Unified Windows release for mainstream compilers and
x86, x64, WinCE/ARM platforms.

Installed size: 231MB (76MB - 317MB)

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

Options: x86 shared tools, x64 shared tools, MinGW x64 and
WinCE-ARM libs, MSVC x64 libs, shared x64/WinCE-ARM libs.

Usage:

  1. install/unpack to any directory (C:\hb30\)
  2. go to the C:\hb30\bin directory (might as well add it to your PATH)
  3. For x86 executable, type: hbmk2 ../tests/hello.prg
