-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 occurrences of
-      minimal with foo
-   b) use makegen (sources are under utils/makegen)
-   c) use projgen
+1. Create the directory samples/foo locally and "cvs add" it.

+2. "cvs add" the sample sources (usually based on minimal.cpp) as well.

+   Note that unless your sample requires something special you shouldn't
+   add foo.rc, foo.ico, ... any more, please just reuse the generic sample.*
+   files in the samples subdirectory.
+
+3. Create the makefiles:
+   a) modify samples/samples.bkl (just copy an existing line)
+   b) create foo.bkl (sed 's/minimal/foo/g' minimal.bkl > foo.bkl is usually
+      enough, but you may need to add more <wx-lib> lines if your sample uses
+      anything not in the core lib)
+   c) generate the makefiles for your sample using bakefile. For this you
+      need to:
+      (i) install bakefile (see http://bakefile.sf.net/)
+      (ii) run bakefile_gen in build/bakefiles which will regenerate all
+           makefiles which are not up to date
+
+      You may also use "bakefile_gen -b ../../samples/foo/foo.bkl" to
+      regenerate only the makefiles for this sample (path must be relative!)
+      or even add a "-f<compiler>" to generate just the makefiles for the given
+      compiler (run 'bakefile --help' to get the list of possible values)
