-Installing wxWindows 2.1
-------------------------
+Installing wxWindows 2.3.3
+--------------------------
-This is a beta release of wxWindows 2.1 for Microsoft
-Windows 95, 98 and NT. This is not a production release,
-although a huge number of bugs found in earlier versions
-of wxWindows have been fixed.
+This is wxWindows 2.3.3 for Microsoft Windows 9x/ME, Windows NT,
+Windows 2000 and Windows XP. This is an unstable development release.
+
+Please note that the library naming conventions for VC++
+compilation have changed after 2.3.1. This means that
+you will need to change your application project files. See the
+relevant section below for details.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you experience problems installing, please
-re-read this instructions and other related files (release.txt,
-todo.txt, bugs.txt etc.) carefully before mailing wxwin-users or
-the author. Preferably, try to fix the problem first and

Compilation
-----------
The following sections explain how to compile wxWindows with each supported
compiler.
-Visual C++ 4.0/5.0/6.0 compilation
-----------------------------------
+Visual C++ 6.0 compilation
+---------------------------
-Using project files (VC++ 5 and 6 only):
-
-1. Unarchive wx2_x_y_vc.zip, the VC++ 5/6 project makefiles.
-2. Open src/wxvc.dsp, set Debug or Release configuration for
- the wxvc project, and compile. Alternatively, use Batch Build
- to build both Debug and Release configurations.
- This will produce lib/wx.lib (release) and lib/wxd.lib (debug),
- plus various subordinate libraries. It assumes you have
- the TIFF and JPEG source, which is already in the setup
- version of the distribution.
- The project file src/wxvc_dll.dsp will make a DLL version of wxWindow,
- which will go in lib/wxdll.[lib,dll] and lib/wxdlld.[lib,dll].
+Using project files (VC++ 6 only):
+
+1. Unarchive wxWindows-x.y.z-vc.zip, the VC++ 6 project
+ makefiles (already included in wxMSW-x.y.z.zip and the setup version).
+2. Open src/wxWindows.dsp, which has configurations for static
+ compilation or DLL compilation, and each of these available in
+ Unicode/ANSI and Debug/Release variations. Normally you'll use
+ a static linking ANSI configuration. Choose the Win32 Debug or
+ Win32 Release configuration for the wxWindows project, and compile.
+ Alternatively, use Batch Build to build more than one
+ configuration.
+ The following libraries will be produced depending on chosen
+ configuration:
+
+ wxmsw.lib wxmswd.lib ; ANSI Release/Debug
+ wxmswu.lib wxmswud.lib ; UNICODE Release/Debug
+ wxmsw23x.lib wxmsw23xd.lib ; ANSI DLL Release/Debug
+ wxmsw23xu.lib wxmsw23xud.lib ; UNICODE DLL Release/Debug
+
+ It will also produce similar variations on jpeg.lib, png.lib,
+ tiff.lib, zlib.lib, and regex.lib.
3. Open a sample project file, choose a configuration such as
- Debug using Build | Set Active Configuration..., and compile.
+ Win32 Debug using Build | Set Active Configuration..., and compile.
The project files don't use precompiled headers, to save disk
space, but you can switch PCH compiling on for greater speed.
- NOTE: you may also use samples/SamplesVC.dsw to access all
+ NOTE: you may also use samples/samples.dsw to access all
sample projects without opening each workspace individually.
You can use the Batch Build facility to make several samples
at a time.

4. Change directory to wx\samples and type 'nmake -f makefile.vc'
to make all the samples. You can also make them individually.

before making a different configuration, because otherwise

this manifested in unexpected link errors or warnings. This problem
doesn't occur when using project files to build wxWindows.
+ To build Unicode versions of the libraries, add UNICODE=1
+ to the nmake invocation ( default is UNICODE=0 ).
+
Note that the wxWindows core library allows you to have debug
and release libraries available simultaneously, by compiling the
objects in different subdirectories, whereas samples must be
1. Change directory to wx\src\msw. Type 'nmake -f makefile.vc dll pch'
to make both a suitable DLL and import library, and to build a
suitable precompiled header file for compiling applications.
- The resulting libraries are called:
-
- wx\lib\wx[version].lib(dll) (debug version)
- wx\lib\wx[version].lib(dll) (release version, using FINAL=1)
-

2. Invoke a sample makefile with 'nmake -f makefile.vc WXUSINGDLL=1'
(or edit src\makeprog.vc to set WXUSINGDLL to 1 for all
applications).
Size'. In Dialog Editor project, set to 'Customize: Favor Small
Code' (and no others). This will then work.
-Similarly, in VC++ 4, optimization can cause internal compiler
-errors, so edit src\makevc.env and change /O1 to /Od before
-trying build a release version of the library. Or, type:
-
-nmake -f makefile.vc noopt FINAL=1
-
-and then resume compilation in the normal way. This will build
-troublesome files with no optimization. However, there now seems to be
-an internal linker error using VC++ 4, in addition to internal
-compiler errors for most of the samples, so this version of the compiler
-cannot be recommended!
-
Note (4): some crash problems can be due to inconsistent compiler
options. If strange/weird/impossible things start to happen please
check (dumping IDE project file as makefile and doing text comparison
symbols, struct packing, etc. are exactly the same for all items in
the project. After this, delete everything (including PCH) and recompile.
-Note (5): for some further notes about upgrading your project
-files to be compatible with wxWindows 2.1.14, please see
-"Highlights of wxWindows 2.1.14" from the Download page of the
-web site or CD-ROM.
+Note (5): to create your own IDE files, see the technical note on the
+wxWindows web site or CD-ROM, entitled "Compiling wxWindows
+applications in the VC++ IDE" (technical note docs/tech/tn0010.htm in the
+wxWindows distribution). You can also copy .dsp and .dsw
+files from an existing wxWindows sample and adapt them.
Visual C++ 1.5 compilation (16-bit)
-----------------------------------
+NOTE: this has not been tested recently and probably doesn't
+work.
+
1. Make sure your WXWIN variable is set, and uses the FAT (short
name) form.
2. Change directory to wx\src\msw. Type 'nmake -f makefile.dos' to

+Borland C++ 4.5/5.0/5.5 compilation
-------------------------------
Compiling using the makefiles:
-1. Make sure your WXWIN variable is set, and uses the FAT (short
- name) form if doing a 16-bit compile.
-2. Change directory to wx\src\msw. Type 'make -f makefile.b32' to
+0. If downloading from CVS, copy include\wx\msw\setup0.h to
+ include\wx\setup.h.
+1. Make sure your WXWIN variable is set [e.g add
+ set WXWIN=c:\wxwindows
+ to your autoexec.bat file], and that it uses the FAT (short
+ name) form with no spaces.
+ Reboot if needed for the changes to autoexec.bat to take effect.
+2. Change directory to src\msw. Type 'make -f makefile.b32' to
make the wxWindows core library. Ignore the warnings about
'XXX' not found in library.
3. Change directory to a sample or demo such as samples\minimal, and type
'make -f makefile.b32 clean'
'make -f makefile.b32 FINAL=1'
for the library and samples.
+5. To make and use wxWindows as a DLL, type
+ 'make -f makefile.b32 clean'
+ 'make -f makefile.b32 DLL=1'
+ and then for each sample,
+ 'make -f makefile.b32 WXUSINGDLL=1'
+ Please note that the samples have not been exhaustively tested
+ with this configuration.
+
+Note (1): In Borland 4.5 and earleir, using bcc.exe you also need to define BCCDIR
+in the autoexec.bat file; like this:
+ set BCCDIR=c:\progra~1\borland\bcc
+ so that it points to the root directory of
+ your Borland C++ installation, and it uses the FAT (short
+ name) form with no spaces.
+

you will therefore need to set wxUSE_LIBJPEG to 0 in setup.h and remove
the jpeg target from src\msw\makefile.b32, and remove jpeg from
src\makeprog.b32.
-Note (6): If using C++Builder 4 and above (BC++ 5.4 and above), change LINK=tlink32 to
-LINK=ilink32 in src\makeb32.env. You may also need to disable
-wxUSE_LIBJPEG because there is a conflict in the BC++ headers
-(actually this problem seems to have gone away with 5.5 and SP1).

+more details)
+
+Borland C++Builder IDE compilation
------------------------------
-C++Builder compilation is the same as for Borland C++ above.
+1. Build the wxWindows libraries using the Borland make utility as
+ specified in the section called "Borland C++ 4.5/5.0 compilation"
+ above. (C++ Builder includes a stand-alone C++ compiler. For example,
+ C++ Builder 4.0 comes with C++ 5.4.)
-Tested with C++Builder 1.0 and 3.0. Only makefiles are currently
-supplied.
+2. You can build samples using the makefiles as per the
+ instructions for BC++ above, or you can follow the instructions
+ in docs/tech/tn0004.htm or http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/wx/bc/ide.html.
+ You can use the process_sample_bcb.bat command which is in
+ wxwindows\distrib\msw to generate a .mak or .bpr file for most of the
+ samples [mak for Cbuilder 1-3; bpr for v4]. Execute this in the sample
+ directory, passing the name of the cpp files on the command line.
Watcom C++ 10.6/11 compilation
---------------------------
1. Make sure your WXWIN variable is set, and uses the DOS short
name form.
-2. Change directory to wx\src\msw. Type 'wmake -f makefile.wat' to

-Alternatively, make sure these lines exist at the top of
-src\xpm\xpmi.h:
-
-// Added by JACS for Watcom C++/wxWindows compilation (no popen/pclose functions)
-#ifdef __WATCOMC__
-#define NO_ZPIPE
-#endif
Metrowerks CodeWarrior compilation
----------------------------------
-1. Downloaded and unzip wx2_x_y_cw.zip.
-2. Load the make_cw.mcp project in wx\src, and compile.
-3. Load the make_cw.mcp project in wx\samples\minimal, and compile.
- Further project files for samples will be available in due
- course.
+1. CodeWarrior Pro7 project files in XML format are already
+ included in wxMSW-x.y.z.zip and the setup version.
+2. Review the file include\wx\msw\setup.h (or include\wx\msw\setup0.h if
+ you are working from the CVS version) to make sure the settings reflect
+ what you want. If you aren't sure, leave it alone and go with the
+ default settings. A few notes:
+ - Don't use wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS: it doesn't mix well with MSL
+ - wxUSE_GLOBAL_MEMORY_OPERATORS works, but memory leak reports
+ will be rather confusing due to interactions with the MSL ANSI
+ and runtime libs.
+3. The project file to build the Win32 wxWindows libraries relies on the
+ Batch File Runner plug-in. This plug-in is not installed as part of
+ a normal CW7 installation. However, you can find this plug-in on the
+ CodeWarrior Reference CD, in the Thrill Seekers folder; it's call the
+ "Batch File Post Linker".
+4. If you choose not to install the Batch File Runner plug-in, then you
+ need to do the following by hand:
+ (1) Create the directories lib\cw7msw\include\wx and copy the file
+ include\wx\msw\setup.h (or include\wx\msw\setup0.h if you are
+ working from the CVS version) to lib\cw7msw\include\wx\setup.h
+ (2) Create the directories lib\cw7mswd\include\wx and copy the file
+ include\wx\msw\setup.h (or include\wx\msw\setup0.h if you are
+ working from the CVS version) to lib\cw7mswd\include\wx\setup.h
+5. Import srcwxWindows.xml to create the project file wxWindows.mcp.
+ Store this project file in directory src. You may get warnings about
+ not being able to find certain project paths; ignore these warnings, the
+ appropriate paths will be created during the build by the Batch File Runner.
+6. Choose the wxlib Win32 debug or wxlib Win32 Release target and build. You
+ will get some warnings about hidden virtual functions, illegal conversions
+ from const pointers to pointers, etc., all of which you can safely ignore.
+ ***Note: if you get errors that the compiler can't find "wx/setup.h", just
+ stop the build and build again. These errors occur because sometimes the
+ compiler starts doing its thing before the copying of setup.h has completed.
+7. The following libraries will be produced depending on chosen
+ target:
+ - wx_x86.lib ANSI Release (static)
+ - wx_x86_d.lib ANSI Debug (static)
+8. Sorry, I haven't had time yet to create and test unicode or DLL versions.
+ Volunteers for this are welcome (as neither DLLs nor unicode builds are
+ big priorities for me ;).
+9. CodeWarrior Pro7 project files (in XML format) are also provided for some
+ of the samples. In particular, for the minimal, controls, dialogs, dnd,
+ and docview samples. You can use these project files as templates for
+ the other samples and for your own projects.
-Note (1): you need CodeWarrior Pro 4 plus the patches to 4.1 from the
-Metrowerks Web site.
-
-Note (2): unfortunately these files are not yet up-to-date for the
-current release.
