Readme for wxWindows 2.0 Ide-files
First release Feb. 1999, detlev@reymann-online.de

2. Where to install the files
3. How to modify them for your own needs
4. How to create ide-files for your own wxWindows-programs

1. What you can do with this ide-files
======================================

There are two ide-files. src\bc32.ide should help you to
create the wxWindows libraries from within the Ide of Borlands
C++, v. 5.x. Note that this doesn't include debugging code: you
need to change the settings if you wish to include debug
information. Previously, bc32d.ide was supplied with debug
settings, but this proved to time-consuming to maintain.

2. Where to install the files
=============================

You should copy the files for the libraries into the
src-directory of your wxWindows-Installation (e.g. C:\wxwin\src).
And the other file for the samples should be copied into the
samples-directory (e.g. C:\wxwin\samples).

(If installing from setup.exe or wx2..._bc.zip the files
will be installed into the appropriate directories
automatically).

3. How to modify them for your own needs
========================================

If your wxWindows-Installation resides on the same drive as your
Borland-Compiler and additionally the Borland-Installation is
the default (e.g. C:\BC5) then there should be no need to change
anything. Otherwise please change the path from within the ide
(Options->project->directories). Because we use the
$inherit-macro (Julian found the trick), this should work.

To add a new sample to samples\bc32.ide, follow these steps:

a. Choose Project->New target... and type in e.g.
   samples\newsample. Press OK.
b. Static, no OWL, MFC or class libraries. Press OK.
c. Right-click on the new node, choose Add node... and add
   ..\lib\wx32.lib. Add any other source files you require.
d. Right-click on the new node, choose Edit Local Options.. and
   add in Directories, specify the following:

   Include: $inherit;.\newsample
   Library: $inherit;
   Source:  .\newsample
   Intermediate: .\newsample
   Final: .\newsample

4. How to create ide-files for your own wxWindows-programs
==========================================================

I think you are familiar with the necessary options for your own
programm. So I will only describe what is neccessary to link
yout programm with the wxWindows-library. If you want to create
a ide-file for your own wxWindows-program, create a new project
from the menu file->new->project. Deactivate all the
standard-options, the only two thing that should be activated is
"static" for the libraries, if you want to use the library
produced with the library-ide and the checkbox OLE (You can
leave this checkbox unchecked, but then you have to add the
library \bc5\lib\ole2w32.lib to your project). You have to add
the include-path of wxWindows to the include-path in the
options-dialog (options->project->directories->include). The
result should be something like:
path_of_my_program;\bc5\include;\wxwin2\include; Then you have
to add the libraries to the project. Open the project-view and
activate your programm. Then right-click and choose "add" and
select the wxWindows-library (e.g. \wxwin\lib\wx32.lib).
