Installed size: 214MB (54MB - 339MB)

The default installation will install MinGW compiler + x86 static and
shared libs, MSVC and BCC x86 libs and examples.

Options: x86 shared tools, x64 shared tools, MinGW x64 and
WinCE-ARM libs, MSVC x64 libs, Open Watcom x86 libs,
shared x64/WinCE-ARM libs, MS-DOS (watcom) libs, OS/2 (watcom)
libs, Linux (watcom) libs.

Usage:

  1. install/unpack to any directory (C:\hb20\)
  2. go to bin dir (optional if you specify path for hbmk2)
  3. For x86 executable, type: hbmk2 ../tests/hello.prg
  4. For x64 executable, type: hbmk2 ../tests/hello.prg -compiler=mingw64
    [needs mingw64 to be installed in comp/mingw64 dir beforehand]
  5. For WinCE/ARM executable, type: hbmk2 ../tests/hello.prg -platform=wce
    [needs cegcc to be installed in comp/mingwarm dir beforehand]
