Building
GTK, C++ projects
The projects are:
- app/org.eclipse.higgins.selector.ui.gtk
- app/org.eclipse.higgins.selector.ui.gtk.core
These projects can be checked out from the Eclipse repository at the following SVN URIs:
You can check them out from the Eclipse repository using a MS Visual C++ plugin like http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/, or by using an external SVN tool such as http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/.
Building with MS Visual C++ 2008 on Windows
You need the following software:
- cmake - http://www.cmake.org/
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9B2DA534-3E03-4391-8A4D-074B9F2BC1BF&displaylang=en
- OpenSSL (Full version, not Light version) - http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
- Glade2+GTK - http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/
To avoid problems, you should install the above software in their default locations (e.g. C:\OpenSSL and C:\Gtk).
The projects are designed to be built with cmake, and in order to be able to import them into MS Visual C++, the necessary project files have to be created using the special scripts configure_vs.bat and setupvc.bat, which are included with the selector.ui.gtk project. You may have to edit both scripts and adjust local paths before you can run them. Also, you have to change the line
cmake -G "Visual Studio 8 2005" ../..
... to ...
cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" ../..
... depending on which version of MS Visual C++ you are using.
