Using and modifying the BC++ IDE files
======================================
Readme for wxWidgets 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 wxWidgets-programs
1. What you can do with the IDE files
=====================================
There are two IDE files. src\bc32.ide should help you to
create the wxWidgets 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 wxWidgets-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 wxWidgets-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 wxWidgets-programs
==========================================================
If you want to create an IDE file for your own wxWidgets 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 wxWidgets 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 wxWidgets library (e.g. \wxwin\lib\wx32.lib). Also
add the xpm library.
