[Harbour] Compiler question in INSTALL text file

[smu johnson]

Hi,

I tried using Open Watcom and found that my applications and .EXE sizes are
600k smaller than TDM MinGW, and run way faster.

But it says that it's kind of experimental or that it might not be 100%
supported in the INSTALL file under the heading Also supported, some
features may be missing:.  I was wondering if this still applies to this
day.

Also, I tried compiling Harbour with MSVC C++ 6, and it didnt work... if
that version isn't supported, could line 514 be updated to reflect the min
version required?

Thank you.

Hi Smu,

 I tried using Open Watcom and found that my applications and .EXE sizes are 
 600k smaller than TDM MinGW, and run way faster.

That's interesting result because on paper (using speedtst) 
watcom is much behind mingw, although better than bcc/pocc.

 But it says that it's kind of experimental or that it might not be 100% 
 supported in the INSTALL file under the heading Also supported, some 
 features may be missing:.  I was wondering if this still applies to this day.

Yes.

 Also, I tried compiling Harbour with MSVC C++ 6, and it didnt work... if that 
 version isn't supported, could line 514 be updated to reflect the min version 
 required?

It should be supported, so if there is a problem, pls 
report the details. Anyhow for real work I recommend 
MSVC 2005 or 2008, even free Express Edition will do.

Brgds,
Viktor
