16Run wxconfigtool-x.yz-setup.exe and follow the instructions

19You should find a shortcut on your desktop, and you can
20also find it in a group similar to this:
21
be5a51fb 22Start -> Program Files -> wxWidgets Configuration Tool x.y

26------------------------------------------------------
27
28Unarchive wxconfigtool-x.yz.tar.gz to a suitable location
29in your filesystem. A directory of the form wxconfigtool-x.yz
30(where x.yz is the version number) will be created.
31
32Add the location to your PATH and run the application with
33'wxconfigtool'. You may wish to set the environment variable
be5a51fb 34WXCONFIGTOOLDIR so that wxWidgets Configuration Tool can find its data files.

35
36For example:
37
38 % cd ~
39 % tar xvfz wxconfigtool-1.01.tar.gz
40 % export WXCONFIGTOOLDIR=`pwd`/wxconfigtool-1.01
41 % export PATH=$PATH:$WXCONFIGTOOLDIR
42 % wxconfigtool
43
44If you don't want to change your PATH, you could place a
45script in a location already on your PATH, such as
46/usr/local/bin. For example:
47
48 #!/bin/sh
be5a51fb 49 # Invokes wxWidgets Configuration Tool
d7463f75
JS
50 export WXCONFIGTOOLDIR=/home/mydir/wxconfigtool-1.01
51 $WXCONFIGTOOLDIR/wxconfigtool $*

53If you wish to associate the wxWidgets Configuration Tool file extension
54(pjd) with wxWidgets Configuration Tool, you will need to edit your
d7463f75
JS
55~/.mailcap file (or create one if it doesn't exist)
56and add an entry similar to this:
57
58 application/wxconfigtool; wxconfigtool %s
59
60and add this ~/.mime.types:
61
62 type=application/wxconfigtool \
be5a51fb 63 desc="wxWidgets Configuration Tool Document" \
d7463f75
JS
64 exts="pjd"
