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