-1. What you can do with the BC++ IDE files
-2. Where to install the files
-3. How to modify them for your own needs
-4. How to create IDE files for your own wxWindows-programs
+Please use wxWindows 2.4.x - this is not currently supported in wxWindows 2.5.1
-1. What you can do with the IDE files
-=====================================
-There are two IDE files. src\bc32.ide should help you to
-create the wxWindows libraries from within the Ide of Borlands
-C++, v. 5.x. Note that this doesn't include debugging code: you
-need to change the settings if you wish to include debug
-information. Previously, bc32d.ide was supplied with debug
-settings, but this proved to time-consuming to maintain.
-2. Where to install the files
-=============================
-
-You should copy the files for the libraries into the
-src-directory of your wxWindows-Installation (e.g. C:\wxwin\src).
-And the other file for the samples should be copied into the
-samples-directory (e.g. C:\wxwin\samples).
-
-(If installing from setup.exe or wx2..._bc.zip the files
-will be installed into the appropriate directories
-automatically).
-
-3. How to modify them for your own needs
-========================================
-
-If your wxWindows-Installation resides on the same drive as your
-Borland-Compiler and additionally the Borland-Installation is
-the default (e.g. C:\BC5) then there should be no need to change
-anything. Otherwise please change the path from within the ide
-(Options->project->directories). Because we use the
-$inherit-macro (Julian found the trick), this should work.
-
-To add a new sample to samples\bc32.ide, follow these steps:
-
-1. Choose Project->New target... and type in e.g.
- samples\newsample. Press OK.
-2. Static, no OWL, MFC or class libraries. Check Multithread
- on. Press OK.
-3. Right-click on the new node, choose Add node... and add
- ..\lib\wx32.lib and ..\lib\xpm.lib. Add any other source
- files you require.
-4. Right-click on the new node, choose Edit Local Options.. and
- add in Directories, specify the following:
-
- Include: $inherit;.\newsample
- Library: $inherit;
- Source: .\newsample
- Intermediate: .\newsample
- Final: .\newsample
-
-4. How to create IDE files for your own wxWindows-programs
-==========================================================
-
-If you want to create an IDE file for your own wxWindows program,
-please follow these steps.
-
-1. Create a new project from the menu file->new->project.
-2. Deactivate all the standard-options, the only three things
- that should be activated are "static" for the libraries,
- the checkbox OLE (you can leave this checkbox unchecked,
- but then you have to add the library \bc5\lib\ole2w32.lib
- to your project), and the Multithread checkbox.
-3. Add the include-path of wxWindows to the include-path in the
- options-dialog (options->project->directories->include). The
- result should be something like:
- path_of_my_program;\bc5\include;\wxwin2\include;
-4. Add the libraries to the project. Open the project-view and
- activate your program. Then right-click and choose "add" and
- select the wxWindows library (e.g. \wxwin\lib\wx32.lib). Also
- add the xpm library.
