+5. To make and use wxWindows as a DLL, type
+ 'make -f makefile.b32 clean'
+ 'make -f makefile.b32 DLL=1'
+ which generates a DLL (wx32d.dll) and import library (wx32d.lib),
+ and then for each sample,
+ 'make -f makefile.b32 WXUSINGDLL=1'
+ Please note that the samples have not been exhaustively tested
+ with this configuration. You may also generate a sepratae library
+ and second DLL using the commands
+ 'make -f makefile.b32 clean'
+ 'make -f makefile.b32 DLL=1 FINAL=1'
+ which generates a DLL (wx32.dll) and import library (wx32.lib),
+ and then for each sample,
+ 'make -f makefile.b32 WXUSINGDLL=1 FINAL=1'
+
+6. You can use the WXUNIVERSAL widgets instead of the native MSW
+ ones (eg if you want to build an application with the same
+ look and feel on all platforms)
+ Use the command (in src\msw directory)
+ 'make -f makefile.b32 WXUSINGUNIV=1'
+ Then run
+ 'make -f makefile.b32 WXUSINGUNIV=1' in the sample directory which you wish
+ to build using the wxUniversal widgets. Use 'SET WXTHEME=GTK' [or WIN32 or METAL]
+ to test the existing themes
+ The makefile is written with the intention that you can build DLLs
+ and do final releases by combinations of commandline parameters.
+ At the time of writing, (Oct 02) not all the wxDialogs are working
+
+7. To use UNICODE for win2000 and XP systems edit wxWindows\wx\include\msw\setup.h
+ so that wxUSE_UNICODE is 1 instead of the default value of zero
+
+8. To make console mode applications with wxWindows functions go
+ to the src\msw directory
+ 'make -f makebase.b32 clean'
+ 'make -f makebase.b32'
+ There is a sample\console directory and in this type
+ 'make -f makefile.b32 wxUSE_GUI=0'
+
+9. OUTPUTDIR may be set to the name of the directory where you want all the
+ object files to be generated (the library files are always created in
+ %WXWIN%\lib). Compilation will fail if you set it to an empty string
+ to create them in the same directory as the source. If you change OUTPUTDIR,
+ make sure that it does not have a trailing backslash!
+ In the samples, you may use EXEDIR=adir to build the samples in adir. Setting
+ EXEDIR=. will build in the current directory,
+
+Note (0): This provides the ability to produce separate wxwindows libraries
+ for different purposes, and only have to rebuild the applications
+
+Note (1): the wxWindows makefiles assume byte structure alignment. Please
+make sure that your own project or makefile settings use the
+same alignment, or you could experience mysterious crashes. To
+change the alignment, add a suitable option to the $(CFG) target code
+in src/msw/makefile.b32.
+
+Note (2): if you get undefined _SQL... symbols at link time,
+either install odbc32.lib from the BC++ CD-ROM into your BC++ lib
+directory, or set wxUSE_ODBC to 0 in include\wx\msw\setup.h and
+recompile wxWindows. The same applies if compiling using the IDE.
+
+
+Note (3): If you wish debug messages to be sent to the console in
+debug mode, edit src\makeb32.env and change /aa to /Tpe in
+LINK_FLAGS.
+
+Compiling using the IDE files: [Borland C++ 5.0, not Cbuilder]
+
+1. Load src\bc32.ide from the file bc32.zip at
+ http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/ports/bcc32/wxwin21/ and select Release settings
+2. Go to Options|Project... and specify the correct BC++ include and lib path for
+ your file structure.
+3. Press F9 to compile the wxWindows library.
+4. Load samples\bc32.ide.
+5. Go to Options|Project... and specify the correct BC++ include and lib path for
+ your file structure.
+6. Press F9 to compile the samples (build each node separately if
+ you prefer, by right clicking and choose Build Node).
+7. Run each sample: you may need to run from each sample's directory
+ since some (notably the wxHTML samples) look for files
+ relative to the working directory.
+
+Note (1): the samples project file contains a selection of
+samples, and not all samples. The remaining samples can be made
+with the makefiles. See also the demos hierarchy which doesn't
+have any BC++ project files yet.
+
+Note (2): to make the png, zlib, jpeg and tiff libraries (needed for
+some samples) you need to compile them with bc32.ide.
+
+Note (3): the debug version of the wxWindows library is about 40 MB, and the
+release version is around 5 MB.
+
+See also the file docs/tech/tn0007.txt for further instructions and details
+of how to create your own project files.
+
+** REMEMBER **
+
+In all of your wxWindows applications, your source code should include
+the following preprocessor directive:
+
+#ifdef __BORLANDC__
+#pragma hdrstop
+#endif
+
+(check the samples -- e.g., \wx2\samples\minimal\minimal.cpp -- for
+more details)
