How to add a new sample to wxWidgets.
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
To add a new sample "foo" under directory "samples/foo" you need to do
|
|
the following: (note that all this applies also to demos: just replace
|
|
samples/ with demos/ where needed).
|
|
|
|
1. Create the directory samples/foo locally and "svn add" it.
|
|
|
|
2. "svn add" the sample sources (usually based on minimal.cpp) as well.
|
|
|
|
Note that unless your sample requires something special you shouldn't
|
|
add foo.rc, foo.ico, ... any more, please just reuse the generic sample.*
|
|
files in the samples subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
3. Create the makefiles:
|
|
a) modify samples/samples.bkl (just copy an existing line)
|
|
b) create foo.bkl (sed 's/minimal/foo/g' minimal.bkl > foo.bkl is usually
|
|
enough, but you may need to add more <wx-lib> lines if your sample uses
|
|
anything not in the core lib)
|
|
c) generate the makefiles for your sample using bakefile. For this you
|
|
need to:
|
|
(i) install bakefile (see http://bakefile.sf.net/)
|
|
(ii) run bakefile_gen in build/bakefiles which will regenerate all
|
|
makefiles which are not up to date
|
|
|
|
You may also use "bakefile_gen -b ../../samples/foo/foo.bkl" to
|
|
regenerate only the makefiles for this sample (path must be relative!)
|
|
or even add a "-f<compiler>" to generate just the makefiles for the given
|
|
compiler (run 'bakefile --help' to get the list of possible values).
|
|
See Technote #16 for more information.
|
|
|
|
4. Modify configure.in Unix compilation:
|
|
a) if the sample should only be built if "wxUSE_FOO" is enabled, locate
|
|
the test for "wxUSE_FOO = yes" in configure.in and add a line
|
|
SAMPLES_SUBDIRS="$SAMPLES_SUBDIRS foo" under it
|
|
b) if it should be always built, locate the line "if test $wxUSE_GUI = yes"
|
|
near the end of configure.in and modify the assignment to
|
|
SAMPLES_SUBDIRS to include "foo" (put in alphabetical order)
|
|
|
|
After this, regenerate configure from configure.in
|
|
by running "autoconf" on a Unix system in the corresponding directory.
|
|
|
|
5. Add a short description of what the sample does and how does it work
|
|
to the "samples overview" section in the wxWidgets manual. That section
|
|
lives in docs/latex/wx/tsamples.tex; look at the descriptions for other
|
|
samples, if you are not familiar with LaTeX.
|
|
|
|
6. Add any non-standard sample's files to build/bakefiles/make_dist.mk (the
|
|
makefiles copies all bmp, cpp, h, ico, png, rc, xpm and makefiles by
|
|
default, you only need to update it if the sample uses some other files)
|
|
and run the ./update-manifests.sh script in distrib/scripts (don't forget
|
|
to check the changes to manifests/*.rsp files in).
