	1	How to add a new sample to wxWindows.
	2	=====================================
	3
	4	To add a new sample "foo" under directory "samples/foo" you need to do
	5	the following: (note that all this applies also to demos: just replace
	6	samples/ with demos/ where needed).
	7
	8	1. Create the directory samples/foo locally and "cvs add" it
	9
	10	2. 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
	13	3. 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
	20	4. 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
	32	5. 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.
