Title: what is the correct way to build wx trunk with direct2d enabled
Post by: ollydbg on December 18, 2020, 02:18:25 pm
For the official release of wx, such as 3.1.4, I have a file wxWidgets-3.1.4\include\wx\msw\setup.h

Then I can modify this file so that:

Code
#define wxUSE_GRAPHICS_DIRECT2D 1

So, I use the command:
Code
mingw32-make -j4 -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1 USE_OPENGL=1 VENDOR=cb CXXFLAGS="-Wno-unused-local-typedefs -Wno-deprecated-declarations -fno-keep-inline-dllexport" >log-release.txt 2>&1

But when I clone the official wx git, I don't see the file: wxWidgets-git\include\wx\msw\setup.h
I only see a file: wxWidgets-git\include\wx\msw\setup0.h
Which contains the line:

Code
#define wxUSE_GRAPHICS_DIRECT2D 0


So, what is the correct way to build the wxwidgets git with direct2d enabled? Do I need to modify this setup0.h? And then run the command:
Code
mingw32-make -j4 -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1 USE_OPENGL=1 VENDOR=cb CXXFLAGS="-Wno-unused-local-typedefs -Wno-deprecated-declarations -fno-keep-inline-dllexport" >log-release.txt 2>&1

Is there any suggested way?

Thanks.

wxWidgets docs recommend copying setup0.h to setup.h and then modifying setup.h.

If you have already compiled wxWidgets then you will have a setup.h file in wxWidgets-git\lib\gcc_dll\mswu\wx, and the changes to the one in include won't have any effect, so you must delete the lib one and rebuild wxWidgets

OK.

Hello,
Win : To avoid having to copy by hand, I use two files '* .bat' in attachments

Yes, change to "#define wxUSE_GRAPHICS_DIRECT2D wxUSE_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT" is better than "#define wxUSE_GRAPHICS_DIRECT2D 1".

@LETARTARE
Thanks.
