Please send comments and question about the OS/2 installation
to Andrea Venturoli <a.ventu@flashnet.it> and patches to
-make the installation work (better) to me (Robert Roebling).

First set some global environment variables we need:
SET CXXFLAGS=-Zmtd -D__ST_MT_ERRNO__
+SET CFLAGS=-Zmtd -D__ST_MT_ERRNO__
SET OSTYPE=OS2X
SET COMSPEC=sh
Notice you can choose whatever you want, if you don't like OS2X.
+Now, run autoconf in the main directory and in the samples, demos
+and utils subdirectory. This will generate the OS/2 specific
+versions of the configure scripts. Now run

* Building wxGTK on SGI

i.e. if it says "--disable-threads" it means that threads
are enabled by default.
-Many of the confiugre options have been thoroughly tested
-in wxWindows snapshot 6, but not yet all (ODBC not).
-
Normally, you won't have to choose a toolkit, because when
you download wxGTK, it will default to --with-gtk etc. But
if you use all of our CVS repository you have to choose a
toolkit. You must do this by running configure with either of:
- --without-gtk Don't use the GIMP ToolKit (GTK)
+ --without-gtk Don't use the GIMP ToolKit (GTK)
--with-motif Use either Motif or Lesstif
Configure will look for both.
The following options handle the kind of library you want to build.
- --disable-threads Compile without thread support. Threads
- support is also required for the
- socket code to work.
+ --disable-threads Compile without thread support.
--disable-shared Do not create shared libraries.

-Many of the confiugre options have been thoroughly tested

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
- --without-libpng Disables PNG image format code.
+ --with-odbc Enables ODBC code. This is disabled
+ by default because iODBC is under the
+ L-GPL license.
+
+ --without-libpng Disables PNG image format code.
+
+ --without-libjpeg Disables JPEG image format code.
- --without-libjpeg Disables JPEG image format code.
+ --without-libtiff Disables TIFF image format code.
+
+ --disable-pnm Disables PNM image format code.
-{ --without-odbc Disables ODBC code. Not yet. }
+ --disable-gif Disables GIF image format code.
- --disable-resources Disables the use of *.wxr type
+ --disable-pcx Disables PCX image format code.
+
+ --disable-resources Disables the use of *.wxr type
resources.
--disable-threads Disables threads. Will also
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.
1) The first way uses the installed libraries and header files
automatically using wx-config
-g++ myfoo.cpp `wx-config --libs` `wx-config --cflags` -o myfoo
+gcc myfoo.cpp `wx-config --cflags --libs` -o myfoo
Using this way, a make file for the minimal sample would look
like this
-CC = g++
+CC = gcc
minimal: minimal.o
$(CC) -o minimal minimal.o `wx-config --libs`
2) The other way creates a project within the source code
directories of wxWindows. For this endeavour, you'll need
-the usual number of GNU tools, at least
-
-GNU automake version 1.4
-GNU autoheader version 2.14
-GNU autoconf version 2.14
-GNU libtool version 1.3
-
-and quite possibly
-
-GNU make
-GNU C++
-
-and if you have all this then you probably know enough to
-go ahead yourself :-)
+GNU autoconf version 2.14 and add an entry to your Makefile.in
+to the bottom of the configure.in script and run autoconf
+and configure before you can type make.
