-------------------------------
Compiling using the makefiles:
0. If downloading from CVS, copy include\wx\msw\setup0.h to
include\wx\setup.h.
-1. Make sure your WXWIN variable is set, and uses the FAT (short
- name) form if doing a 16-bit compile.
+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.
+ Make sure your BCCDIR variable is set [e.g add
+ set BCCDIR=c:\progra~1\borland\bcc
+ to your autoexec.bat file], and that it points to the root directory of
+ your Borland C++ installation, and 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 wx\src\msw. Type 'make -f makefile.b32' to
make the wxWindows core library. Ignore the warnings about
'XXX' not found in library.
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).
+Note (6): [obsolete]
Note (7): If you wish debug messages to be sent to the console in
debug mode, edit src\makeb32.env and change /aa to /Tpe in
LINK_FLAGS.

-Borland C++ 5.5 compilation
----------------------------
-
-Before compiling wxWindows with Borland C++ 5.5, there are a few
-issues concerning the compiler installation:
-
-1. The compiler must be installed to a path that does not contain
- spaces, such as c:\Borland\Bcc55 (in particular, do not install
- it below "C:\Program Files").
-
-2. Make sure that you downloaded and installed the service pack 1
- for Borland C++ 5.5. This SP1 can be downloaded from:
- http://www.borland.com/devsupport/bcppbuilder/patches/#freecompiler55
-
- IMPORTANT:
- When installing SP1, make sure that you extract (UnZip) the files
- to the directory where you installed Borland C++ 5.5 (e.g.,
- c:\Borland\Bcc55) with the option "use folder names" selected.
- This is necessary, to ensure that the files (mostly include files)
- are extracted to the right directory.
-
-3. Create the following two files in the same directory where you
- installed Borland C++ 5.5 (e.g., c:\Borland\Bcc55):
-
- a. bcc32.cfg
- text file containing the following two lines:
- -I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\include"
- -L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"
-
- b. ilink32.cfg
- text file containing the following line:
- -L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"
-
- (replace c:\Borland\Bcc55 with the actual path where you installed
- Borland C++ 5.5)
-
-4. Add the borland BIN directory to your path (e.g., c:\Borland\Bcc55\bin),
- and define the environment variable BCCDIR=<Borland C++ 5.5 path>
- (e.g., set BCCDIR=c:\Borland\Bcc55)
-
-Compiling wxWindows:
-
-Once the compiler and its service pack are properly installed, you build
-wxWindows using the provided makefile.b32 in the src/msw directory:
-
-a. To build wxWindows in DEBUG mode:
-
- cd c:\wx2\src\msw
- make -f makefile.b32
-
- (replace c:\wx2 with the actual path where you installed wxWindows)
-
-b. To build wxWindows in RELEASE mode:
-
- cd c:\wx2\src\msw
- make -f makefile.b32 FINAL=1
-
- (if you had previously built wxWindows, you need to clean all of
- the object and intermediate files. Before the above make command,
- run: 'make -f makefile.b32 CLEANALL')
-
-IMPORTANT:
-The Service Pack 1 for Borland C++ 5.5 must be installed before wxWindows
-is compiled. If you compiled wxWindows before, it is advised that you
-re-compile it following the next steps:
-
- cd c:\wx2\src\msw
- make -f makefile.b32 CLEANALL
- make -f makefile.b32 (or make -f makefile.b32 FINAL=1)
-
- (replace c:\wx2 with the actual path where you installed wxWindows)
-
** REMEMBER **
In all of your wxWindows applications, your source code should include
(check the samples -- e.g., \wx2\samples\minimal\minimal.cpp -- for
more details)

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.

---------------------------
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
+2. Change directory to wx\src\msw. Type 'wmake -f makefile.wat all' to
