[wxWorkshop-dev] Conversion to wxWidgets-2.6.1 - Part 4

[<wxw...@li...>]

Hello,

Time again for my weekly report on the progress to converting wxWorkshop 
to wxWidgets-2.6.1

Progress this week slowed as I ran into a lot of problems in linking the 
object files for wxWorkshop in the final ws directory.

I have gotten all of the source files converted well enough to compile 
on my Linux unicode wxWidgets-2.6.1 platform by adding all of the 
Unicode macros, and removing Deprecated functions, of which 99% of them 
have been changed to the recommended replacement functions).

In the ws directory alone, I have not yet converted the wxStringList 
variables to the wxArrayString types as I have been working on the 
unresolved references problems when trying to link & create the final 
program.

And this has been my delay all week, that I have a lot of unresolved 
class members in the libraries which took a while to track down.  I have 
found that those class members are in the pmf library.  After some time 
as to analyzing why the classes aren't resolving, I have class members 
like TPinPainterBase::mPinPainterBase(int tc) exist in the pmf files, 
but the unresolved reference is TPinPainterBase::TPinPainterBase(int 
tc).  I have a suspicion that the Visual Studio 2003 C++ is taking these 
symbols and is somehow resolving them, allowing the program object files 
to be linked.  However, g++, the GNU compiler used on linux, does not 
know that these class members are one in the same, and does not see the 
problem class members it needs.

I will be converting the pmf files to provide the proper classes for the 
g++ compiler this coming week, and hope to have an executable soon for a 
baseline to start with.  Also, I need input from people who successfully 
compile wxWorkshop on their Windows environment to see what adjustments 
can be made to the files that will be acceptable to the MS C++ and g++ 
compilers.

I need some help from the Visual Studio Guys as to why these classes resolve and build in 
Windows.

Stay tuned,
--James
