NTK - Special Clip-4-Win section  »   CLIP4Win to NTK - exact migrations steps for newbie

Hi Scott,

Welcome onboard.

Sure, you are at the right place.
According to my own experience, NTK will make your C4W migration task simpler. Also, it will allow you to
- modernize your program by accessing the most recent Win32 Apis,
- ensure an efficient maintainance and regular improvements to your Apps.


IMO, you should start by the few following steps:

1. Install the whole NTK development plateform: NTK Framework + xHarbour1.2.1 + BCC5.5.1

2. Make the correct settings according to instructions detailed in the 'Getting started' manual.

3. Run a dos-shell, navigate to \wntk4Hrb\Ntkcore\ - then try to rebuild several of the available tutorials using the MK.BAT utility. e.g. MK Hello.prg or MK Demomult.prg

4. Once you've successfully passed step3 (no errors), go to the \wntk4hrb\Contribs\C4W2NTK\ subdir.
Here are located some very useful HowTo's, intended to help you figuring out how to translate a C4W program into NTK/Win32. Try to rebuild some of them using the MKRAD utility.


Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Ab.

I do the mk.bat for Hello.prg and get errors like "ilink32" is not recongnized...
