Switching from Alaska 1.9 to 2.0

[Eugene Lutsenko]

I downloaded the trial version of Alaska 2.0 (30 days) and installed it. Nothing is compiled, but the most simple programs. How to smoothly and smoothly switch from 1.9 to 2.0?

You should be able to simply recompile your code.
There are no code changes required.

You do not need to use the workbench.

Eugene,

You may need to re-index your tables when switching versions but that's simple to do.

hi,

Environment of v2.x is different to v1.9x.
you have to compile / Link with v2.x LIBs

Hi, Roger! I'm very glad to hear from you. Simple recompilation causes a lot of errors related to ch and lib. I probably need to replace all of them with the ones in 2.0. I downloaded the trial version 2.0, but I don't have a normal one.

[Eugene Lutsenko]

Now I have an official licensed Xbase++ 2.0, Professional Edition!

Is it possible to install it on your computer so that you can simultaneously use both 2.0 and 1.9.?

And the last time I installed the trial version 2.0, I deleted it and then restored everything for another hour so that I could just work.
Now I made a copy of the disk, but it's still scary to start

I switch between 1.9 and 2.0 all the time because I have several customers who still use 1.9.

I use 2 different batch files:

Code: Select all

Thank you so much, Roger! How pleasant and useful it is to do business with you! Health to you!

hi!

Small programs 2.0 compiles and links, it turns out an exe module. And Eidos compiles the system, and then outputs this:

Those classes are referenced in the XPPSYS.lib file in 1.9.

Make sure that your SET LIB= statement is pointing to the folder that contains XPPSYS.lib.

In Xbase++ 2.0, those classes have been moved to XPPDUI.lib.

At a command prompt type: SET LIB and see what value is returned.
