wxWidgets

  • wxWidgets source and the glazier overlay are already downloaded
  • start an SDK shell via setenv.cmd /Release /x86
  • run c:\relax\bin\build_wx.cmd to extract and build wxWidgets
  • NB Erlang build requires wxWidgets in /opt/local/pgm/wxWidgets-2.8.11 so we set that up too
  • check for errors

Equivalent Manual Steps

  • Open a suitable editor (vi in the cygwin suite, or Notepad++ for windows users)
  • Edit c:\relax\wxMSW-2.8.11\include\wx\msw\setup.h to enable wxUSE_GLCANVAS, wxUSE_POSTSCRIPT and wxUSE_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT

wx.dsw

  • open VC++ & the project %RELAX%\wxMSW-2.8.11\build\msw\wx.dsw, accepting the automatic conversion to the newer VC++ format and save as %RELAX%\wxMSW-2.8.11\build\msw\wx.sln

  • right-click on the project, and set up the dependencies for wx.dsw to achieve the below build order: jpeg, png, tiff, zlib, regex, expat, base, net, odbc, core, gl, html, media, qa, adv, dbgrid, xrc, aui, richtext, xml

  • Launch a new prompt from somewhere like Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Visual C++ -> Visual Studio Tools -> VS2008 Cmd Prompt

  • Then build all unicode release (and unicode debug) packages:

      pushd %RELAX%\wxMSW*\build\msw
  set CL=/D_BIND_TO_CURRENT_VCLIBS_VERSION=1
  vcbuild /useenv  /platform:Win32 /M4 wx.sln "Unicode Release|Win32"
  vcbuild /useenv  /platform:Win32 /M4 wx.sln "Unicode Debug|Win32"
  popd

stc.dsw

  • open VC++ & convert %RELAX%\wxMSW-2.8.11\contrib\build\stc\stc.dsw to %RELAX%\wxMSW-2.8.11\contrib\build\stc\stc.sln

      pushd %RELAX%\wxMSW*\contrib\build\stc
  set CL=/D_BIND_TO_CURRENT_VCLIBS_VERSION=1
  vcbuild /useenv /platform:Win32 /M4 stc.sln "Unicode Release|Win32"
  vcbuild /useenv /platform:Win32 /M4 stc.sln "Unicode Debug|Win32"
  popd
