IMPORTANT NOTE: If you experience problems installing, please
re-read this instructions and other related files (changes.txt,
with the makefiles. See also the demos hierarchy which doesn't
have any BC++ project files yet.

some samples) you need to compile them with bc32.ide.
Note (3): the debug version of the wxWindows library is about 40 MB, and the

for Borland C++ 5.5. This SP1 can be downloaded from:

IMPORTANT:
When installing SP1, make sure that you extract (UnZip) the files
Note (3): if Watcom can't read the precompiled header when
building a sample, try deleting src\msw\watcom.pch and
compiling the sample again.
-Note (4): if you get _popen_ and _pclose_ link errors, try
-recompiling wxWindows with XPM support disabled in setup.h.

improving the compiler.

Both Cygwin and Mingw32 (the minimal distribution of Cygwin) can be used
with the same makefiles.
- Retrieve and install the latest beta of Cygwin, or Mingw32, as per the
instructions with either of these packages.
-- If using Mingw32 (including the EGCS variant), you need some
- extra files to use the wxWindows makefiles. You can find these
- files in ports/mingw32 on the ftp site or CD-ROM, as extra.zip.
- These should be extracted to the Mingw32 directory.
