- QUICK START
- ===========
-
- A) Tips
- -------
-
- 1) The File Open dialog allows you to open multiple files at once. You just
- use Ctrl or Shift in conjunction with the left mouse button to select all
- the files to open.
-
- 2) Dialogs that accept multiple file names, such as File Open, Manage Files
- and Extract Strings, can take a directory name as the first name in the
- list. All subsequent names are then assumed to be files in that directory.
- eg: "c:\apps *.txt *.ini" is the same as "c:\apps\*.txt c:\apps\*.ini"
-
- B) File Filters Customization
- -----------------------------
-
- File filters are a means of using wild cards to list only files with matching
- names in the File Open/Save As dialogs. You can predefine up to 10 filters
- for commonly used wild cards. Note that you can have different sets of
- filters for each project, and for when you are working in non-project mode.
- In project mode, the default set of filters depends on which environment you
- select. To configure the filters on the File Open dialog, choose the Global
- Settings command on the settings menu, and click on the File Filters button
- on the Global Settings dialog. Then specify your own filters, or click on
- the help button for further information.
-
- C) Existing Makefiles
- ---------------------
-
- If you want to use Windev to build a project for which you have an existing
- makefile, follow these steps:
-
- 1) Choose the Select Project command from the Project menu.
- 2) In the Select Project dialog, fill in the full path to the directory in
- which your makefile and source files are stored, and press the Change To
- button.
- 3) Windev will change its working directory to your project directory, and
- create a configuration file called windev.ini.
- 4) Choose the Configure Project dialog by selecting the Configure Project
- command on the Project menu.
- 5) Fill in the name of your target executable (this is needed for the Debug
- and Test commands).
- 6) Choose the relevant compiler from the Environment list box, or if your
- compiler is not in the list, select "Other" and then configure each of the
- settings. Use the predefined compiler, linker and builder (make program)
- settings as an example, and see the online help on project variables for a
- description of each setting.
- 7) If you require the make program (eg. nmake.exe) to be run with any
- arguments, click on "BuildArgs" in the scrolling list, type the arguments
- in the Setting edit field, and click Set. Typically, you will at least
- require something like "-f project.mak" (without the quotes).
- 8) If you want to do a debug build, check the "Debug Build" box. This will
- have the effect of adding the arguments specified against "BuildDebug" in
- the scrolling list box. If the defaults are not appropriate, change it in
- the same way as "BuildArgs".
- 9) Close the Configure Project dialog.
-
- Check that it all works by choosing the Build command from the Project menu.
- This will execute your make commands in a minimized DOS window. The output
- is automatically displayed in a window if there are any errors, but you can
- see it anyway, after the build has completed, by selecting the View Results
- command on the Project menu.
