Import libs: |

| 13 |
============ |
|---|
| 14 |
To link everything you need the import libs. |
|---|
| 15 |
They are not included in the source repository, please use this archive |
|---|
| 16 |
|

http://downloads.dsource.org/projects/dwt/dwt-win-importlibs.zip |
|---|

They don't contain any DWT code, only the import libraries to link to the windows system DLLs. |

Building with dsss |
|---|
| 23 |
=================== |
|---|
| 24 |
Per default dsss has the option 'oneatatime' enable. |
|---|
| 25 |
This make dsss to compile one file at a time and building dwt take longer than 15 min. |
|---|
| 26 |
Disable this option in the dsss/etc/rebuild/dmd-win-tango file. |
|---|
| 27 |
Search for it (2 matches) and either delete those lines of change =on to =off. |
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 |
In some situations, you may get linker errors when building the dwt examples. |
|---|
| 30 |
Try adding the "-full" switch to the dsss command line to fix these errors. |
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 |
Example: |
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 |
dsss build -full simple |
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 |
Subsystem linker option |
|---|
| 37 |
======================= |
|---|
| 38 |
For dmd linker 'optlink' there is the option SUBSYSTEM which defines if the executable |
|---|
| 39 |
shall be a console or windows application and the minimum required windows version (4=win95,5=win2000,6=vista) |
|---|
| 40 |
-L/SUBSYSTEM:windows:5 |
|---|
| 41 |
Without this option, DWT renderes some controls not correctly. Eg. table headers are not shown. |
|---|
| 42 |
|

| 43 |
|

| 44 |
WinXP Theming and Controls |
|---|
| 45 |
========================== |
|---|
| 46 |
With WinXP it is required to make windows use a manifest. |
|---|
| 47 |
There are several ways to make this manifest available. |
|---|
| 48 |
1.) Place the manifest file in the same directory where the .exe is. |
|---|
| 49 |
E.g. |
|---|
| 50 |
application.exe |
|---|
| 51 |
application.exe.manifest |
|---|
| 52 |
2.) Link the content of the manifest to the application as a windows resource. |
|---|
| 53 |
3.) Have another program that uses resource injection to put the manifest into the application |
|---|
| 54 |
4.) Let the application write the manifest to a an external file and load it. |
|---|
| 55 |
This had problems in the past, some applications on some machines did not load images. |
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 |
1. .. 3.) Seems to work reliable. |
|---|
| 58 |
|
|---|
| 59 |
* Using 2. |
|---|
| 60 |
compile the dwt.rc/dwt.exe.manifest files with rcc.exe from the digitalmars to create the dwt.res. |
|---|
| 61 |
rcc dwt.rc |
|---|
| 62 |
link the resulting dwt.res with the -L/rc:dwt.res |
|---|
