Summary

Instructions provided describe how to set up environmental variables to run Esri's WxWidget C++ samples on Windows.

Procedure

1. Browse to \Program Files\ArcGIS\DeveloperKit10.0\Samples\ArcObjectsCPP\MakefileUtilities and open the 'mk.Windows' file in a text editor.
2. In mk.Windows provide a value for WXDIR as the installation directory of WXWidgets.
   
   
   Example:
   
   WXDIR = C:\wxWidgets-2.8.7
   
   
3. In mk.Windows add /I"$(AGSENGINEJAVA)\bin" to WXCPPFLAGS
   
   
   Example:
   WXCPPFLAGS = /I$(WXDIR)\include /I$(WXDIR)\include\msvc /Zc:wchar_t- /I"$(AGSENGINEJAVA)\bin"
   
   
4. Set the environmental variables for the system.
   
   Add Path to following directories.
   
   a) \Program Files\ArcGIS\Engine10.0\bin
   b) \Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\Bin
   c) \Program Files\ArcGIS\DeveloperKit10.0\include\CatIDs
   d) \wxWidgets-2.8.7\lib\vc_dll\wxWidgets-2.8.7\include
   
5. Open a Visual Studio command prompt and browse to Esri's C++ samples folder.
   
   Example (ArcGIS 10.0):
   \Program Files\ArcGIS\DeveloperKit10.0\Samples\ArcObjectsCPP\MapTocToolbar\Wx_Cpp
   
   
6. Run nmake –f NMakefile.mak to compile the sample.
