Dick Hollenbeck a985255f95 add back missing pcbnew cross probing event handlers. eeschema launches kiface versions of pcbnew & cvpcb if not single. 2014-04-19 23:35:34 -05:00
Dick Hollenbeck f9f3ff22dc hook top frame with KIWAY::playerDestroyHandler() 2014-04-19 14:44:59 -05:00
Dick Hollenbeck ea66e572a0 KIWAY::dso_full_path() was more incomplete. 2014-04-19 13:58:32 -05:00
Dick Hollenbeck 0d6560a218 *) Switch kicad.exe to using KIFACE modules for all major top level windows.
Eeschema, Pcbnew, and Cvpcb all run under the same process now,
    FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!

*)  Added KIWAY::PlayerCreate(), PlayerClose(), and PlayersClose().

*)  Factored FRAME_T into <frame_type.h> from ID_DRAWFRAME_TYPE.

*)  Found that the following command line is helpful for collecting all the *.kiface
    files into the <build>/kicad/ directory so that kicad can find them.

      $ cp `find . -name '*.kiface'` kicad/

    Maybe somebody will want to rework how the CMake files are organized so all
    the binaries can go into the same place.  See python-a-mingw-us.

*)  This might fix the problem on the Mac where child process windows were not
    coming to the front.  See ->Raise() in kicad/mainframe.cpp.

*)  You can set USE_KIFACE to 0 in kicad/mainframe.cpp to chain load child exes
    instead of using the KIFACE modules directly, i.e. revert.

Dick Hollenbeck 5f65d0da93 *) Add KIFACE_I::StartFlags() and IsSingle() so a KIFACE implementation can know
if it is running under single_top.cpp or under a project manager.

*)  Test Kiface().IsSingle() when adding menus, some operations are not permitted
    when running under a project manager and the KIWAY_PLAYER is pegged to a
    specific project.

*)  Implemented KIWAY::KiFACE() so it loads *.kiface files.  They still have to be
    in the same directory as the main *.exe launcher, so this presents some difficulty
    when the binaries are not yet installed but rather the *.kiface files are still
    in their original build directories.  For today, I simply copied _pcbnew.kiface
    to build/kicad/.

*)  Add a test case to kicad/mainframe.cpp just to get an early peek at loading
    _pcbnew.kiface under the C++ project manager.  Got that working for one
    specific invocation just for proof of concept.  Surprise, it works.

Dick Hollenbeck 2c67c3ff80 * KIWAY Milestone A): Make major modules into DLL/DSOs.
!   The initial testing of this commit should be done using a Debug build so that
    all the wxASSERT()s are enabled.  Also, be sure and keep enabled the
    USE_KIWAY_DLLs option.  The tree won't likely build without it.  Turning it
    off is senseless anyways.  If you want stable code, go back to a prior version,
    the one tagged with "stable".

*   Relocate all functionality out of the wxApp derivative into more finely
    targeted purposes:
    a) DLL/DSO specific
    b) PROJECT specific
    c) EXE or process specific
    d) configuration file specific data
    e) configuration file manipulations functions.

    All of this functionality was blended into an extremely large wxApp derivative
    and that was incompatible with the desire to support multiple concurrently
    loaded DLL/DSO's ("KIFACE")s and multiple concurrently open projects.
    An amazing amount of organization come from simply sorting each bit of
    functionality into the proper box.

*   Switch to wxConfigBase from wxConfig everywhere except instantiation.
*   Add classes KIWAY, KIFACE, KIFACE_I, SEARCH_STACK, PGM_BASE, PGM_KICAD,
    PGM_SINGLE_TOP,
*   Remove "Return" prefix on many function names.
*   Remove obvious comments from CMakeLists.txt files, and from else() and endif()s.
*   Fix building boost for use in a DSO on linux.
*   Remove some of the assumptions in the CMakeLists.txt files that windows had
    to be the host platform when building windows binaries.
*   Reduce the number of wxStrings being constructed at program load time via
    static construction.
*   Pass wxConfigBase* to all SaveSettings() and LoadSettings() functions so that
    these functions are useful even when the wxConfigBase comes from another
    source, as is the case in the KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME.
*   Move the setting of the KIPRJMOD environment variable into class PROJECT,
    so that it can be moved into a project variable soon, and out of FP_LIB_TABLE.
*   Add the KIWAY_PLAYER which is associated with a particular PROJECT, and all
    its child wxFrames and wxDialogs now have a Kiway() member function which
    returns a KIWAY& that that window tree branch is in support of.  This is like
    wxWindows DNA in that child windows get this member with proper value at time
    of construction.
*   Anticipate some of the needs for milestones B) and C) and make code
    adjustments now in an effort to reduce work in those milestones.
*   No testing has been done for python scripting, since milestone C) has that
    being largely reworked and re-thought-out.
