- How to add a new sample to wxWindows.
+ How to add a new sample to wxWidgets.
=====================================
To add a new sample "foo" under directory "samples/foo" you need to do
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 (possible values are in FORMATS.bkmanifest file in bakefile
- source tree)
+ compiler (run 'bakefile --help' to get the list of possible values).
+ See Technote #16 for more information.
-4. Modify configure.in and samples/configure.in for Unix compilation:
+4. Modify configure.in Unix compilation:
a) if the sample should only be built if "wxUSE_FOO" is enabled, locate
the test for "wxUSE_FOO = yes" in configure.in and add a line
SAMPLES_SUBDIRS="$SAMPLES_SUBDIRS foo" under it
b) if it should be always built, locate the line "if test $wxUSE_GUI = yes"
near the end of configure.in and modify the assignment to
SAMPLES_SUBDIRS to include "foo" (put in alphabetical order)
- c) add foo/Makefile to AC_OUTPUT in samples/configure.in
- After this, regenerate configure and samples/configure from configure.in
+ After this, regenerate configure from configure.in
by running "autoconf" on a Unix system in the corresponding directory.
5. Add a short description of what the sample does and how does it work
- to the "samples overview" section in the wxWindows manual. That section
+ to the "samples overview" section in the wxWidgets manual. That section
lives in docs/latex/wx/tsamples.tex; look at the descriptions for other
samples, if you are not familiar with LaTeX.
+6. Add sample's files to build/bakefiles/make_dist.mk and
+ distrib/msw/{generic.rsp,makefile.rsp,vc.rsp}.
