wxWindows 2.5 for Mac installation
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
On MacOS X, you can download Apple's free developer tools (gcc
|
|
and associated headers and libraries, such as the Carbon API).
|
|
You can then use configure in a similar way to compiling
|
|
wxWindows on Linux (or on Windows using MinGW or Cygwin). See
|
|
'Apple Developer Tools' below for more details on using
|
|
configure.
|
|
|
|
To target on MacOS 8 or 9, you need to buy Metrowerks
|
|
CodeWarrior. You can then compile Mac Classic or MacOS X
|
|
applications on Mac OS X, or compile Mac Classic or MacOS X
|
|
applications on Mac Classic. However you can only run and debug
|
|
each type of application on the target operating system.
|
|
|
|
Installing latest headers (and Carbon Support)
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
NOTE: these steps are not necessary for CW Pro 6 and above,
|
|
only for CW Pro 5.3.
|
|
|
|
The latest build for carbon support leads to a few changes you will have to
|
|
follow, in order to successfully compile the code (also necessary if you don't
|
|
want to build the carbon targets).
|
|
|
|
1. You need CodeWarrior Pro 5.3 , i.e. 5.0 with all the upgrades.
|
|
2. You have to download the 3.4.0 (or greater) universal interfaces from
|
|
ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/UniversalHeaders3.4.1.img.bin.
|
|
3. put the Interfaces and Libraries Folder into the MacOS Support folder and
|
|
replace older versions.
|
|
4. remove from the MacOS Support folder the separate OpenTransport folder.
|
|
5. open the file MacOS Support:MacHeaders:MacHeaders.c and add the line
|
|
#include <ControlDefinitions.h>
|
|
after the
|
|
#include <Controls.h>
|
|
6. rebuild all MacHeaders from the MacHeaders.mcp project in the same folder.
|
|
|
|
If you want to build the carbon targets, you will also need the latest
|
|
carbonized version of MSL from Metrowerks, at the time of writing, this meant
|
|
applying the changes from the folders:
|
|
|
|
CodeWarrior Pro 5:Pre-Release:Carbon & MacOSX Development:Carbonized MSL and
|
|
CodeWarrior Pro 5:Pre-Release:Carbon & MacOSX Development:Carbonized Runtimes
|
|
(consult the file CodeWarrior Pro 5:Pre-Release:Carbon & MacOSX Development:Carbon & MacOSX README)
|
|
|
|
setup.h
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
in order to build wxMac with CodeWarrior, you must copy or alias the file
|
|
include/wx/mac/setup0.h to include/wx/setup.h.
|
|
|
|
this step is not needed when using the Apple Developer Tools under Mac OS X
|
|
since the setup.h file is automatically generated during the configuration.
|
|
|
|
OpenGL
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
In order to build opengl support with CodeWarrior, you must install the opengl
|
|
libraries and headers from http://developer.apple.com/opengl/index.html
|
|
|
|
If you want OpenGL support with CodeWarrior, set wxUSE_OPENGL to 1 in
|
|
include/wx/setup.h
|
|
|
|
If you don't want OpenGl support, set wxUSE_OPENGL to 0 (the
|
|
default) and remove the file OpenGLLibraryStub from the project
|
|
before compilation.
|
|
|
|
If you want OpenGL support with the Apple Developer Tools under Mac OS X, add
|
|
--with-opengl to the arguments of configure when configuring wxMac.
|
|
|
|
Project Files
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The project files are stored as xml text files and converted to binary
|
|
CodeWarrior projects in the distribution (see AppleScript Files below):
|
|
- *M5.xml -> *M5.mcp for CodeWarrior 5.3
|
|
- *M6.xml -> *M6.mcp for CodeWarrior 6
|
|
- *M7.xml -> *M7.mcp for CodeWarrior 7 and above.
|
|
|
|
In order to build the library (and then the samples) you need to make the
|
|
following projects (for CW 5.3, similar process for CW 7):
|
|
|
|
:src:wxwindowsM5.mcp
|
|
:src:png:pngM5.mcp
|
|
:src:tiff:tiffM5.mcp
|
|
:src:jpeg:jpegM5.mcp
|
|
:src:zlib:zlibM5.mcp
|
|
|
|
Note that if using CW 8 and above, when compiling the samples
|
|
you may need to edit the target settings, click on Language
|
|
Settings, C/++ Language and remove the forward slash at the
|
|
start of /wx/wx_cw_d.h (or similar filename).
|
|
|
|
AppleScript Files
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Several AppleScript files are provided in the docs:mac directory:
|
|
|
|
- M5xml2mcp.applescript to convert xml files to CodeWarrior 5 projects
|
|
- M5mcp2xml.applescript to convert CodeWarrior 5 projects to xml files
|
|
- M5build.applescript to automatically build all samples/demos projects
|
|
- M8xml2mcp.applescript to convert xml files to CodeWarrior 8 projects
|
|
- M8mcp2xml.applescript to convert CodeWarrior 8 projects to xml files
|
|
|
|
To run the XML to MCP conversion scripts:
|
|
|
|
Double click on e.g. docs/mac/M8xml2mcp.applescript, then "run"
|
|
the applescript and when asked for a folder pick src/. Then it
|
|
takes a while to scan all dirs for the xml files and convert
|
|
them to mcps. If some conversions fail it means an mcp already
|
|
exists (back them up prior to running the script).
|
|
|
|
Apple Developer Tools
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
As in all Unix projects, you need to do something like this under MacOS X
|
|
with the Apple Developer Tools installed:
|
|
|
|
1) cd into the base dir
|
|
2) mkdir osx-build
|
|
3) cd osx-build
|
|
4) ../configure
|
|
5) make
|
|
|
|
If you want to install the library into the system directories you'll need
|
|
to do this as root. The accepted way of running commands as root is to
|
|
use the built-in sudo mechanism. First of all, you must be using an
|
|
account marked as a "Computer Administrator". Then
|
|
|
|
6) sudo make install
|
|
7) type <YOUR OWN PASSWORD>
|
|
|
|
Note that while using this method is okay for development, it is not
|
|
recommended that you require endusers to install wxWindows into their
|
|
system directories in order to use your program. One way to avoid this
|
|
is to configure wxWindows with --disable-shared. Another way to avoid
|
|
it is to make a framework for wxWindows. Making frameworks is beyond
|
|
the scope of this document.
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
We recommend you configure a static library instead:
|
|
|
|
4) ../configure --disable-shared
|
|
|
|
or activate OpenGL:
|
|
|
|
4) ../configure --with-opengl
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
It is rarely desirable to install non-Apple software into system directories.
|
|
By configuring the library with --disable-shared and using the full path
|
|
to wx-config with the --in-place option you can avoid installing the library.
|
|
|
|
Problems with .xpm files
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
if you have downloaded all the files and get errors like :
|
|
|
|
Error : the file 'wx/generic/tip.xpm' cannot be opened
|
|
tipdlg.cpp line 201 #include "wx/generic/tip.xpm"
|
|
|
|
then your cvs has changed the type of the .xpm files to something other than
|
|
text, in order to fix this either change the type by using a resource editor
|
|
or drag the files from /include/wx/generic/..xpm on the SetTypeFromExtension
|
|
application that is included in this folder. This small applet itself queries
|
|
the Internet Config, so you will have to associate the "xpm" extension with
|
|
CodeWarrior before making use of this applet.
|
|
|
|
Missing PLStringFuncsLib
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
You will have to build All Targets for MacOS Support:Libraries:Sources:PLStringFuncs:Glue:PLStringFuncsGlue.mcp
|
|
|
