How to get FilterFoundry
31 
------------------------
60 peter 32 
 
192 daniel-mar 33 
Make a directory anywhere (e.g. C:\FilterFoundry\) for telegraphics plugins,
34 
then open the command line and type:
35 
	cd /d "C:\FilterFoundry\"
36 
	svn checkout https://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/common/trunk common
37 
	svn checkout https://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/filterfoundry/trunk filterfoundry
60 peter 38 
 
192 daniel-mar 39 
In our example, you should now have the directories
40 
	C:\FilterFoundry\common\
41 
	C:\FilterFoundry\filterfoundry\
107 dmarschall 42 
 
192 daniel-mar 43 
IMPORTANT: Your path must not contain whitespaces!
44 
For example, you must not use "C:\Users\John Doe\SVN\Filter Foundry\".

Build setup
48 
-----------
60 peter 49 
 
192 daniel-mar 50 
There is no special build setup required.
51 
Just open wpj\filterfoundry.wpj in Watcom's IDE
52 
and click "Make target".

Troubleshooting
56 
---------------
107 dmarschall 57 
 
192 daniel-mar 58 
- Please make sure that you must not have whitespaces in the pathname.
107 dmarschall 59 
 
60 
- If you get the error message "Fatal Error! 62:  Unable to open 'sdkddkver.h'", please open
61 
  pluginsdk\photoshopapi\photoshop\PITypes.h in your Adobe Photoshop SDK and
108 dmarschall 62 
  comment out the line "#include <sdkddkver.h> // for WINVER".
63 
  Alternatively, you can use an older version of the Photoshop SDK, or create an empty
64 
  sdkddkver.h file in your wpj folder.
107 dmarschall 65 
 
66 
- It is important that the correct calling convention is used.
67 
  The calling convention needs to be set in
68 
  Options -> C Compiler Switches -> Memory Model and Processor Switches.
69 
  There, select "Pentium Pro stack-based calling" (default is "Pentium Pro register based calling").
70 
  The wpj project should already have this setting applied.
71 
 
72 
- If you receive the error message "lex.yy.c(580): Error! E1009: Expecting ';' but found '1'",
73 
  check if the compiler directive "YY_SKIP_YYWRAP" is set.
192 daniel-mar 74 
  Go to Options -> C Compiler Switches -> Source switches, and add YY_SKIP_YYWRAP=1 .
107 dmarschall 75 
  The wpj project should already have this setting applied.
76 
 
192 daniel-mar 77 
- The path to the Photoshop SDK and to Win Flex/Bison (PreBuild event)
78 
  is already set in the project file. Please note that changing these
79 
  paths is a bit complicated. There are several bugs in OpenWatcom
80 
  where you can only make the pre-build-events shorter, but not longer).
81 
  Sometimes, some lines aren't even displayed!
82 
  You have to edit the WPJ file with a text editor.
83 
  Remember how many characters you have added or deleted,
84 
  and subtract or add them to the number written above the before-instructions
85 
  (currently 347). This is the number of bytes of the commands.

Remarks
192 daniel-mar 89 
-------
60 peter 90 
 
192 daniel-mar 91 
flex and bison are currently invoked as a batch process.
60 peter 92 
This is defined in the menu File->Before.
192 daniel-mar 93 
The IDE fails to build the project when filenames contain more than one dot.
61 peter 94 
Therefore the output files of bison and lex are renamed.
60 peter 95 
There is no error checking done.
96 
Probably it would be better to write a small wmake file for this purpose.
