Building of WideStudio and installing it



Building and installing on the UNIX system

At first, download the source code and online manual from WideStudio home page, and unpack it as follows.
Notice: vX.X depends on the file version.
On linux operating system
  cd /tmp
  tar -zsxvf ws-vX.X.tar.gz
  cd /usr/local/ws
  tar -zsxvf ws-vX.X-doc.tar.gz
On SOLARIS operation system
  cd /tmp
  gzip -cd ws-vX.X.tar.gz | tar -moxvf -
  cd /opt/ws
  gzip -cd ws-vX.X-doc.tar.gz | tar -moxvf -
There are several targets on building of WideStudio. They are Runtime libraries,Debugging libraries and so on. We usually use the runtime libraries, and use the libraries for debugging on debugging/development of the WideStudio application. So it is expected to build the libraries for debugging, If the user develop the WideStudio application.
Notice: "ws" is indicate the directory which is WideStudio installed in the examples.
Notice: Sometime it will occur some compile errors by a difference of machine environment. In such case,you can edit the file: ws/sys/config/mkfiles to configure the compiler flags, the include path,the libraries path and so on, to avoid compile errors.
In the case on Free BSD,use comannd "gmake" instead of command "make".
To build al
  cd ws/src
  ./configure
  make
To build the runtime libraries and the application builder
  cd ws/src
  ./configure
  make runtime
To build the runtime libraries for debugging.
  cd ws/src
  ./configure
  make debug
If finished building, please confirm whether there is the application builder (ws/bin/wsbuilder). If exists,it is success. Execute the following command by super user to install it.
  cd ws/src
  make install


Installing with the binary rpm package on Linux operating system

It is easy to install with the binary rpm package. It requires no building the source code.
Execute the following command by super user to install it.
Notice: vX.X depends on the file version.

rpm -i ws-runtime-vXXXX.i386.rpm

WideStudio will be installed into the directory /usr/local/ws. The rpm package of WideStudio requires some C++ runtiime library rpm package, so it it occures some error like [libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 not found], please install it too.
