-* Preparing WINE
-----------------
-
-Most C++ compilers cannot compile the WINE sources yet (this includes
-all versions of g++ and ecgs) 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 defintions", 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.

and test them concurrently. Most typically, this would be a version configured
with --enable-debug_flag and one without. Note, that only one build can currently
be installed, so you'd have to use local version of the library for that purpose.
You get errors during compilation: The reason is that you probably have a broken
compiler, which includes almost everything that is called gcc. If you use gcc 2.8

Usage:

The basic philosophy is that if you want to use different
configurations, like a debug and a release version,
i.e. if it says "--disable-threads" it means that threads
are enabled by default.

-in wxWindows snapshot 6, but not yet all (ODBC not).

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

-
- --enable-profile Add profiling info to the object

-
- --enable-no_rtti Enable compilation without creation of
- C++ RTTI information in object files.
- This will speed-up compilation and reduce

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

386SX possibly two weeks. During compilation, you'll get a few

+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.
