Open src/wxWindows.dsp, which has configurations for static + compilation or DLL compilation, and each of these available in + Unicode/ANSI and Debug/Release variations. Normally you'll use + a static linking ANSI configuration. Choose the Win32 Debug or + Win32 Release configuration for the wxWindows project, and compile. + Alternatively, use Batch Build to build more than one + configuration. + The following libraries will be produced depending on chosen + configuration: + + wxmsw.lib wxmswd.lib ; ANSI Release/Debug + wxmswu.lib wxmswud.lib ; UNICODE Release/Debug + wxmsw23x.lib wxmsw23xd.lib ; ANSI DLL Release/Debug + wxmsw23xu.lib wxmsw23xud.lib ; UNICODE DLL Release/Debug + + It will also produce similar variations on jpeg.lib, png.lib, + tiff.lib, zlib.lib, and regex.lib. +3. Open a sample project file, choose a configuration such as + Win32 Debug using Build | Set Active Configuration..., and compile. + The project files don't use precompiled headers, to save disk space, but you can switch PCH compiling on for greater speed. + NOTE: you may also use samples/samples.dsw to access all + sample projects without opening each workspace individually. + You can use the Batch Build facility to make several samples + at a time.

This problem + doesn't occur when using project files to build wxWindows. + + Note that the wxWindows core library allows you to have debug + and release libraries available simultaneously, by compiling the + objects in different subdirectories, whereas samples must be + cleaned and re-made to build a different configuration. + +To build the DLL version using makefiles: + +1.

Without this, the redefinition of 'new' will cause problems in the headers. Alternatively, #undef new before including template headers. - -Visual C++ 1.5 compilation --------------------------- +You will also need to set wxUSE_IOSTREAMH to 0 if you will be +using templates, to avoid the non-template stream files being included +within wxWindows. + +Note (2): libraries and applications generated with makefiles and +project files are now (hopefully) compatible where static libraries +are concerned, but please exercise caution nevertheless and if +possible, use one method or the other. + +Note (3): VC++ 5's optimization code seems to be broken and can +cause both compile and run-time problems: this can be seen when +deleting an object Dialog Editor, in Release mode with optimizations +on. If in doubt, switch off optimisations, although this will result in much +larger executables. It seems possible that the library can be created with +strong optimization, so long as the application is not strongly +optimized. For example, in wxWindows project, set to 'Minimum +Size'. In Dialog Editor project, set to 'Customize: Favor Small +Code' (and no others). This will then work. + +Note (4): some crash problems can be due to inconsistent compiler +options.

The compiler must be installed to a path that does not contain + spaces, such as c:\Borland\Bcc55 (in particular, do not install + it below "C:\Program Files"). + +2. Make sure that you downloaded and installed the service pack 1 + for Borland C++ 5.5. This SP1 can be downloaded from: + http://www.borland.com/devsupport/bcppbuilder/patches/#freecompiler55 + + IMPORTANT: + When installing SP1, make sure that you extract (UnZip) the files + to the directory where you installed Borland C++ 5.5 (e.g., + c:\Borland\Bcc55) with the option "use folder names" selected. + This is necessary, to ensure that the files (mostly include files) + are extracted to the right directory. + +3. Create the following two files in the same directory where you + installed Borland C++ 5.5 (e.g., c:\Borland\Bcc55): + + a. bcc32.cfg + text file containing the following two lines: + -I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\include" + -L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib" + + b. ilink32.cfg + text file containing the following line: + -L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib" + + (replace c:\Borland\Bcc55 with the actual path where you installed + Borland C++ 5.5) + +4. Add the borland BIN directory to your path (e.g., c:\Borland\Bcc55\bin), + and define the environment variable BCCDIR= + (e.g., set BCCDIR=c:\Borland\Bcc55) + +Compiling wxWindows: + +Once the compiler and its service pack are properly installed, you build +wxWindows using the provided makefile.b32 in the src/msw directory: + +a. To build wxWindows in DEBUG mode: + + cd c:\wx2\src\msw + make -f makefile.b32 + + (replace c:\wx2 with the actual path where you installed wxWindows) + +b. To build wxWindows in RELEASE mode: + + cd c:\wx2\src\msw + make -f makefile.b32 FINAL=1 + + (if you had previously built wxWindows, you need to clean all of + the object and intermediate files. Before the above make command, + run: 'make -f makefile.b32 CLEANALL') + +IMPORTANT: +The Service Pack 1 for Borland C++ 5.5 must be installed before wxWindows +is compiled. If you compiled wxWindows before, it is advised that you +re-compile it following the next steps: + + cd c:\wx2\src\msw + make -f makefile.b32 CLEANALL + make -f makefile.b32 (or make -f makefile.b32 FINAL=1) + + (replace c:\wx2 with the actual path where you installed wxWindows) + +** REMEMBER ** + +In all of your wxWindows applications, your source code should include +the following preprocessor directive: + +#ifdef __BORLANDC__ +#pragma hdrstop +#endif + +(check the samples -- e.g., \wx2\samples\minimal\minimal.cpp -- for +more details) + Borland C++Builder compilation ------------------------------ -C++Builder compilation is the same as for Borland C++ above. -It has only been tested with C++Builder 1.0 so far, and no -project files are currently supplied. +1.
