How to build the sources from CVS
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
I) Windows using plain makefiles
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
a) Using the GNU MinGW32 or GNU CygWin32 compilers
|
|
|
|
You'll need the compiler itself which is available from
|
|
|
|
http://www.cygwin.com
|
|
|
|
When using MingW32 you'll need GNU make which is part of
|
|
part of the CygWin32 toolchain and is also available as
|
|
a stand alone port without the infamous Cygwin.dll from
|
|
|
|
http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~janjaap/mingw32
|
|
|
|
-> Set your path so that it includes the directory
|
|
where your compiler and tools reside
|
|
-> Assume that you installed the wxWindows sources
|
|
into c:\wxWin
|
|
-> Copy c:\wxWin\include\wx\msw\setup0.h
|
|
to c:\wxWin\include\wx\msw\setup.h
|
|
-> Edit c:\wxWin\include\wx\msw\setup.h so that
|
|
most features are enabled (i.e. defined to 1) with
|
|
#define wxUSE_SOCKETS 1
|
|
#define wxUSE_HTML 1
|
|
#define wxUSE_THREADS 1
|
|
#define wxUSE_FS_INET 1
|
|
#define wxUSE_FS_ZIP 1
|
|
#define wxUSE_BUSYINFO 1
|
|
#define wxUSE_DYNLIB_CLASS 1
|
|
#define wxUSE_ZIPSTREAM 1
|
|
|
|
and disbale iostreams with
|
|
#define wxUSE_STD_IOSTREAM 0
|
|
-> type: cd c:\wxWin\src\msw
|
|
-> type: make -f makefile.g95
|
|
|
|
II) Unix using plain makefiles.
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Set WXWIN environment variable to the base directory such
|
|
as ~/wxWindows
|
|
|
|
-> type: export WXWIN=~/wxWindows
|
|
|
|
Edit ~/wxWindows/src/make.env as you wish.
|
|
-> type: cd ~/wxWindows/src/gtk
|
|
-> type: cp ./setup0.h setup.h
|
|
-> type: make -f makefile.unx gtk
|
|
-> pray
|
|
|
|
III) Windows using configure
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Take a look at Unix->Windows cross compiling. With minor
|
|
modifications, this should work in Windows if you've got the cygnus
|
|
utilities (bash, GNU make, etc) and either mingw32 or cygwin32 installed.
|
|
See http://www.cygnus.com for these programs, or go straight to their
|
|
ftp server at ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/.
|
|
|
|
Of course, you can also build the library using plain makefiles (see
|
|
section I).
|
|
|
|
IV) Unix using configure
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
a) You have all the newest and greatest GNU tools installed on your system
|
|
and in the same directory hierachy (e.g. either all tools in /usr or all
|
|
in /usr/local), these tools are:
|
|
- GNU libtool 1.2e (1.3 doesn't work here)
|
|
- GNU autoconf 2.13 (including autoheader 2.13)
|
|
- GNU automake 1.4 (including aclocal 1.4)
|
|
and possibly but not forcibly
|
|
- GNU make 3.76.1
|
|
- GNU C++ (EGCS)
|
|
|
|
-> Go to the base directory
|
|
-> type: ./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
b) You don't know what autos are and have no driver's licence anyway:
|
|
|
|
-> Go to the testconf directory
|
|
-> type: ./apply
|
|
|
|
a+b) Then proceed in either case with:
|
|
|
|
-> Choose a directory name that seems fit for building wxWindows, e.g. mybuild
|
|
-> Go the base directory
|
|
-> type: mkdir mybuild
|
|
-> type: cd mybuild
|
|
-> type: ../configure --with-gtk
|
|
or type: ../configure --with-motif
|
|
or type: ../configure --with-wine
|
|
-> type make
|
|
-> drink lots of coffee and go shopping
|
|
|
|
|
|
V) MacOS
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
VI) OS/2
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
VII) Unix->Windows cross-compiling using configure
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
First you'll need a cross-compiler; linux glibc binaries of mingw32 and
|
|
cygwin32 (both based on egcs) can be found at
|
|
ftp://ftp.objsw.com/pub/crossgcc/linux-x-win32. Otherwise you can
|
|
compile one yourself. Check the relevant FAQs.
|
|
|
|
[ A Note about cygwin32 and mingw32: the main difference is that cygwin32
|
|
binaries are always linked against cygwin.dll. This dll encapsulates most
|
|
standard Unix C extensions, which is very handy if you're porting unix
|
|
software to windows. However, wxMSW doesn't need this, so mingw32 is
|
|
preferable if you write portable C(++). ]
|
|
|
|
You might want to build both Unix and Windows binaries in the same source
|
|
tree; to do this make subdirs for each e.g. unix and win32. If you've
|
|
already build wxWindows in the main dir, do a 'make distclean' there,
|
|
otherwise configure will get confused. (In any case, read the section 'Unix
|
|
using configure' and make sure you're able to build a native wxWindows
|
|
library; cross-compiling errors can be pretty obscure and you'll want to be
|
|
sure that your configure setup is basically sound.)
|
|
|
|
To cross compile the windows library, do
|
|
-> cd win32
|
|
Now run configure. There are two ways to do this
|
|
-> ../configure --host=i586-mingw32 --build=i586-linux --with-mingw \
|
|
--enable-dnd=no
|
|
where --build= should read whatever platform you're building on. Configure
|
|
will notice that build and host platforms differ, and automatically prepend
|
|
i586-mingw32- to gcc, ar, ld, etc (make sure they're in the PATH!).
|
|
The other way to run configure is by specifying the names of the binaries
|
|
yourself:
|
|
-> CC=i586-mingw32-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32-g++ RANLIB=i586-mingw32-ranlib \
|
|
DLLTOOL=i586-mingw32-dlltool LD=i586-mingw32-ld NM=i586-mingw32-nm \
|
|
../configure --host=i586-mingw32 --with-mingw --enable-dnd=no
|
|
|
|
(all assuming you're using mingw32)
|
|
Drag'n'drop is disabled because mingw32 lacks (AFAIK) OLE headers.
|
|
|
|
Configure will conclude that shared libraries are out of the question and
|
|
opt for a static one. I haven't looked into DLL creation yet.
|
|
|
|
Type
|
|
-> make -C src
|
|
and wait, wait, wait. Don't leave the room, because the minute you do there
|
|
will be a compile error :-)
|
|
|
|
If this is successful, try building the minimal sample:
|
|
-> cd samples/minimal
|
|
-> make
|
|
-> mv minimal minimal.exe
|
|
|
|
and run it with wine, for example
|
|
-> wine minimal.exe
|
|
|
|
If all is well, do an install; from win32
|
|
-> make install
|
|
|
|
Native and cross-compiled installations can co-exist peacefully
|
|
(as long as their widget sets differ), except for wx-config. You might
|
|
want to rename the cross-compiled one to i586-mingw32-wx-config, or something.
|
|
|
|
Cross-compiling TODO:
|
|
---------------------
|
|
- resource compiling must be done manually for now (should/can we link the
|
|
default wx resources into libwx_msw.a?) [ No we can't; the linker won't
|
|
link it in... you have to supply an object file ]
|
|
- dynamic libraries
|
|
- static executables are HUGE -- there must be room for improvement.
