1 How to add a new sample to wxWindows.
2 =====================================
3
4To add a new sample "foo" under directory "samples/foo" you need to do
5the following: (note that all this applies also to demos: just replace
6samples/ with demos/ where needed).
7
81. Create the directory samples/foo locally and "cvs add" it
9
102. Put the sources, headers and foo.rc file in it and "cvs add" them too
11 (don't forget to use "-kb" switch for binary files)
12
133. Create the makefiles for Windows compilers. There are several ways to do
14 it:
15 a) copy the makefiles from samples/minimal, replace all occurences of
16 minimal with foo
17 b) use makegen (sources are under utils/makegen)
18 c) use projgen
19
204. Modify configure.in and samples/configure.in for Unix compilation:
21 a) if the sample should only be built if "wxUSE_FOO" is enabled, locate
22 the test for "wxUSE_FOO = yes" in configure.in and add a line
23 SAMPLES_SUBDIRS="$SAMPLES_SUBDIRS foo" under it
24 b) if it should be always built, locate the line "if test $wxUSE_GUI = yes"
25 near the end of configure.in and modify the assignment to
26 SAMPLES_SUBDIRS to include "foo" (put in alphabetical order)
27 c) add foo/Makefile to AC_OUTPUT in samples/configure.in
28
29 After this, regenerate configure and samples/configure from configure.in
30 by running "autoconf" on a Unix system in the corresponding directory.
31
325. Add a short description of what the sample does and how does it work
33 to the "samples overview" section in the wxWindows manual. That section
34 lives in docs/latex/wx/tsamples.tex; look at the descriptions for other
35 samples, if you are not familiar with LaTeX.
