| 2 | =================== |
||
| 3 | |||
| 4 | 1) flex and bison |
||
| 5 | The easiest way to get these (and many other useful GNU tools) is described here: |
||
| 6 | http://getgnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ |
||
| 7 | Set path variable to the binaries |
||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | 2) Photoshop 6.0 SDK |
||
| 10 | Available from Photoshop 6.0 CD |

| 11 | |||

| 60 | peter | 13 | Available here: |

| 15 | |||
| 61 | peter | 16 | 4) SVN client |
| 60 | peter | 17 | After installing Watcom get the command line svn client: |
| 18 | http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/34093/svn-1.4.0-setup.exe |
||
| 19 | After installing all these reboot, or set the environment manually |
||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | How to get filterfoundry: |
||
| 22 | =========================== |
||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | Make a directory anywhere for telegraphics plugins, remember, no spaces in pathname |
||
| 25 | cd into the directory. |
||
| 26 | type |
||
| 27 | svn checkout http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/common/trunk common |
||
| 28 | svn checkout http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/filterfoundry/trunk filterfoundry |
||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | How to build: |
||
| 31 | =============== |
||
| 32 | Hint: |
||
| 33 | If you never used Watcom to build Photoshop plugins best start with the |
||
| 34 | countcolours plugin and ensure it compiles. Read the HowTo. |
||
| 35 | Look for it at http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/ or get it with |
||
| 36 | svn checkout http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/countcolours/trunk countcolours |
||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | Open filterfoundry.wpj in Watcom's IDE. |
||
| 39 | In menu File->Before set the path to your Photoshop SDK. |
||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | Thats all, you can build the project then. |
||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | Remarks |
||
| 44 | ========= |
||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | flex and bison are currently invoked as batch process. |
||
| 47 | This is defined in the menu File->Before. |
||
| 48 | The ide fails to build the project when filenames contain more than one dot. |
||
| 61 | peter | 49 | Therefore the output files of bison and lex are renamed. |
| 60 | peter | 50 | There is no error checking done. |
| 51 | Probably it would be better to write a small wmake file for this purpose. |
||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | If there are problems building or using the watcom generated plugin please |
||
| 54 | inform me. |
||
| 55 | I dont regulary use filterfoundry but I checked all examples if they work. |
||
| 56 | I used Photoline 32, available at www.pl32.com to check it, because it has very |
||
| 57 | flexible configuration (multiple paths) for plugins, very good plugin compatibility, |
||
| 58 | (16 and 8 bit) and fast startup time. |
||
