How to build the sources from CVS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Please use the install.txt files in docs/gtk, docs/msw, docs/motif, docs/mac
+etc. alongside these instructions.

I) Windows using plain makefiles
----------------------------------------
wxWindows under Classic Mac OS using CodeWarrior.
If you are checking out the CVS sources using cvs under Mac OS X and
-compiling under Classic Mac OS, make sure that all text files have a
-Mac OS type of 'TEXT' otherwise CodeWarrior may ignore them. Checking
-out the CVS sources using cvs under Mac OS X creates untyped files
-which can lead to compialtion errors under CodeWarrior which are hard
-to track down.

V) MacOS X using configure and the Developer Tools
----------------------------------------
First you'll need a cross-compiler; linux glibc binaries of mingw32 and
cygwin32 (both based on egcs) can be found at
-ftp://ftp.objsw.com/pub/crossgcc/linux-x-win32. Otherwise you can
-compile one yourself. Check the relevant FAQs.
+ftp://ftp.objsw.com/pub/crossgcc/linux-x-win32. Alternative binaries,
+based on the latest MinGW release can be found at
+http://members.telering.at/jessich/mingw/mingwcross/mingw_cross.html
+Otherwise you can compile one yourself.
[ A Note about cygwin32 and mingw32: the main difference is that cygwin32
binaries are always linked against cygwin.dll. This dll encapsulates most
-> cd win32
(or whatever you called it)
Now run configure. There are two ways to do this
--> ../configure --host=i586-mingw32 --build=i586-linux --with-mingw \
- --enable-dnd=no --without-odbc
+-> ../configure --host=i586-mingw32 --build=i586-linux --with-mingw
where --build= should read whatever platform you're building on. Configure
will notice that build and host platforms differ, and automatically prepend
i586-mingw32- to gcc, ar, ld, etc (make sure they're in the PATH!).
yourself:
-> CC=i586-mingw32-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32-g++ RANLIB=i586-mingw32-ranlib \
DLLTOOL=i586-mingw32-dlltool LD=i586-mingw32-ld NM=i586-mingw32-nm \
- ../configure --host=i586-mingw32 --with-mingw --enable-dnd=no
+ ../configure --host=i586-mingw32 --with-mingw
(all assuming you're using mingw32)
-Drag'n'drop is disabled because mingw32 lacks (AFAIK) OLE headers.
-
-[ Update: some new mingw32 versions now have a new set of windows header
-files, which apparently can handle ole. Untested at the moment ]
-
-ODBC files don't compile as of 13.10.99 - may be this will be fixed by the
-moment you're reading these lines.
-
-Configure will conclude that shared libraries are out of the question and
-opt for a static one. I haven't looked into DLL creation yet.
+By default this will compile a DLL, if you want a static library,
+specify --disable-shared.
Type
-> make
and wait, wait, wait. Don't leave the room, because the minute you do there
will be a compile error :-)
-NB: you risk to get quite a few warnings about "ANSI C++ forbids implicit
- conversion from 'void *'" in all places where va_arg macro is used. This
- is due to a bug in (some versions of) mingw32 headers which may be
- corrected by editing the file

${install_prefix}/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mingw32/egcs-2.91.57/include/stdarg.h
and adding "|| defined(_WIN32)" to the list of platforms on which
__gnuc_va_list is char *.
-If this is successful, you end up with a libwx_msw.a in win32/lib. Now try
-building the minimal sample:
+If this is successful, you end up with a wx23_2.dll/libwx23_2.a in win32/lib
+( or just libwx_msw.a if you opted for a static build ).
+Now try building the minimal sample:
-> cd samples/minimal
-> make
- resource compiling must be done manually for now (should/can we link the
default wx resources into libwx_msw.a?) [ No we can't; the linker won't
link it in... you have to supply an object file ]
-- dynamic libraries
- static executables are HUGE -- there must be room for improvement.
