+Subject: [wx-dev] [wxdev] wxWin BCB compile in IDE 2.1.15
+
+I have compiled the MDI sample in the Borland C++Builder 1.0 IDE.
+
+To do this you need to add a bit to the top of the mdi.cpp file like this
+
+#if defined(__BORLANDC__)
+#include <condefs.h>
+USERC("mdi.rc");
+#endif // defined(__BORLANDC__)
+
+though it might be better to define another variable
+
+The .mak file looks like this; 
+
+#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+VERSION = BCB.01
+#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+!ifndef BCB
+BCB = $(MAKEDIR)\..
+!endif
+PROJECT = mdi.exe
+OBJFILES = mdi.obj
+RESFILES = mdi.res
+RESDEPEN = $(RESFILES)

+#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+I can't persuade it to accept $(WXDIR) in place of d:\wx for some reason.
+Parts of the file are automatically regenerated by the BCB system, so it
+always adds unncessary vcl libaraies !!
+
+The USERC macro is used by the ide to automatically manage the RC file and
+in a VCL poject would be used to control the several units. In case you
+are wondering, the relevant macro is expanded in condefs.h
+
+#define USERC(FileName) \
+   extern DummyThatIsNeverReferenced
+
+If you have more thann one cpp unit, you can use a part of the code like
+this
+
+#define USEUNIT(ModName) \
+   extern DummyThatIsNeverReferenced
+#define USERES(ModName) \
+   extern DummyThatIsNeverReferenced
+
+USEUNIT("child.cpp");
+USERES("mdi.RES");
