Compiling wxWindows samples with the Borland CBuilder</h2>

<h2>
|
|
|
|
|
Before you begin</h2>
|
2002-07-03 11:01:26 -04:00
|
|
|
This refers to the <b>2.1.16</b> and 2.1.15 wxWindows distribution. It
|
|
|
|
|
is my account of trying to compile the samples so I can use the Borland
|
|
|
|
|
IDE to edit/compile/debug. I have used CBuilder 1.00 (2 patches, nice and
|
|
|
|
|
fast), CBuilder 3 (slower), and CBuilder 4 (more recently).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2000-07-15 15:51:35 -04:00
|
|
|
<p>Make sure that the wx distribution is extracted to a path with no spaces
|
|
|
|
|
in it, and preferably on the root of your drive. Borland's compilers sometimes
|
|
|
|
|
have problems with spaces and with the long paths which occur if you try
|
|
|
|
|
to place it in a tree like <tt>d:\compiler\gui\wx...</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>
|
|
|
|
|
Part 1 Build the library</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
Build the <b>wx\wx32.lib</b> and related files using the command line compiler
|
|
|
|
|
<br>Run a command prompt in the <tt>wx/src/msw</tt> directory and type
|
|
|
|
|
<p><tt>set wxwin=pathtowx</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<br><tt>set bccdir=pathtobc4</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<br><tt>make -f makefile.b32</tt>
|
2002-07-03 11:01:26 -04:00
|
|
|
<p>In my case this I extracted the wx distribution in <b>c:\</b> and the
|
|
|
|
|
compiler is in <b>w:\borland\cb\bin</b> so this looks:
|
2000-07-15 15:51:35 -04:00
|
|
|
<p><tt>set wxwin=c:\wx</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<br><tt>set bccdir=w:\borland\cb</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<br><tt>make -f makefile.b32</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If this doesn't <b>compile</b>,
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
2002-07-03 11:01:26 -04:00
|
|
|
you've probably got the <b><tt>set wxwin</tt></b> command wrong,</li>
|
2000-07-15 15:51:35 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
or the path was not set by the Borland setup</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
If this doesn't <b>link</b>,
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
2002-07-03 11:01:26 -04:00
|
|

Solution 1</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-06-07 16:15:28 -04:00
|
|
|
<a href="http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/wx/bc/download.html">Download</a> a zip file which contains modified
|
2002-07-03 11:01:26 -04:00
|
|
|
cpp, mak and bpr files - it will overwrite your wx distribution cpp files!

<h3>
|
|
|
|
|
Solution 2</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
Creating the files by hand. This is for the calendar sample; you will
|
2000-07-15 15:51:35 -04:00
|
|
|
have to change the names for the other samples
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Create a calendar.mak file [must have the same name as the cpp file] in
|
2002-07-03 11:01:26 -04:00
|
|
|
a plain text editor with <a href="http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/wx/bc/calendar.mak">these contents</a></li>:

<p>In CBuilder 1 you can use <b>Open Project</b> to open the mak file and
|
|
|
|
|
edit/compile/debug.
|
2002-07-03 11:01:26 -04:00
|
|
|
<p>In CBuilder 3 and 4, then you can use <b>Open Project</b> and choose
|
2000-07-15 15:51:35 -04:00
|
|
|
the Open Borland CBuilder 1 Project from the drop down file types. The
|
|
|
|
|
system will modify the mak file and update it for you.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Now try compiling it in the ide.

Hints:</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
2002-07-03 11:01:26 -04:00
|
|
|
You can set it up for normal and debug modes (change the -v switch in CFLAG1
|
2000-07-15 15:51:35 -04:00
|
|
|
and LFLAG)</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
If you get problems saying Project undefined, then copy the text using
|
|
|
|
|
a simple editor like notepad to the file minimal.mak (I have had problems
|
|
|
|
|
in CBuilder 1.00 with Unix style line endings)</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
2002-07-03 11:01:26 -04:00
|
|
|
If you want to avoid the warnings about hiding virtual methods add
|
|
|
|
|
<b><tt>-w-hid</tt></b> to the CFLAG1 line</li>
|
2000-07-15 15:51:35 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
the #define WinMain WinMain line allows CBuilder to think it has a non-VCL
|
2002-07-03 11:01:26 -04:00
|
|
|
<tt>main</tt> function</li>
|
2000-07-15 15:51:35 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
the USEUNIT macros tell CBuilder which other source files to include, without
|
|
|
|
|
needing a VCL form</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
the condefs.h file defines the USEUNIT macros for non-VCL use</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
For the other samples, change the names of the cpp and rc files. If you
|
|
|
|
|
have multiple files, just add more USEUNIT and USERC macros</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

<h3>

|
|
Solution 3</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
2002-07-03 11:01:26 -04:00
|
|
|
download the wxWindows-2.1.16-bcb.zip file,</li>
|
2000-07-15 15:51:35 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
extract it</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
2002-07-03 11:01:26 -04:00
|
|
|
use the <b><tt>idetomak</tt></b> (CBuilder 1) or <b><tt>idetobpr</tt></b>
|
2000-07-15 15:51:35 -04:00
|
|
|
(CBuilder 3/4) utility on the <b><tt>.ide</tt></b> file in the samples
|
2002-07-03 11:01:26 -04:00
|
|
|
directory. This modifies the cpp source and makes a "suitable" mak or bpr file
|
2000-07-15 15:51:35 -04:00
|
|
|
(at least in CBuilder 1/3/4).</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
2002-07-03 11:01:26 -04:00
|
|
|
add the location of the wx/include files in the project | options
|
2000-07-15 15:51:35 -04:00
|
|
|
| directory dialog</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
I found in CBuilder 1 that the <tt>idetomak</tt> utility did not manage
|
|
|
|
|
to convert all the samples, but <tt>idetobpr</tt> worked OK in CBuilder
|
2002-06-07 16:15:28 -04:00
|
|
|
3 and 4. I have a report that not all the bpr files made in CBuilder 4
|
2000-07-15 15:51:35 -04:00
|
|
|
are correct

Error with ODBC32</h2>

|
|
|
Sometimes you get an error saying that there are unresolved externals in
|
2002-07-03 11:01:26 -04:00
|
|
|
ODBC. The solution is to run a command prompt in your <b><tt>wx\lib</tt></b> directory
|
|
|
|
|
and use the <b><tt>implib</tt></b> command:
|
|
|
|
|
<p><tt>C:\wx\lib><b>implib odbc32 c:\windows\system\odbc32.dll</b></tt>
|
2000-07-15 15:51:35 -04:00
|
|
|
<p>This creates the necessary library, odbc32.lib
