Appendix G Using the CD-ROM
The CD-ROM can be read under Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (and other UNIX systems). The HTML contents should open automatically when you insert the CD-ROM under Windows and Linux. Otherwise, please open the file BrowseMe.htm with your preferred web browser.
Here's what's on the disk:
Code examples. Paste snippets into your own application, or compile the examples with your preferred compiler. In addition to the examples covered in this book, we include a bonus sample, “Riffle.” This little image browser comes complete with source, installation scripts, and binaries for four platforms.
wxWidgets 2.6. wxWidgets supports Windows (for desktop and Pocket PC), Unix/Linux, Mac OS X, and other platforms not covered by this book. Refer to Appendix A, “Installing wxWidgets,” for installation details for the three major platforms.
DialogBlocks Personal Edition. A version of the commercial DialogBlocks dialog editor/RAD tool for personal use. DialogBlocks runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X with powerful sizer-based layout tools and the ability to compile your source using popular compilers. See Appendix C, “Creating Applications with DialogBlocks,” to find out how to install and use DialogBlocks.
Compilers. For Windows, we supply MinGW, Digital Mars C++, and OpenWatcom C++. (For Linux, GCC can be installed from your distribution, and for Mac OS X, the Apple Developer Tools are available from the Apple web site.)
poEdit. poEdit is an essential tool to help you create message catalogs for your internationalized application.
wxPython. wxPython is a powerful blend of wxWidgets and the Python language.
