Configuration
used in compiling these instructions
- Gentoo (although most other distibutions should also work without
any
changes)
- gcc/g++ 4.1.0
- Unicode wxGTK-2.6.3
- libiodbc v3.52.4
- gtk-2
Prerequisites
- gtk-2
- wxWidgets(wxGTK,or wxAll) >= 2.6.1 with framelayout library
(fl) and odbc enabled.
- libiodbc v3.x if using unicode wxWidgets (iodbc supplied with
wxWidgets will not build with unicode enabled)
- Latest CVS Sources for wxWorkshop
Building wxWindows
There are two ways
to build wxWindows depending upon whether you want to have shared
libraries or static libraries. The steps for building using shared
libraries
are outlined below.
Make a buildgtk-debug directory:
cd wxWidgets-2.6.3
mkdir buildgtk-debug
For wxGTK-ansi build:
../configure --with-gtk --with-odbc --enable-debug
--enable-shared
make
make install
For
wxGTK-unicode build:
../configure --with-gtk --enable-unicode
--enable-debug -enable-shared
make
make install
/* NOTE: Remember that libiodbc must be
installed before building wxWorkshop */
You will also
need to compile fl which is in contrib/src/fl:
cd contrib/src/fl
make
make install
Building
wxWorkshop
Environment
Variables
Two environment
variables are vital for building wxWorkshop and there
are a few methods for defining them.
- WXWIN should be set to your wxwindows / wxGTK directory
- WXWORKSHOPDIR should be set to the the root of wxworkshop files
To set these
variables, you could
- export WXWIN=/path/to/wxwin/source
- export
WXWORKSHOPDIR=/path/to/wxworkshop/source
- to make it permanent, you could add those lines to you
~/.bash_profile
if you use bash or
- modify config.env top two lines to the correct path and uncomment
them
Start the wxWorkshop Build
/*
For Now: */
cd wxWorkshop
make -f Makefile.linux
/* Future build instructions: */
cd wxWorkshop
../configure
make
make install
Edit ld.so.conf
(using whatever editor you like) to include the wxWidgets
lib path - $WXWIN/lib - you will have the replace the $WXWIN with
whatever
is the path to the wxWindows base. Run ldconfig. This operation will
take a few seconds.
Code Completion
Database
To create these
databases, you will need the binaries which you will find
in your src/diamond directory. You should copy this to your ws/db
directory
to make use easier.
You can move dsc
to ws/db by running the following in the ws/db directory:
mv ../../src/diamond/dsc_linux.tar.gz .
or to copy,
replace mv with cp.
To untar, use
tar zxvf dsc_linux.tar.gz
To create the
databases, run
./regen_both
This should run
fine, perhaps with some warnings.
Running
wxWorkshop
To run wxWorkshop,
go into ws and run ./ws
