Simplify things by putting setup.h files themselves under version
control and getting rid of setup0.h ones.
The initial motivation for using separate setup0.h files was to allow
having local changes to setup.h, but with Git there is a simple way to
do it by using "git update-index --skip-worktree include/wx/msw/setup.h"
for example, so we don't really need setup0.h any more and dropping them
makes things simpler.
This is more user-friendly than GitHub links with their tons of files.
Also use the recently added #vX.Y.Z_msw anchor to link directly to MSW
binaries downloads from the corresponding file.

Make command line instructions for vcpgk more similar to those used
for example for nmake. The MS Windows command line does not use $ as
the command prompt and batch files are more commonly used then Unix
shell scripts.
Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/1785
This file doesn't need to be created initially, as it will be done
automatically during the build, but it does need to be updated whenever
setup0.h changes, so explain this in both the README-GIT.md file and the
main build instructions.
Closes#18699.
We don't provide binaries for this compiler any more, just MinGW-w64.
Also mention that SJLJ exceptions propagation mechanism is only used in
32-bit builds.
The binaries-related files haven't been updated yet because we don't
provide 2019 binaries yet (build/tools/msvs/officialbuild.bat still has
to be updated too).
This replaces and extends the previous commit by using `$var` instead of
`$(var)` when this makes sense and using the ugly workaround for Doxygen
expanding environment variables even inside Markdown backticks elsewhere.
Also use backticks around more strings.
It turns out that Doxygen expands $(VAR) into the actual value of the
VAR environment variable on the machine where it runs, which is
definitely not what we want in the instructions telling people to use
"$wxwin" in their projects, so remove the parentheses to prevent Doxygen
from expanding it.
Another alternative would be to escape "$" with a backslash, but this
would make the source markdown file uglier.
We used docs/msw/install.txt for this previously, but it was too long to
be comfortably viewed in the installation wizard and also incidentally
doesn't exist any more, so add a new, short file just referring the user
to its replacement.
Use backticks around _UNICODE to avoid the special meaning of "_" in
Markdown.
Also use backticks around a couple of other identifiers/paths for
consistency.
This is a preliminary ARM64 platform support for wxWidgets at "it
compiles" stage. This will allow building and testing wxWidgets based
apps for oncoming Windows 10 ARM64.
Requirements:
- Visual Studio 2017 Update 4 or later with Visual C++ compilers and
libraries for ARM64 component installed
Building:
1. Open command prompt.
2. Change directory to build\msw subfolder.
3. Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsamd64_arm64.bat" once.
4. Use `nmake TARGET_CPU=ARM64 ...` to build required flavor of wxWidget
libraries.
Notes:
1. Building of *.sln/*.vcxproj files does not support ARM64 yet. This
requires to hardcode Windows SDK to 10.0.15063.0 or later in
*.vcxproj files, which would render them non-compilable in older
Visual Studio versions. Microsoft is aware of this issue and is
planning a fix in the next version of Visual Studio.
2. wxmsw31ud_gl.dll does not build yet. Awaiting Microsoft to deliver
missing opengl32.lib for ARM64. Please, specify USE_OPENGL=0.
Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/923
Notably mention the need to add the path to the build-specific setup.h
file.
Also refer to CMake to help people using this build system.
Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/864
When using -jN, setup_h needs to be created first to avoid a bug due to
missing dependencies in the current makefiles which breaks the build
otherwise.
Since 202f62b4c4 x64 configurations exist
for MSVC 8 and 9 projects. Because MSVC 7 is the minimal supported
version, and doesn't support 64-bit builds, remove the section in
install.txt about x64 configurations being available only in MSVC 10
project files and later.
