<h2>
Compiling wxWindows samples with the Borland CBuilder</h2>
-
-This document is available online <a href="http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/wx/bc/ide.html">here</a>.<P>
-
-<h2>
-Before you begin</h2>
-This refers to the <b>2.1.16</b> 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).
-
-<p>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 <tt>d:\compiler\gui\wx...</tt>
-<h2>
-Part 1 Build the library</h2>
-Build the <b>wx\wx32.lib</b> and related files using the command line compiler
-<br>Run a command prompt in the <tt>wx/src/msw</tt> directory and type
-<p><tt>set wxwin=pathtowx</tt>
-<br><tt>set bccdir=pathtobc4</tt>
-<br><tt>make -f makefile.b32</tt>
-<p>In my case this I extracted the wx distribution in <b>c:\</b> and the
-compiler is in <b>w:\borland\cb\bin</b> so this looks:
-<p><tt>set wxwin=c:\wx</tt>
-<br><tt>set bccdir=w:\borland\cb</tt>
-<br><tt>make -f makefile.b32</tt>
-<p>If this doesn't <b>compile</b>,
-<ul>
-<li>
-you've probably got the <b><tt>set wxwin</tt></b> command wrong,</li>
-
-<li>
-or the path was not set by the Borland setup</li>
-</ul>
-If this doesn't <b>link</b>,
-<ul>
-<li>
-you've probably got the <b><tt>set bccdir</tt></b> command wrong</li>
-</ul>

-To make the samples</h2>
-
-<h3>
-Solution 1</h3>
-
-<a href="http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/wx/bc/download.html">Download</a> a zip file which contains modified
-cpp, mak and bpr files - it will overwrite your wx distribution cpp files!
-
-<h3>
-Solution 2</h3>
-Creating the files by hand. This is for the calendar sample; you will
-have to change the names for the other samples
-<ul>
-<li>
-Create a calendar.mak file [must have the same name as the cpp file] in
-a plain text editor with <a href="http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/wx/bc/calendar.mak">these contents</a></li>:
-</ul>
-<tt>#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------</tt>
-<br><tt>#this is for Borland CBuilder IDE v1 and 3</tt>
-<br><tt>#add a \ at the end of the lines if you editor breaks the long
-lines up</tt>
-<br><tt>#copy this into notepad and save from there</tt>
-<br><tt>#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------</tt>
-<br><tt>!ifndef BCB</tt>
-<br><tt>BCB = $(MAKEDIR)\..</tt>
-<br><tt>!endif</tt>
-<br><tt>PROJECT = calendar.exe</tt>
-<br><tt>OBJFILES =</tt>
-<br><tt>RESFILES = calendar.res</tt>
-<br><tt>RESDEPEN = $(RESFILES)</tt>
-<br><tt>LIBFILES =</tt>

-<br><tt>CFLAG1 = -Od -v -a1 -c</tt>
-<br><tt># -Od disable optimisations -v debug -a1 byte align -c compile

-<br>
-<p><tt>#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------</tt>
-<br><tt>$(PROJECT): $(OBJFILES) $(RESDEPEN)</tt>
-<p><tt>#end of file</tt>
-<br>
-<ul>
-<li>
- modify the .cpp file to include
-<a href="http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/wx/bc/calendar_include.cpp">these lines</a>
-near the top</li>
-</ul>
-<tt>#ifdef __BIDE__</tt>
-<br><tt>#define _NO_VCL</tt>
-<br><tt>#include "condefs.h"</tt>
-<br><tt>#define WinMain WinMain</tt>
-<br><tt> // USEUNIT ("another.cpp"); // use a line like this
-if you have more than one .cpp file</tt>
-<br><tt> USERC ("calendar.rc");</tt>
-<br><tt>#endif</tt>
-<br>
-<p>In CBuilder 1 you can use <b>Open Project</b> to open the mak file and
-edit/compile/debug.
-<p>In CBuilder 3 and 4, then you can use <b>Open Project</b> 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.
-<p>Now try compiling it in the ide.
-<h4>
-Hints:</h4>
-
-<ul>
-<li>
-You can set it up for normal and debug modes (change the -v switch in CFLAG1
-and LFLAG)</li>
-
-<li>
-If you get problems saying Project undefined, then copy the text using
-a simple editor like notepad to the file minimal.mak (I have had problems
-in CBuilder 1.00 with Unix style line endings)</li>
-
-<li>
-If you want to avoid the warnings about hiding virtual methods add
-<b><tt>-w-hid</tt></b> to the CFLAG1 line</li>
-
-<li>
-the #define WinMain WinMain line allows CBuilder to think it has a non-VCL
-<tt>main</tt> function</li>
-
-<li>
-the USEUNIT macros tell CBuilder which other source files to include, without
-needing a VCL form</li>
-
-<li>
-the condefs.h file defines the USEUNIT macros for non-VCL use</li>
-
-<li>
-For the other samples, change the names of the cpp and rc files. If you
-have multiple files, just add more USEUNIT and USERC macros</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h3>
-Solution 3</h3>
-
-<ul>
-<li>
-download the wxWindows-2.1.16-bcb.zip file,</li>
-
-<li>
-extract it</li>
-
-<li>
-use the <b><tt>idetomak</tt></b> (CBuilder 1) or <b><tt>idetobpr</tt></b>
-(CBuilder 3/4) utility on the <b><tt>.ide</tt></b> file in the samples
-directory. This modifies the cpp source and makes a "suitable" mak or bpr file
-(at least in CBuilder 1/3/4).</li>
-
-<li>
-add the location of the wx/include files in the project | options
-| directory dialog</li>
-</ul>
-I found in CBuilder 1 that the <tt>idetomak</tt> utility did not manage
-to convert all the samples, but <tt>idetobpr</tt> worked OK in CBuilder
-3 and 4. I have a report that not all the bpr files made in CBuilder 4
-are correct
-<h2>
-Error with ODBC32</h2>
-Sometimes you get an error saying that there are unresolved externals in
-ODBC. The solution is to run a command prompt in your <b><tt>wx\lib</tt></b> directory
-and use the <b><tt>implib</tt></b> command:
-<p><tt>C:\wx\lib><b>implib odbc32 c:\windows\system\odbc32.dll</b></tt>
-<p>This creates the necessary library, odbc32.lib
-<h2>
-Unresolved Problem</h2>
-<tt>In Borland CBuilder 1.00 (with linker service patch) I frequently
-get an error</tt>
-<p><tt>Turbo Incremental Link Version 1.0 Copyright (c) 1997 Borland
-International</tt>
-<br><tt>Fatal: Assertion failed: typeInx < typeCnt at "ilinkdbg.c",
-line 2060</tt>
-<br><tt>Fatal: Access violation. Program terminated.</tt>
-<br><tt>Error: Internal failure -- retrying link...</tt>
-<br><tt>Fatal: Assertion failed: typeInx < typeCnt at "ilinkdbg.c",
-line 2060</tt>
-<br><tt>Fatal: Access violation. Program terminated.</tt>
-<p><tt>** error 2 ** deleting minimal.exe</tt>
-<p>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.

Using and modifying the BC++ IDE files
======================================
-Readme for wxWindows 2.0 Ide-files
-First release Feb. 1999, detlev@reymann-online.de
-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 2.5.0
-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 Borland's
-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.
