1 How to add a new sample to wxWindows.
2 =====================================
4 To add a new sample "foo" under directory "samples/foo" you need to
7 1. Create the directory samples/foo locally and "cvs add" it
9 2. Put the sources, headers and foo.rc file in it and "cvs add" them too
10 (don't forget to use "-kb" switch for binary files)
12 3. Create the makefiles for Windows compilers. There are several ways to do
14 a) copy the makefiles from samples/minimal, replace all occurences of
16 b) use makegen (sources are under utils/makegen)
19 4. Modify configure.in and samples/configure.in for Unix compilation:
20 a) if the sample should only be built if "wxUSE_FOO" is enabled, locate
21 the test for "wxUSE_FOO = yes" in configure.in and add a line
22 SAMPLES_SUBDIRS="$SAMPLES_SUBDIRS foo" under it
23 b) if it should be always built, locate the line "if test $wxUSE_GUI = yes"
24 near the end of configure.in and modify the assignment to
25 SAMPLES_SUBDIRS to include "foo" (put in alphabetical order)
26 c) add foo/Makefile to AC_OUTPUT in samples/configure.in
28 After this, regenerate configure and samples/configure from configure.in by
29 running "autoconf" on a Unix system in the corresponding directory.
