PRG have been
compiled and you have only 1 *.OBJ (you shoud have for each *.PRG a *.OBJ)
last but not least : Did the "original" Application use 3st party LIBs ? it
"seems"
you need "Funky" and "CTTools" too ...

Iam not the original owner. The program was written in 1992 by some Jamaican
Company that has since folded.Up until now my company used this software as
is because they could not change anything since they did not have the source
code. I have learned the system afer decompiling the software. I dont have
any third party tools.

on Thu, 03 Aug 2006 07:00:51 +1000Hi Herbert,
Next step
Take each prg and place its name at the beginning as a function. e.g. If
you have a prg called cusmaint and your program somewhere calls it like "do
custmaint" then place "function custmaint" before the lead in code and
place a return nil at the end for this lead in code before any other
function or procedure in that cusmaint prg file.
e.g. for cusmaint.prg
-------------------------------------------
--- existing code
/* comments */
myvar="z"
thatnumb=90
procedure blah
....
return
function bloh
....
return nil
-----------------------------------------------
----- new code
function cusmaint(...,...,...)
myvar="z"
thatnumb=90
return
procedure blah
....
return
function bloh
....
return nil
See if this starts to eliminate some of the errors you are getting. I have
written a complete rtf gui replacement for cltext. You will have to deal
with the funcky functions by either using xbtools or write them yourself.
Do you have the professional subscription or the foundation subscription?

From your initial advice I have since had to rewrite a good number of the
procedures and functions and its coming out fine. I am now just trying
looking for equivalents for some of the lowlevel functions before I continue
with conversion. But You have given the jumpstart I needed. I have stripped
from my program all the problematic functions and I can run the program
excluding those functions that need rewriting.

Next you could try.
Searching for any unresolved symbols in the include files in your clipper
include folder to get the equivalent xBase++ command that is not being
resolved. Then hunt for the same command in your xBase++ documentation or
xBase++ include files.

shown in earlier post and the program is now compiling but develops a funny
error below.I recon this file does not have an error as it compiles on
Clipper 5e unless I missing something here.
File: DELREC.PRG Line: 324
DELREC.PRG(180:0): error XBT0226: OTHERWISE does not match DO CASE
1 error(s) found in file DELREC.PRG!

on Sun, 06 Aug 2006 10:17:30 +1000Hi Herbert,
The code for del rec around te case statement would be helpful. But clipper
will let through extra unneeded endifs and case statements.
e.g. I have seen like
if ....
elseif
endif
endif
compile fine in clipper but --- as xBase++ is actually a stronger compiler
than 5.2e, it will throw an error with the above code which is obviously in
error.
Show us the case statement if you can.
Regards
Mark

talking about a custom getsys.prg I have found out that I had actually seen
ths file on my computer. I commented out the two files giving problems in
order to progress with all other issues. The new error that seems to come up
is duplicate getsys. What do I do with itshas got other custom procs and
functions

on Thu, 03 Aug 2006 09:56:58 +0200Idid the decompilation last year and since then I have made such changes to
the system successfully. I can recompile at any time now. or even decompile
the new executable without hassles.

Have you been successful in recompiling the application in Clipper (using
the source from the decompiler) ?

I am trying to migrate a legacy application that I inherited from
noone.Apparently I have had to learn the hard way with clipper 5e as I had
to learn it from scratch with no help from anyone. I managed to decompile
the software and now have the code. Through the changes I made I have
learned so much on clipper. Now my problem is Iam trying to migrate to
Xbase++. the decompiled program has UDF files and 1 rmk and 1 lnk file. To
recompile it I issue the command rmake programfile. I cant seem to figure
out how to the compile thesame source code using xbase++. I have gone
through the whole news items but noone seems to have answered the question.
Can anyone assist. |

it will not compile and link in Xbase++.
I don't understand why you have so many missing symbols.
If you don't mind zipping up the source, I'll give it a try.

decompile Code ofter are PPO Code and you did not have equivalent in Xbase++
example __BOX(x1,y1,x2,y2) -> Error Xbase++ (... it is DispBox() )
