-* Preparing WINE
-----------------
-
-Most C++ compilers cannot compile the WINE sources yet (this includes
-all versions of g++ and egcs) so you have to make a minimal change
-and recompile all of WINE in order to get anywhere.
-
-This change has do be applied to the /include/windef.h file, line 59
-in the section "Calling convention definitions", where the sources
-reads:
-
-#if __i386__
-
-which has to be changed into
-
-#if 0
-
-After this change, you'll have to recompile all of WINE without
-forgetting to install it. The direct consequence of this change
-is that the Win32 binary emulator won't work anymore, as the
-change disables the Windows native calling convention.

You can get the newest version of the WINE from the WINE homepage at:

Usage:
- ./configure options
+ ./configure options
If you want to use system's C and C++ compiler,
set environment variables CC and CCC as
- % setenv CC cc

- % ./configure options
+ % setenv CC cc

+ % ./configure options
to see all the options please use:
- ./configure --help
+ ./configure --help
The basic philosophy is that if you want to use different
configurations, like a debug and a release version,
are enabled by default.
Many of the configure options have been thoroughly tested

You must do this by running configure with either of:

The following options handle the kind of library you want to build.
- --enable-threads Compile without thread support. Threads

-
- --disable-shared Do not create shared libraries.
-
- --disable-optimise Do not optimise the code. Can
- sometimes be useful for debugging
- and is required on some architectures
- such as Sun with gcc 2.8.X which
- would otherwise produce segvs.
-
- --enable-profile Add profiling info to the object
- files. Currently broken, I think.
-
- --enable-no_rtti Enable compilation without creation of
- C++ RTTI information in object files.
- This will speed-up compilation and reduce
- binary size.
-
- --enable-no_exceptions Enable compilation without creation of
- C++ exception information in object files.

-
- --enable-debug_info Add debug info to object files and
- executables for use with debuggers
- such as gdb (or its many frontends).
-
- --enable-debug_flag Define __DEBUG__ and __WXDEBUG__ when
- compiling. This enable wxWindows' very

+in wxWidgets snapshot 6, but not yet all (ODBC not).
When producing an executable that is linked statically with wxGTK
you'll be surprised at its immense size. This can sometimes be
-drastically reduced by removing features from wxWindows that

are not used in your program. The most relevant such features
are

Apart from disabling certain features you can very often "strip"
the program of its debugging information resulting in a significant
reduction in size.
Now the makefiles are created (by configure) and you can compile
the library by typing:
- make
+ make
make yourself some coffee, as it will take some time. On an old
386SX possibly two weeks. During compilation, you'll get a few
have to log in as root (i.e. run "su" and enter the root
password) and type
- make install
+ make install
-You can remove any traces of wxWindows by typing
+You can remove any traces of wxWidgets by typing
make uninstall
-
+
If you want to save disk space by removing unnecessary
object-files:
- make clean
+ make clean
in the various directories will do the work for you.
$(CC) `wx-config --cflags` -c minimal.cpp -o minimal.o
clean:
- rm -f *.o minimal
+ rm -f *.o minimal
This is certain to become the standard way unless we decide
to stick to tmake.
2) The other way creates a project within the source code
-directories of wxWindows. For this endeavour, you'll need
+directories of wxWidgets. For this endeavour, you'll need
the usual number of GNU tools, at least
GNU automake version 1.4
In the hope that it will be useful,

+Addition notes by Julian Smart, August 2002
+===========================================
+
+I've fixed some compile errors, and got as far as
+compiling wxWINE, but actually linking a sample will take
+further work.
+
+To compile wxWINE, export these variables:
+
+export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/wine
+export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib/wine
+
+and configure with:
+
+configure --disable-static --enable-shared --enable-gui \
+ --with-wine --without-libpng --enable-debug_flag --enable-log \
+ --enable-debug_info --enable-ole --enable-clipboard --enable-dataobj \
+ --enable-debug --enable-threads --disable-sockets \
+ --with-libjpeg --enable-debug_cntxt
+
+Compiling a sample won't work yet because 'winebuild' needs
+to be called, and the resuling C file compiled and linked.
+Plus, Windows DLLs need to be imported.
+
+Note that the documentation on the WINE web site on using
+winebuild is out of date (August 2002) -- the spec file no
+longer supports import and type keywords. Instead look at
+samples in the WINE 'programs' directory for inspiration
+and compile options to use. It's probable that the
+wxWINE library will need recompiling with different options.
+
+Any progress on this front will be very welcome.
