9. Installation and update

Installing

The installation must be performed in a Linux environment and then transfer the files to Windows.

Fetching for first use can be done with a command, for example git clone [email protected]:overcq/oux-windows.git.

On Linux: preparing ‟PCRE2” source files for “make-oux”

Then download ‟PCRE2” to a separate directory, execute “./autogen.sh” in it and copy the “.h” and “.c” files from the “src” directory to the “pcre2” directory. In the "config.h" file, add the line:

#define PCRE2_CODE_UNIT_WIDTH 8

Then compile the "pcre2_dftables.c" file into the program and create the source file "pcre2_default_tables.c" with the command:

clang -DHAVE_CONFIG_H pcre2_dftables.c && ./a.out pcre2_default_tables.c && rm a.out

You must share the directory of the projectʼs source files to Windows (e.g. as a network resource and copy, or upload).

On Windows: creation of the “make-oux” program

You need to create a new project of the ‛static library’ type (named “pcre2”) in the “pcre2” directory and add the “*.c” files. In the project options, add -D HAVE_CONFIG_H in the C compiler parameters. And build the project.

You need to create a new ‛console’ project (named “make-oux”) in the “make-oux” directory and add the “main.c” file. In the project options, add -fwrapv in the C compiler parameters and “../pcre2/pcre2.a” in the linker parameters.

Creation of “.c” files from “.cx” in OUX/C+ project modules and programs

Open a Command Prompt window and go to the "make-oux" directory and run "make-oux.exe" there.

Creation of modules and available programs

You should create new ‛DLL’ projects (named “oux-base” and “oux-window”) in the subdirectories of the “module” directory, respectively, and add -include E_cplus_S_to_libs.h -fwrapv in the project options to the C compiler parameters, and for the “oux-window” project, add -loux-base -lgdi32 in the linker parameters. And build these projects one by one.

You should create new ‛console’ projects in the subdirectories of the “program” directory and add -include E_cplus_S_to_libs.h -fwrapv in the C compiler parameters and in the linker parameters add the module libraries used by the program, e.g. -loux-base -loux-window. And build these projects one by one.

Launch one of the available programs

In the Command Prompt window, enter the relative path to the program (e.g. “..\program\gui\gui.exe”) and run it.

Updating and deleting

The user should make regular updates, e.g. with a command git pull.

The product does not install files on the system. To completely remove the product, you must delete the source file directories on Windows and Linux respectively.
