IMPORTANT NOTE:
When sending bug reports tell us what version of wxWindows you are
using (including the beta) and what compiler on what system. One

First steps
-----------
- Prerequisites: Motif 1.2 or above, or Lesstif
(not yet tested). Motif 2.0 and above may also be suitable.
-- Download the appropriate .tgz archive, or alternatively the files
- wx200gen.zip and wx200mot.zip. Download documentation in a preferred format,
- such as wx200htm.zip or wx200pdf.zip.
+- Download wxMotif-x.y.z.tgz, where x.y.z is the version number.
+ Download documentation in a preferred format, such as
+ wxWindows-HTML.zip or wxWindows-PDF.zip.
- Make a directory such as ~/wx and unarchive the files into this
- directory. If using the zip archives, use the -a option if available
- to convert the ASCII files to Unix format. Don't worry about files being
- overwritten: they should be identical anyway.

- It is recommended that you install bison and flex; using yacc
and lex may require tweaking of the makefiles. You also need
ldconfig

+* Building wxGTK on OS/2
+--------------------------
+
+Please send comments and question about the OS/2 installation
+to Andrea Venturoli <a.ventu@flashnet.it> and patches to
+the wxWindows mailing list.
+
+You'll need OS/2 Warp (4.00FP#6), X-Free86/2 (3.3.3 or newer),
+Lesstif (0.89.1 or newer), emx (0.9d fix 1), flex (2.5.4),
+yacc (1.8), unix like shell, e.g. korn shell (5.2.13),
+Autoconf (2.13), GNU file utilities (3.6),
+GNU text utilities (1.3), GNU shell utilites (1.12), m4 (1.4),
+sed (2.05), grep (2.0), Awk (3.0.3), GNU Make (3.76.1).
+
+Open an OS/2 prompt and switch to the directory above.
+First set some global environment variables we need:
+
+SET CXXFLAGS=-Zmtd -D__ST_MT_ERRNO__
+SET CFLAGS=-Zmtd -D__ST_MT_ERRNO__
+SET OSTYPE=OS2X
+SET COMSPEC=sh
+
+Notice you can choose whatever you want, if you don't like OS2X.
+
+Now, run autoconf in the main directory and in the samples, demos
+and utils subdirectory. This will generate the OS/2 specific
+versions of the configure scripts. Now run
+ configure --with-motif
+as described above.
+
+To verify Lesstif installation, configure will try to compile a
+sample program that requires X headers/libraries to be either
+available via C_INCLUDE_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH or you need to
+explicitly set CFLAGS prior to running configure.
+
+If you have pthreads library installed, it will be autodetected
+and the library will be compiled with thread-support.
+
+Note that configure assumes your flex will generate files named
+"lexyy.c", not "lex.yy.c". If you have a version which does
+generate "lex.yy.c", you need to manually change the generated
+makefile.
* Building wxMotif on SGI
--------------------------
Usage:
./configure options
-`
+
If you want to use system's C and C++ compiler,
-set environment variables CC and CCC as
+set environment variables CXX and CC as
% setenv CC cc
- % setenv CCC CC
+ % setenv CXX CC
% ./configure options
to see all the options please use:
Using this way, a make file for the minimal sample would look
like this
-CC = g++
+CXX = g++
minimal: minimal.o
- $(CC) -o minimal minimal.o `wx-config --libs`
+ $(CXX) -o minimal minimal.o `wx-config --libs`
minimal.o: minimal.cpp mondrian.xpm
- $(CC) `wx-config --cflags` -c minimal.cpp -o minimal.o
+ $(CXX) `wx-config --cflags` -c minimal.cpp -o minimal.o
clean:
rm -f *.o minimal
