* The expert case

If you want to do some more serious cross-platform programming with wxWindows,
such as for GTK and Motif, you can now build two complete libraries and use
-them concurretly. For this end, you have to create a directory for each build

of wxWindows - you may also want to create different versions of wxWindows
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
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

If there is just any way for you to use egcs, use egcs. We cannot fix gcc.

Usage:
- ./configure options

If you want to use system's C and C++ compiler,
set environment variables CC and CCC as
- % setenv CC cc

- % ./configure options

to see all the options please use:

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.

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-mem_tracing Add built-in memory tracing.

- --enable-dmalloc Use the dmalloc memory debugger.

Apart from disabling certain features you can very often "strip"
the program of its debugging information resulting in a significant
reduction in size.

the library by typing:

+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.
