wxWindows 2.3 for MGL installation
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE:
|
|
|
|
If you experience problems installing, please re-read these
|
|
instructions and other related files (todo.txt, bugs.txt and
|
|
osname.txt for your platform if it exists) carefully before
|
|
mailing wxwin-users or the author. Preferably, try to fix the
|
|
problem first and then send a patch to the author.
|
|
|
|
When sending bug reports tell us what version of wxWindows you are
|
|
using (including the beta) and what compiler on what system. One
|
|
example: wxMGL 2.3.3, gcc 2.95.3, Redhat 7.0
|
|
|
|
First steps
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
- Download SciTech MGL library (version 5.0) from http://www.scitechsoft.com.
|
|
Install it according to provided instructions. In particular, make sure that
|
|
MGL_ROOT and NUCLEUS_PATH environment variables are set before attempting to
|
|
build wxMGL.
|
|
|
|
- Download wxMGL-x.y.z.tgz, where x.y.z is the version number.
|
|
Download documentation in a preferred format, such as
|
|
wxWindows-HTML.zip or wxWindows-PDF.zip.
|
|
|
|
- Make a directory such as ~/wx and unarchive the files into this
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
- It is recommended that you install bison and flex; using yacc
|
|
and lex may require tweaking of the makefiles.
|
|
|
|
- You can now use configure or makefiles to build wxWindows and the samples.
|
|
In case of problems, please use GNU make.
|
|
|
|
|
|
COMPILING
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Following systems are supported by wxMGL so far:
|
|
- Unix (Linux etc.)
|
|
- MS-DOS (DJGPP and Watcom compilers)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Compiling using configure
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
These instructions apply to installation on a Unix system (such as Linux). Please
|
|
see bellow for information on using configure on non-Unix platforms.
|
|
|
|
If you compile wxWindows on Linux for the first time and don't like to read
|
|
install instructions just do (in the base dir):
|
|
|
|
> ./configure --with-mgl
|
|
> make
|
|
> su <type root password>
|
|
> make install
|
|
> ldconfig
|
|
> exit
|
|
|
|
Afterwards you can continue with
|
|
|
|
> make
|
|
> su <type root password>
|
|
> make install
|
|
> ldconfig
|
|
> exit
|
|
|
|
If you want to remove wxWindows on Unix you can do this:
|
|
|
|
> su <type root password>
|
|
> make uninstall
|
|
> ldconfig
|
|
> exit
|
|
|
|
You can set many options to configure. Type
|
|
|
|
> ./configure --help
|
|
|
|
and you will get a list of supported options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Using wxMGL library built with configure
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
'make install' will install wx-config script that can (and should) be used
|
|
to get compiler flags that are needed to build your program. wx-config --cxxflags
|
|
will output neccessary C++ compiler flags and wx-config --libs will list all
|
|
needed libraries. See an example of wxWindows application makefile:
|
|
|
|
minimal: minimal.o
|
|
$(CC) -o minimal minimal.o `wx-config --libs`
|
|
|
|
minimal.o: minimal.cpp mondrian.xpm
|
|
$(CC) `wx-config --cxxflags` -c minimal.cpp -o minimal.o
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Using configure to build MS-DOS version
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Even though configure is a Unix script, you can use it to build MS-DOS version
|
|
of the wxMGL library. There are two possible ways to achieve this: you can
|
|
either cross-compile from Unix or compile natively. Either way you will needed
|
|
the DJGPP port of GCC compiler freely available from http://www.djgpp.org. You will
|
|
also need DJGPP version of SciTech MGL (this must be built using native tools).
|
|
|
|
Cross-compilation is very easy. It works like ordinary compilation with configure,
|
|
you only have to specify the target:
|
|
|
|
> ./configure --with-mgl --build=i586-linux --host=i586-pc-msdosdjgpp
|
|
> make
|
|
|
|
If you want to build wxMGL natively using DJGPP compiler, you will have to install
|
|
a couple of Unix utilities. The easiest way to get them is to install the Cygwin
|
|
package (available from RedHat, see http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=cygwin for exact
|
|
URL). Cygwin contains win32 compiler, so make sure you did *not* install it! Once
|
|
you have Cygwin utilities and DJGPP compiler in your PATH, run bash.exe and type
|
|
|
|
> ./configure --with-mgl
|
|
> make
|
|
|
|
in wxWindows top directory. You can build wxMGL in MS-DOS with configure, sorry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Building wxMGL for MS-DOS using Watcom C/C++
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You will need Watcom C/C++ compiler version 11 or newer (Watcom is going to be
|
|
OpenSourced by SciTech, check out http://www.openwatcom.org).
|
|
|
|
1. Edit $(WXDIR)\include\wx\univ\setup.h to suit your needs (in same way as you
|
|
do when compiling wxMSW).
|
|
|
|
2. Go to $(WXDIR)\src\mgl and run
|
|
> wmake -f makefile.wat all
|
|
|
|
3. You can compile the samples by typing 'wmake -f makefile.mgl all' in sample
|
|
directory if this file is available. If it is not, copy makefile.wat to
|
|
makefile.mgl and replace the line that says
|
|
|
|
!include $(WXDIR)\src\makeprog.wat
|
|
|
|
with
|
|
|
|
!include $(WXDIR)\src\mgl\makeprog.wat
|
|
