1 0 Compatibility Various options for backward compatibility

1 0 WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY This setting determines the compatibility with 1.68 API Level 0: no backward compatibility, all new features Level 1: some extra methods are defined for compatibility. Default is 0. Recommended setting: 0 (in fact the compatibility code is now very minimal so there is little advantage to setting it to 1.

1 0 WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2 This setting determines the compatibility with 2.0 API Set it to 1 to enable it. Default is 0. Recommended setting: 0 (please update your code instead!)

--enable-compat20

1 0 WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 This setting determines the compatibility with 2.2 API Set it to 1 to enable it but please consider updating your code instead. The default is 0. Recommended setting: 0 (please update your code)

--enable-compat22

1 0 WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 This setting determines the compatibility with 2.4 API Set it to 0 to flag all cases of using deprecated functions. Default is 1 but please try building your code with 0 as the default will change to 0 in the next version and the deprecated functions will disappear in the version after it completely. Recommended setting: 0 (please update your code)

--enable-compat24

1 1 wxDIALOG_UNIT_COMPATIBILITY Set to 0 for accurate dialog units, else 1 to be as per 2.1.16 and before. If migrating between versions, your dialogs may seem to shrink. Default is 1. Recommended setting: 0 (the new calculations are more correct!)

__WXMSW__

wxDialog

1 0 Debugging Debugging settings See also C++ options. Generic comment about debugging settings: they are very useful if you don't use any other memory leak detection tools such as Purify/BoundsChecker, but are probably redundant otherwise. Also, Visual C++ CRT has the same features as wxWindows memory debugging subsystem built in since version 5.0 and you may prefer to use it instead of built in memory debugging code because it is faster and more fool-proof. Using VC++ CRT memory debugging is enabled by default in debug mode (__WXDEBUG__) if wxUSE_GLOBAL_MEMORY_OPERATORS is *not* enabled (i.e. is 0) and if __NO_VC_CRTDBG__ is not defined.

1 1 wxUSE_DEBUG_CONTEXT If 1, enables wxDebugContext, for writing error messages to file, etc. If __WXDEBUG__ is not defined, will still use the normal memory operators. Default is 0. Recommended setting: 0

--enable-debug_cntxt

wxDebugContext

1 1 wxUSE_MEMORY_TRACING If 1, enables debugging versions of wxObject::new and wxObject::delete *IF* __WXDEBUG__ is also defined. WARNING: this code may not work with all architectures, especially if alignment is an issue. This switch is currently ignored for mingw / cygwin. Default is 0. Recommended setting: 1 if you are not using a memory debugging tool, else 0

--enable-mem_tracing

Debugging overview

1 1 wxUSE_GLOBAL_MEMORY_OPERATORS In debug mode, cause new and delete to be redefined globally. If this causes problems (e.g. link errors which is a common problem especially if you use another library which also redefines the global new and delete), set this to 0. This switch is currently ignored for MinGW/Cygwin. The configure script sets this to 1 if wxUSE_MEMORY_TRACING is 1. Default: 0. Recommended setting: 0

Debugging Overview

1 1 wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS In debug mode, causes new to be defined to be WXDEBUG_NEW (see object.h). If this causes problems (e.g. link errors), set this to 0. You may need to set this to 0 if using templates (at least for VC++). This switch is currently ignored for MinGW/Cygwin/CodeWarrior. Default: 0. Recommended setting: 0

Debugging overview

1 1 wxUSE_ON_FATAL_EXCEPTION Fatal exceptions handling wxHandleFatalExceptions() may be used to catch the program faults at run time and, instead of terminating the program with a usual GPF message box, call the user-defined wxApp::OnFatalException() function. If you set wxUSE_ON_FATAL_EXCEPTION to 0, wxHandleFatalExceptions() will not work. This setting is for Win32 only and can only be enabled if your compiler supports Win32 structured exception handling (currently only VC++ does). Default: 1. Recommended setting: 1 if your compiler supports it.

__WXMSW__

--enable-catch_segvs

1 0 Unicode Unicode settings

0 0 wxUSE_UNICODE Unicode mode Set wxUSE_UNICODE to 1 to compile wxWindows in Unicode mode: wxChar will be defined as wchar_t, wxString will use Unicode internally. If you set this to 1, you must use the wxT() macro for all literal strings in the program. Unicode is currently only fully supported under Windows NT/2000/XP (Windows 9x doesn't support it and the programs compiled in Unicode mode will not run under 9x -- but see wxUSE_UNICODE_MSLU below). Default: 0. Recommended setting: 0 (unless you only plan to use Windows NT/2000/XP)

--enable-unicode

Unicode support in wxWindows

0 0 wxUSE_UNICODE_MSLU Unicode MSLU support Set wxUSE_UNICODE_MSLU to 1 if you want to compile wxWindows in Unicode mode and be able to run compiled apps under Windows 9x as well as NT/2000/XP. This setting enables use of unicows.dll from MSLU, the MS Layer for Unicode, see: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/dev/mslu_announce.mspx Note that you will have to modify the makefiles to include unicows.lib import library as the first library (if you use MSVC, you can run the makefile with: nmake MSLU=1 UNICODE=1 If your compiler doesn't have unicows.lib, you can get a version of it at: http://libunicows.sourceforge.net Default: 0. Recommended setting: 0 (1 if you want to deploy Unicode apps on 9x systems)

wxUSE_UNICODE

__WXMSW__

--enable-mslu

Unicode support in wxWindows

1 1 wxUSE_WCHAR_T Wide character support Setting wxUSE_WCHAR_T to 1 gives you some degree of Unicode support without compiling the program in Unicode mode. More precisely, it will be possible to construct wxString from a wide (Unicode) string and convert any wxString to Unicode. If using configure, this setting is automatically detected and set. Default: 1. Recommended setting: 1

Internationalization 1 1 Logging wxLog facilities

1 1 wxUSE_LOG wxLog Support for message/error logging. This includes wxLogXXX() functions and wxLog and derived classes. Don't set this to 0 unless you really know what you are doing. Default: 1. Recommended setting: 1 (always)

1 0 wxUSE_STD_IOSTREAM Standard C++ streams Use standard C++ streams if 1. If 0, use wxWin streams implementation. Default: 0

--enable-std_iostreams

1 1 wxUSE_FILE wxFile support Set wxUSE_FILE to 1 to compile wxFile classes. wxFile uses low level POSIX functions for file access, wxFFile uses ANSI C stdio.h functions. Default: 1. Recommended setting: 1. wxFile is highly recommended as it is required by i18n code, wxFileConfig and others.

--enable-file

wxFile

1 1 wxUSE_FFILE wxFFile support Set wxUSE_FFILE to 1 to compile wxFFile classes. wxFFile uses ANSI C stdio.h functions. Default: 1. Recommended setting: 1.

--enable-ffile

wxFFile

1 1 wxUSE_FSVOLUME wxFSVolume Use wxFSVolume class to provide access to the configured/active mount points. Default: 1. Recommended setting: 1 (but may be safely disabled if you don't use it)

wxFSVolume

1 1 wxUSE_TEXTBUFFER wxTextBuffer This class is required by wxTextFile.

1 1 wxUSE_CONFIG wxConfig Setting wxUSE_CONFIG to 1 enables the use of wxConfig and related classes which allow the application to store its settings in the persistent storage. Setting this to 1 will also enable on-demand creation of the global config object in wxApp. Default: 1.

--enable-config

wxConfig classes overview

1 1 wxUSE_CONFIG_NATIVE Native Config If wxUSE_CONFIG is 1, you may choose to use either the native config classes under Windows (using .INI files under Win16 and the registry under Win32) or the portable text file format used by the config classes under Unix. Default: 1 to use native classes. Note that you may still use wxFileConfig even if you set this to 1 - just the config object created by default for the applications needs will be a wxRegConfig or wxIniConfig and not wxFileConfig. Default: 1. Recommended setting: 1

1 1 wxUSE_FS_INET Virtual Internet file system Default: 1

wxUSE_STREAMS

--enable-fs_inet

1 1 wxUSE_RESOURCES wxGetResource/wxWriteResource Deprecated resource functions. On wxMSW, these functions use .ini files. On wxGTK+, they are implemented using wxFileConfig. On wxMotif, they use XrmDatabase. On all other platforms, they are not implemented. You might want to use them on wxMotif to access X11 resource files easily, but otherwise it is best to use wxConfig instead. Default: 1

--enable-xresources

1 1 wxUSE_IOSTREAMH iostream setting VC++ 4.2 and above allows <iostream> and <iostream.h> but you can't mix them. Set to 1 for <iostream.h>, 0 for <iostream>. Note that VC++ 7.1 and later doesn't support wxUSE_IOSTREAMH == 1 and so <iostream> will be used anyhow. Default is 1. Recommended setting: whatever your compiler likes more

1 1 wxUSE_LARGEFILE Large file support Clear to disable large file support (-D_LARGE_FILES).

--enable-largefile

1 0 Data Data classes

1 1 wxUSE_LONGLONG wxLongLong support Set wxUSE_LONGLONG to 1 to compile the wxLongLong class. This is a 64 bit integer which is implemented in terms of native 64 bit integers if any or uses emulation otherwise. This class is required by wxDateTime and so you should enable it if you want to use wxDateTime. For most modern platforms, it will use the native 64 bit integers in which case (almost) all of its functions are inline and it almost does not take any space, so there should be no reason to switch it off. Default: 1. Recommended setting: 1

--enable-longlong

wxLongLong

1 1 wxUSE_APPLE_IEEE IEEE floating point code If enabled, the code written by Apple will be used to write, in a portable way, floating point data on disk. See extended.c for the licence which is different from the wxWindows one. Default: 1. Recommended setting: 1 unless you don't like the licence terms (unlikely)

--enable-apple_ieee

1 1 wxUSE_REGEX wxRegEx Support for regular expression matching via wxRegEx class: enable this to use POSIX regular expressions in your code. You need to compile theh regex library from src/regex to use it under Windows. Default: 1 Recommended setting: 1 if your compiler supports it.

1 0 Time

1 1 wxUSE_DATETIME wxDateTime Set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1 to compile the wxDateTime and related classes which manipulate dates, times and time intervals. wxDateTime replaces the old wxTime and wxDate classes which are still provided for backwards compatibility (and implemented in terms of wxDateTime). Note that this class is relatively new and is still officially in alpha stage because some features are not yet (fully) implemented. It is already quite useful though and should only be disabled if you are aiming at absolutely minimal version of the library. Requires: wxUSE_LONGLONG. Default: 1

wxStatusBar

1 1 wxUSE_NATIVE_STATUSBAR Two status bar implementations are available under Win32: the generic one or the wrapper around native control. For native look and feel, the native version should be used. Default: 1. Recommended setting: 1 (there is no advantage in using the generic one)

wxStatusBar

1 1 wxUSE_TOOLBAR wxToolBar If wxUSE_TOOLBAR is 0, don't compile any toolbar classes at all. Otherwise, use the native toolbar class unless wxUSE_TOOLBAR_NATIVE is 0.

1 1 wxUSE_METAFILE wxMetaFile This option is relevant on MS Windows only. Windows supports the graphics format known as metafile which is, though not portable, is widely used under Windows and so is supported by wxWin (under Windows only, of course). Win16 (Win3.1) used the so-called "Window MetaFiles" or WMFs which were replaced with "Enhanced MetaFiles" or EMFs in Win32 (Win9x, NT, 2000). Both of these are supported in wxWin and, by default, WMFs will be used under Win16 and EMFs under Win32. This may be changed by setting wxUSE_WIN_METAFILES_ALWAYS to 1 and/or setting wxUSE_ENH_METAFILE to 0. You may also set wxUSE_METAFILE to 0 to not compile in any metafile related classes at all. Default: 1 for wxUSE_ENH_METAFILE and 0 for wxUSE_WIN_METAFILES_ALWAYS. Recommended setting: default or 0 for everything for portable programs.

wxUSE_UNICODE

--with-odbc

Database classes overview

0 0 wxODBC_FWD_ONLY_CURSORS wxDb cursor scrolling For backward compatibility reasons, this parameter now only controls the default scrolling method used by cursors. This default behavior can be overriden by setting the second param of wxDb::wxDbGetConnection() or wxDb() constructor to indicate whether the connection (and any wxDbTables that use the connection) should support forward only scrolling of cursors, or both forward and backward support for backward scrolling cursors is dependent on the data source as well as the ODBC driver being used. Default: 1

Database classes overview

0 0 wxODBC_BACKWARD_COMPATABILITY ODBC classes backward compatibility Set to 1 to use the deprecated classes, enum types, function, member variables. With a setting of 1, full backward compatability with the 2.0.x release is possible.
