Project settings
Global settings
Project settings are saved with the project file and are changed on a per-project basis.
Setting | Description |
Root name | This will be used for all files generated by wxBuilder for this project. Extensions such as .RC, .CC and .DEF will be appended to form filenames. |
C++ extension | Allows you to choose what C++ extension will be used (default .CC). |
Directory under Windows | The directory into which the generated files will be placed under Windows. |
Directory under UNIX | The directory into which the generated files will be placed under UNIX. |
Generate makefiles | If on, will generate makefiles. |
Generate RC file | If on, will generate Windows resource file. |
Generate DEF file | If on, will generate Windows module definition file. |
Generate wxWindows resources | If on, will generate .WXR resource files (different from Windows resource files), replacing the programmatic creation of menu bars, dialog boxes and panels where possible. |
Global settings are variables that are likely to change on a per-user basis, and are stored in WIN.INI (under Windows) or .Xdefaults (under X). Under X, the .Xdefaults file should be edited by hand, since the X versions of wxBuilder do not currently save global settings.
These are the global settings.
Setting | Description |
Windows compiler | Set to the desired Windows compiler. At present, the only recognised compilers are Microsoft's C++ version 7, Visual C++ and the NT compiler. For other compilers, please write the makefile by hand or use a Microsoft compatibility mode if available. |
UNIX compiler | Type in the name of the UNIX compiler. The default is gcc-2.1. |
X GUI target | UNIX makefiles are generated with three targets, allowing simultaneous compilation of XView , Sun Motif and HP Motif binaries. This target specifies which one should be used for auto-compiling (not yet implemented). |
X includes | Switches specifying where to find X include directories. |
X libs | Switches specifying where to find X library directories. |
Extra includes (UNIX) | Allows specification of extra include paths for UNIX makefiles. |
Extra libs (UNIX) | Allows specification of extra library paths for UNIX makefiles. |
Extra includes (Windows) | Allows specification of extra include paths for Windows makefiles. |
Extra libs (Windows) | Allows specification of extra library paths for Windows makefiles. |
UNIX wxWindows directory | wxWindows home directory under UNIX. |
Windows wxWindows directory | wxWindows home directory under Windows. |
