= On Linux =

Here used Ubuntu. First download from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ the latest C++ setup for Eclipse.
Do not use apt-get since it is way to old, and did not work with Cmake its eclipse generator.
I downloaded: eclipse-cpp-galileo-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz You just unpack this file to a directory within your home, and later on start eclipse that is in there. 

I assume you have wxWidgets compiled and installed as explained in UbuntuInstall.

Use Cmake (e.g. cmake-gui) to generate a new build directory at the same level as wxArt2D.
{{{
cd /home/me/wxArt2D/..
mkdir buildEclipseDeb
cd /home/me/buildEclipseDeb
cmake-gui ../wxArt2D
}}}

Of course you used the '''Eclipse generator CDT4 - Unix Makefile'''.
Now you are ready to start eclipse, and import the generated projects.
See here on how to do that: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/Eclipse_CDT4_Generator

= Using Eclipse with package Wascana and Mingw =

First install [[http://wascana.sourceforge.net/|Wascana]].
This gives you a read to use Mingw environment to use.
But wxArt2D wants a static build of wxWidgets (debug and release or best).

Next install wxMSW in order to compile a debug version of wxWidgets for Mingw.

Start a shell:

c:\tools\Wascana\msys\msys.bat 

This will open in your home directory, and in windows that is something like: ''c:\Documents and Settings\klaas\My Documents\Wascana Workspaces\home\klaas\'' <<BR>>
So i installed  wxMSW-2.8.9-Setup.exe into that directory as '''wxwin'''.
In your MSYS unix shell, you now type: 
 * cd wxwin
 * cd ..
 * mkdir debugbuild
 * cd debugbuild
 * ../wxwin/configure --enable-debug --enable-debug-gdb --disable-shared
 * make
 * make install
 * cd contrib
 * make
 * make install

In case of release use:

 * ./configure --disable-shared

Now extend your path in order to find '''wx-config''' from here: '''PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH'''

Now use '''c:/tools/cmake/bin/CMakeSetup.exe''' to generate project files for your Eclipse IDE.
 * Where is the source code: '''C:\soft\wxartcvs\wxArt2D'''
 * Where to build the binaries: '''C:\soft\wxartcvs\wx288eclip'''

The generator type to use is: '''Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles'''


One of the Cache values should be: '''wxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE C:/tools/Wascana/msys/local/bin/wx-config'''
The option '''wxWidgest_USE_DEBUG''' should be set to OFF, if you want to work with release build later on.

After CMakeSetup.exe has finished, you can make wxArt2D, by typing make in '''C:\soft\wxartcvs\wx288eclip'''
