VIDE
Here are extremely short usage info tips:
- First of all, set paths to compilers in Tools/Environment/
Compilers menu.
- Then open with File/Open Solution.. solution VideExamples.videsol
located in Examples subdirectory.
- One only project at time can be active and only one file of each
project can be active (i.e. send to compiler when you Compile project).
Active items are displayed with bold font in Solution Explorer
(and active project's name is also in main window's caption).
- To change active project or active file right click on it in
Solution Explorer and select Activate item in popup menu.
You can also add/remove/rename/... items in Solution Explorer
this way. Some of these actions ca also be accessed trough main menu
(always for active project here).
- Try to compile an run some examples in VideExamples solution.
You can use Solution/Build All command to build all projects at once.
If you supplied paths to both Delphi and Free Pascal all projects should
compile successfully. If you do not have one of compilers installed
change used compiler in Project/Options menu for projects which use
compiler which you do not have. Except FPCSamles all projects
in VideExamples can be compiled in both Delphi and Free Pascal.
- If you rename (not save as) solution/project/file old file
will be deleted.
- If you want to recompile Vide you will need SynEdit component,
Numalian Engine and VCL Action Bands patch. All of these
(in versions used to build this version of Vide) can be found
in Source/Dependencies.
- You can change many Vide settings in Tools/Environment and
Tools/Editor Properties.
- If you change project type to DLL from other type, .dll file
will not be generated . You must manualy change 'program' reserved word
with 'library' word in project's active file.
- Do not forget to add some serach paths in Environment/Paths menu.
Additionaly default serch paths for both compilers are used.
It is (COMILERROOT)\Lib for Delphi and (COMILERROOT)\units\win32 for
Free Pascal.
