A server application, providing GUI service, providing an opportunity to create GUI frameworks for different programming languages. A connection with your program is established via tcp/ip connection or via regular files. It is written on Harbour (look at http://www.kresin.ru/en/harbour.html) and C, GUI layer is provided by HwGUI library (http://www.kresin.ru/en/hwgui.html). The official web page is http://www.kresin.ru/en/guisrv.html Join the multilanguage group https://groups.google.com/d/forum/guiserver to discuss the GuiServer, External and related issues.

How to build

Project source files: source/guiserver.prg - main file, written on Harbour. source/fconnect.prg source/hbip.c source/listen.c source/misc.c

To compile a GuiServer from sources you will need Harbour, HwGUI and a C compiler.

Windows:

Build.bat is provided to build guiserver.exe with Borland C compiler. Probably, you will need to change HB_INSTALL and HWGUI_INSTALL variables in this batch file - they should point to your Harbour and HwGUI directories, respectively. Unicode version of HwGUI is necessary for GuiServer.

Linux:

Use the build.sh to compile guiserver. Probably, you will need to change HRB_INS and HWGUI_DIR variables in this shell file - they should point to your Harbour and HwGUI directories, respectively.

Download

You may download some ready binaries from http://www.kresin.ru/en/guisrv.html

Installation

Just copy an executable file to a folder of your choice. For to not write a full path to it in your applications, add this folder to a PATH environment variable.

Notes

extgui.prg and extgui_classes.prg together with hbip.c, listen.c are an implementation of a GUI framework, based on connection with GuiServer, for Harbour.

Attention! Since October 6, 2023, we have been forced to use two-factor identification in order to log in to github.com under your account. I can still do git push from the command line, but I can't use other services, for example, to answer questions. That's why I'm opening new projects on https://gitflic.ru /, Sourceforge, or somewhere else. Follow the news on my website http://www.kresin.ru/
