- How to build the sources from SVN\r
-------------------------------------------------------------------------\r
-\r
-Please use the install.txt files in docs/gtk, docs/msw, docs/motif, docs/mac\r
-etc. alongside these instructions.\r
-\r
-I) Windows using plain makefiles\r
-----------------------------------------\r
-\r
-a) If using Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 or 6.0\r
-\r
-Ensure that the command-line compiler and tools (including\r
-nmake) are installed and ready to run. Depending on your\r
-installation there may be a batch file (commonly named VCVARS32.BAT)\r
-that needs to be run to set correct environment variables and PATH entries.\r
-\r
-Continue with item c) below.\r
-\r
-\r
-b) If using the MinGW or Cygwin compilers\r
-\r
-You can get MinGW from http://www.mingw.org/\r
-\r
-Cygwin is available at http://www.cygwin.com/\r
-\r
-If you are using Cygwin or MinGW together with the MSYS environment, you\r
-can build the library using configure (see "Unix ports" and\r
-"Windows using configure" below). You can also\r
-build wxWidgets without configure using native makefile, but only with\r
-MinGW. Using Cygwin together with Windows makefile is no longer supported.\r
-\r
-If building with MinGW without configure:\r
-\r
--> Set your path so that it includes the directory\r
- where your compiler and tools reside\r
-\r
--> Make sure you have GNU Make installed. It must be Windows native version.\r
- Download it from http://www.mingw.org, the executable will be called\r
- mingw32-make.exe.\r
-\r
--> Modern version of MinGW is required; preferably MinGW 2.0 (with gcc3),\r
- but MinGW with gcc-2.95.3 will suffice. If you are using 2.95, you will\r
- have to change variable GCC_VERSION in config.gcc (see msw/install.txt\r
- for details).\r
-\r
-If using configure, Unix instructions apply.\r
-\r
-\r
-c) Build instructions\r
-\r
-Assuming that you installed the wxWidgets sources into c:\wxWidgets:\r
-\r
--> Copy c:\wxWidgets\include\wx\msw\setup0.h\r
- to c:\wxWidgets\include\wx\msw\setup.h\r
--> Edit c:\wxWidgets\include\wx\msw\setup.h to choose\r
- the features you would like to compile wxWidgets with[out].\r
-\r
- and std iostreams are disabled with\r
- #define wxUSE_STD_IOSTREAM 0\r
-\r
--> type: cd c:\wxWidgets\build\msw\r
--> type: make -f makefile.gcc (if using GNU tools)\r
-or type: nmake -f makefile.vc (if using MS VC++)\r
-etc.\r
-\r
- See also docs/msw/install.txt for additional compilation options.\r
-\r
-d) Borland (including free command line tools)\r
- Download tools from http://www.borland.com/downloads/\r
-\r
- See docs/msw/install.txt for details; in brief:\r
-\r
--> type cd c:\wxWidgets\build\msw\r
--> type make -f makefile.bcc\r
-\r
-You can customize many things in the build process, detailed description is\r
-in docs/msw/install.txt.\r
-\r
-\r
-II) Unix ports\r
---------------\r
-\r
-Building wxGTK or wxMotif completely without configure\r
-won't ever work, but there is now a new makefile system\r
-that works without libtool and automake, using only\r
-configure to create what is needed.\r
-\r
-In order to create configure, you need to have the\r
-GNU autoconf package (version > 2.54) installed\r
-on your system and type run "autoconf" in the base\r
-directory (or run the autogen.sh script in the same\r
-directory, which just calls autoconf). Note that you usually don't\r
-need to do this because configure is included in SVN.\r
-\r
-Set WXWIN environment variable to the base directory such\r
-as ~/wxWidgets (this is actually not really needed).\r
-\r
--> type: export WXWIN=~/wxWidgets\r
--> type: md mybuild\r
--> type: cd mybuild\r
--> type: ../configure --with-motif\r
-or type: ../configure --with-gtk\r
--> type: make\r
--> type: su <type root password>\r
--> type: make install\r
--> type: ldconfig\r
--> type: exit\r
-\r
-Call configure with --disable-shared to create a static\r
-library. Calling "make uninstall" will remove the installed\r
-library and "make dist" will create a distribution (not\r
-yet complete).\r
-\r
-III) Windows using configure\r
-----------------------------------------\r
-\r
-wxWidgets can be built on Windows using MSYS (see\r
-http://www.mingw.org/), which is a POSIX build environment\r
-for Windows. With MSYS you can just ./configure && make (see also VII,\r
-Unix->Windows cross-compiling using configure).\r
-\r
-Of course, you can also build the library using plain makefiles (see\r
-section I).\r
-\r
-V) MacOS X using configure and the Developer Tools\r
-----------------------------------------\r
-\r
-You need to have the Developer Tools installed. If this is not the case,\r
-you will need to register at the Apple Developer web site (this is a free\r
-registration) in order to download the Developer Tools installer.\r
-\r
-In order to create configure, you need to have the\r
-GNU autoconf package (version >= 2.54) installed\r
-on your system and type run "autoconf" in the base\r
-directory (or run the autogen.sh script in the same\r
-directory, which just calls autoconf).\r
-\r
--> type: mkdir macbuild\r
--> type: cd macbuild\r
--> type: ../configure --with-mac\r
-or type: ../configure\r
--> type: make\r
-\r
-VI) OS/2\r
-----------------------------------------\r
-No notes.\r
-\r
-VII) Unix->Windows cross-compiling using configure\r
---------------------------------------------------\r
-\r
-First you'll need a cross-compiler; linux glibc binaries of MinGW and\r
-Cygwin (both based on egcs) can be found at\r
-ftp://ftp.objsw.com/pub/crossgcc/linux-x-win32. Alternative binaries,\r
-based on the latest MinGW release can be found at\r
-http://members.telering.at/jessich/mingw/mingwcross/mingw_cross.html\r
-Otherwise you can compile one yourself.\r
-\r
-[ A Note about Cygwin and MinGW: the main difference is that Cygwin\r
-binaries are always linked against cygwin.dll. This dll encapsulates most\r
-standard Unix C extensions, which is very handy if you're porting unix\r
-software to windows. However, wxMSW doesn't need this, so MinGW is\r
-preferable if you write portable C(++). ]\r
-\r
-You might want to build both Unix and Windows binaries in the same source\r
-tree; to do this make subdirs for each e.g. unix and win32. If you've\r
-already build wxWidgets in the main dir, do a 'make distclean' there,\r
-otherwise configure will get confused. (In any case, read the section 'Unix\r
-using configure' and make sure you're able to build a native wxWidgets\r
-library; cross-compiling errors can be pretty obscure and you'll want to be\r
-sure that your configure setup is basically sound.)\r
-\r
-To cross compile the windows library, do\r
--> cd win32\r
-(or whatever you called it)\r
-Now run configure. There are two ways to do this\r
--> ../configure --host=i586-mingw32 --build=i586-linux --with-mingw\r
-where --build= should read whatever platform you're building on. Configure\r
-will notice that build and host platforms differ, and automatically prepend\r
-i586-mingw32- to gcc, ar, ld, etc (make sure they're in the PATH!).\r
-The other way to run configure is by specifying the names of the binaries\r
-yourself:\r
--> CC=i586-mingw32-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32-g++ RANLIB=i586-mingw32-ranlib \\r
- DLLTOOL=i586-mingw32-dlltool LD=i586-mingw32-ld NM=i586-mingw32-nm \\r
- ../configure --host=i586-mingw32 --with-mingw\r
-\r
-(all assuming you're using MinGW)\r
-By default this will compile a DLL, if you want a static library,\r
-specify --disable-shared.\r
-\r
-Type\r
--> make\r
-and wait, wait, wait. Don't leave the room, because the minute you do there\r
-will be a compile error :-)\r
-\r
-NB: if you are using a very old compiler you risk to get quite a few warnings\r
- about "ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from 'void *'" in all places\r
- where va_arg macro is used. This is due to a bug in (some versions of)\r
- MinGW headers which may be corrected by upgrading your compier,\r
- otherwise you might edit the file\r
-\r
- ${install_prefix}/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mingw32/egcs-2.91.57/include/stdarg.h\r
-\r
- (instead of egcs-2.91.57 you may have something different), searching for\r
- the lines\r
-\r
-/* Define __gnuc_va_list. */\r
-\r
-#ifndef __GNUC_VA_LIST\r
-#define __GNUC_VA_LIST\r
-#if defined(__svr4__) || defined(_AIX) || defined(_M_UNIX) || defined(__NetBSD__)\r
-typedef char *__gnuc_va_list;\r
-#else\r
-typedef void *__gnuc_va_list;\r
-#endif\r
-#endif\r
-\r
- and adding "|| defined(_WIN32)" to the list of platforms on which\r
- __gnuc_va_list is char *.\r
-\r
-If this is successful, you end up with a wx23_2.dll/libwx23_2.a in win32/lib\r
-(or just libwx_msw.a if you opted for a static build).\r
-Now try building the minimal sample:\r
-\r
--> cd samples/minimal\r
--> make\r
-\r
-and run it with wine, for example (or copy to a Windows box)\r
--> wine minimal.exe\r
-\r
-If all is well, do an install; from win32\r
--> make install\r
-\r
-Native and cross-compiled installations can co-exist peacefully\r
-(as long as their widget sets differ), except for wx-config. You might\r
-want to rename the cross-compiled one to i586-mingw32-wx-config, or something.\r
-\r
-Cross-compiling TODO:\r
----------------------\r
-- resource compiling must be done manually for now (should/can we link the\r
-default wx resources into libwx_msw.a?) [ No we can't; the linker won't\r
-link it in... you have to supply an object file ]\r
-- static executables are HUGE -- there must be room for improvement.\r
