III) Windows using configure ---------------------------------------- -No idea.. +Take a look at Unix->Windows cross compiling. With minor +modifications, this should work in Windows if you've got the cygnus +utilities (bash, GNU make, etc) and either mingw32 or cygwin32 installed. +See http://www.cygnus.com for these programs, or go straight to their +ftp server at ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/. +Of course, you can also build the library using plain makefiles (see +section I). -IV) Unix using configure +IV) Classic MacOS using CodeWarrior (eg MacOS 8.x/9.x) ---------------------------------------- -a) You have all the newest and greatest GNU tools installed on your system -and in the same directory hierachy (e.g. either all tools in /usr or all -in /usr/local), these tools are: -- GNU libtool 1.2e (1.3 doesn't work here) -- GNU autoconf 2.13 (including autoheader 2.13) -- GNU automake 1.4 (including aclocal 1.4) -and possibly but not forcibly -- GNU make 3.76.1 -- GNU C++ (EGCS) +Refer to the readme.txt and install.txt files in docs/mac to build +wxWindows under Classic Mac OS using CodeWarrior. --> Go to the base directory --> type: ./autogen.sh +If you are checking out the CVS sources using cvs under Mac OS X and +compiling under Classic Mac OS, make sure that all text files have a +Mac OS type of 'TEXT' otherwise CodeWarrior may ignore them. Checking +out the CVS sources using cvs under Mac OS X creates untyped files +which can lead to compialtion errors under CodeWarrior which are hard +to track down. -b) You don't know what autos are and have no driver's licence anyway: +V) MacOS X using configure and the Developer Tools +---------------------------------------- --> Go to the testconf directory --> type: ./apply +You need to have the Developer Tools installed. If this is not the case, +you will need to register at the Apple Developer web site (this is a free +registration) in order to download the Developer Tools installer. -a+b) Then proceed in either case with: +In order to create configure, you need to have the +GNU autoconf package (version 2.13 or 2.14) installed +on your system and type run "autoconf" in the base +directory (or run the autogen.sh script in the same +directory, which just calls autoconf). --> Choose a directory name that seems fit for building wxWindows, e.g. mybuild --> Go the base directory --> type: mkdir mybuild --> type: cd mybuild --> type: ../configure --with-gtk -or type: ../configure --with-motif -or type: ../configure --with-wine --> type make --> drink lots of coffee and go shopping +-> type: mkdir macbuild +-> type: cd macbuild +-> type: ../configure --with-mac +or type: ../configure +-> type: make - -V) MacOS +VI) OS/2 ---------------------------------------- -V) OS/2 ----------------------------------------- +VII) Unix->Windows cross-compiling using configure +-------------------------------------------------- + +First you'll need a cross-compiler; linux glibc binaries of mingw32 and +cygwin32 (both based on egcs) can be found at +ftp://ftp.objsw.com/pub/crossgcc/linux-x-win32. Alternative binaries, +based on the latest MinGW release can be found at +http://members.telering.at/jessich/mingw/mingwcross/mingw_cross.html +Otherwise you can compile one yourself. + +[ A Note about cygwin32 and mingw32: the main difference is that cygwin32 +binaries are always linked against cygwin.dll. This dll encapsulates most +standard Unix C extensions, which is very handy if you're porting unix +software to windows. However, wxMSW doesn't need this, so mingw32 is +preferable if you write portable C(++). ] + +You might want to build both Unix and Windows binaries in the same source +tree; to do this make subdirs for each e.g. unix and win32. If you've +already build wxWindows in the main dir, do a 'make distclean' there, +otherwise configure will get confused. (In any case, read the section 'Unix +using configure' and make sure you're able to build a native wxWindows +library; cross-compiling errors can be pretty obscure and you'll want to be +sure that your configure setup is basically sound.) + +To cross compile the windows library, do +-> cd win32 +(or whatever you called it) +Now run configure. There are two ways to do this +-> ../configure --host=i586-mingw32 --build=i586-linux --with-mingw +where --build= should read whatever platform you're building on. Configure +will notice that build and host platforms differ, and automatically prepend +i586-mingw32- to gcc, ar, ld, etc (make sure they're in the PATH!). +The other way to run configure is by specifying the names of the binaries +yourself: +-> CC=i586-mingw32-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32-g++ RANLIB=i586-mingw32-ranlib \ + DLLTOOL=i586-mingw32-dlltool LD=i586-mingw32-ld NM=i586-mingw32-nm \ + ../configure --host=i586-mingw32 --with-mingw + +(all assuming you're using mingw32) +By default this will compile a DLL, if you want a static library, +specify --disable-shared. + +Type +-> make +and wait, wait, wait. Don't leave the room, because the minute you do there +will be a compile error :-) + +NB: if you are using a very old compiler you risk to get quite a few warnings + about "ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from 'void *'" in all places + where va_arg macro is used. This is due to a bug in (some versions of) + mingw32 headers which may be corrected by upgrading your compier, + otherwise you might edit the file + + ${install_prefix}/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mingw32/egcs-2.91.57/include/stdarg.h + + (instead of egcs-2.91.57 you may have something different), searching for + the lines + +/* Define __gnuc_va_list. */ + +#ifndef __GNUC_VA_LIST +#define __GNUC_VA_LIST +#if defined(__svr4__) || defined(_AIX) || defined(_M_UNIX) || defined(__NetBSD__) +typedef char *__gnuc_va_list; +#else +typedef void *__gnuc_va_list; +#endif +#endif + + and adding "|| defined(_WIN32)" to the list of platforms on which + __gnuc_va_list is char *. + +If this is successful, you end up with a wx23_2.dll/libwx23_2.a in win32/lib +( or just libwx_msw.a if you opted for a static build ). +Now try building the minimal sample: + +-> cd samples/minimal +-> make + +and run it with wine, for example (or copy to a Windows box) +-> wine minimal.exe + +If all is well, do an install; from win32 +-> make install + +Native and cross-compiled installations can co-exist peacefully +(as long as their widget sets differ), except for wx-config. You might +want to rename the cross-compiled one to i586-mingw32-wx-config, or something. + +Cross-compiling TODO: +--------------------- +- resource compiling must be done manually for now (should/can we link the +default wx resources into libwx_msw.a?) [ No we can't; the linker won't +link it in... you have to supply an object file ] +- static executables are HUGE -- there must be room for improvement.
