| 192 | daniel-mar | 8 | Prerequisites |
| 9 | ------------- |
||
| 107 | dmarschall | 10 | |
| 11 | 1) Flex and Bison |
||
| 192 | daniel-mar | 12 | Available here: |
| 13 | https://sourceforge.net/projects/winflexbison/ |
||
| 107 | dmarschall | 14 | |
| 15 | 2) Adobe Photoshop SDK |
||
| 192 | daniel-mar | 16 | Available on some Photoshop CDs, or can be downloaded at |
| 17 | https://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshop/sdk.html |
||
| 107 | dmarschall | 18 | |
| 61 | peter | 19 | 3) Watcom 1.6beta RC1 or later |
| 192 | daniel-mar | 20 | Available here: |
| 21 | http://www.openwatcom.org/ |
||
| 22 | After installing, do a reboot, or set the environment manually. |
||
| 60 | peter | 23 | |

| 193 | daniel-mar | 25 | Build setup |
| 26 | ----------- |
||
| 107 | dmarschall | 27 | |
| 193 | daniel-mar | 28 | There is no special build setup required. |
| 29 | Just open wpj\filterfoundry.wpj in Watcom's IDE and click "Make target". |
||
| 60 | peter | 30 | |
| 192 | daniel-mar | 31 | IMPORTANT: Your path must not contain whitespaces! |
| 32 | For example, you must not use "C:\Users\John Doe\SVN\Filter Foundry\". |
||
| 107 | dmarschall | 33 | |

| 192 | daniel-mar | 35 | Troubleshooting |
| 36 | --------------- |
||
| 107 | dmarschall | 37 | |
| 192 | daniel-mar | 38 | - Please make sure that you must not have whitespaces in the pathname. |
| 107 | dmarschall | 39 | |
| 204 | daniel-mar | 40 | - Missing **sdkddkver.h**: |
| 41 | * In OpenWatcom 1.9: |
||
| 42 | If you get the error message "Fatal Error! 62: Unable to open 'sdkddkver.h'", please open |
||
| 43 | pluginsdk\photoshopapi\photoshop\PITypes.h in your Adobe Photoshop SDK and |
||
| 44 | comment out the line "#include <sdkddkver.h> // for WINVER". |
||
| 384 | daniel-mar | 45 | Alternatively, you can create an empty sdkddkver.h file in your wpj folder. |
| 204 | daniel-mar | 46 | * In Open Watcom 2.0: |
| 47 | The error message has the error code E062. |
||
| 48 | Creating an empty sdkddkver.h does not work anymore. |
||
| 49 | You need to comment out the line in PITypes.h. |
||
| 107 | dmarschall | 50 | |
| 51 | - It is important that the correct calling convention is used. |
||
| 52 | The calling convention needs to be set in |
||
| 53 | Options -> C Compiler Switches -> Memory Model and Processor Switches. |
||
| 54 | There, select "Pentium Pro stack-based calling" (default is "Pentium Pro register based calling"). |
||
| 55 | The wpj project should already have this setting applied. |
||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | - If you receive the error message "lex.yy.c(580): Error! E1009: Expecting ';' but found '1'", |
||
| 58 | check if the compiler directive "YY_SKIP_YYWRAP" is set. |
||
| 192 | daniel-mar | 59 | Go to Options -> C Compiler Switches -> Source switches, and add YY_SKIP_YYWRAP=1 . |
| 107 | dmarschall | 60 | The wpj project should already have this setting applied. |
| 61 | |||
| 192 | daniel-mar | 62 | - The path to the Photoshop SDK and to Win Flex/Bison (PreBuild event) |
| 63 | is already set in the project file. Please note that changing these |
||
| 64 | paths is a bit complicated. There are several bugs in OpenWatcom |
||
| 65 | where you can only make the pre-build-events shorter, but not longer). |
||
| 66 | You have to edit the WPJ file with a text editor. |
||
| 67 | Remember how many characters you have added or deleted, |
||
| 68 | and subtract or add them to the number written above the before-instructions |
||
| 214 | daniel-mar | 69 | (currently 367). This is the number of bytes of the commands. |
| 107 | dmarschall | 70 | |
| 198 | daniel-mar | 71 | - In the code, it is important that all variables are declared at the |
| 72 | top of the scope (curly brackets) and that there is no executable code or |
||
| 73 | assignments in between. |

| 60 | peter | 76 | Remarks |
| 192 | daniel-mar | 77 | ------- |
| 60 | peter | 78 | |
| 192 | daniel-mar | 79 | flex and bison are currently invoked as a batch process. |
| 60 | peter | 80 | This is defined in the menu File->Before. |
| 192 | daniel-mar | 81 | The IDE fails to build the project when filenames contain more than one dot. |
| 61 | peter | 82 | Therefore the output files of bison and lex are renamed. |
| 60 | peter | 83 | There is no error checking done. |
| 84 | Probably it would be better to write a small wmake file for this purpose. |
