-Compiling wxWindows samples with the Borland CBuilder

- -This document is available online here.

- -

-Before you begin

-This refers to the 2.1.16 and 2.1.15 wxWindows distribution. It -is my account of trying to compile the samples so I can use the Borland -IDE to edit/compile/debug. I have used CBuilder 1.00 (2 patches, nice and -fast), CBuilder 3 (slower), and CBuilder 4 (more recently). - -

Make sure that the wx distribution is extracted to a path with no spaces -in it, and preferably on the root of your drive. Borland's compilers sometimes -have problems with spaces and with the long paths which occur if you try -to place it in a tree like d:\compiler\gui\wx... -

-Part 1 Build the library

-Build the wx\wx32.lib and related files using the command line compiler -
Run a command prompt in the wx/src/msw directory and type -

set wxwin=pathtowx -
set bccdir=pathtobc4 -
make -f makefile.b32 -

In my case this I extracted the wx distribution in c:\ and the -compiler is in w:\borland\cb\bin so this looks: -

set wxwin=c:\wx -
set bccdir=w:\borland\cb -
make -f makefile.b32 -

If this doesn't compile, -

-If this doesn't link, - - -

-To make the samples

- -

-Solution 1

- -Download a zip file which contains modified -cpp, mak and bpr files - it will overwrite your wx distribution cpp files! - -

-Solution 2

-Creating the files by hand. This is for the calendar sample; you will -have to change the names for the other samples - -#----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
#this is for Borland CBuilder IDE v1 and 3 -
#add a \ at the end of the lines if you editor breaks the long -lines up -
#copy this into notepad and save from there -

#define _NO_VCL -
#include "condefs.h" -
#define WinMain WinMain -
   // USEUNIT ("another.cpp"); // use a line like this -if you have more than one .cpp file -
    USERC ("calendar.rc"); -
#endif -

In CBuilder 1 you can use Open Project to open the mak file and -edit/compile/debug. -

In CBuilder 3 and 4, then you can use Open Project and choose -the Open Borland CBuilder 1 Project from the drop down file types. The -system will modify the mak file and update it for you. -

Now try compiling it in the ide. -

-Hints:

- - - -

-Solution 3

- - -I found in CBuilder 1 that the idetomak utility did not manage -to convert all the samples, but idetobpr worked OK in CBuilder -3 and 4. I have a report that not all the bpr files made in CBuilder 4 -are correct -

-Error with ODBC32

-Sometimes you get an error saying that there are unresolved externals in -ODBC. The solution is to run a command prompt in your wx\lib directory -and use the implib command: -

C:\wx\lib>implib odbc32 c:\windows\system\odbc32.dll -

This creates the necessary library, odbc32.lib -

-Unresolved Problem

-In Borland CBuilder 1.00 (with linker service patch) I frequently -get an error -

Turbo Incremental Link  Version 1.0 Copyright (c) 1997 Borland -International -
Fatal: Assertion failed: typeInx < typeCnt at "ilinkdbg.c", -line 2060 -

Fatal: Assertion failed: typeInx < typeCnt at "ilinkdbg.c", -line 2060 -

** error 2 ** deleting minimal.exe -

I have not been able to track down why sometimes this error occurs and -other times it is OK. I have not seen this in Cbuilder 3 or 4. -
