Build Wizard Limitations

1.  The build wizard loads the INI file during the application's call to InitInstance(). This means that any custom build configurations should:

  • Initially specify the Default settings.
  • Proceed to the Build Wizard Component Selection panel (Figure 4 above) to specify customizations.
  • Return to the Build Configuration panel to specify a unique name for the configuration.

    • This process ensures that when you complete the Build Wizard the name and options are saved correctly in the custom.bwc file. The next time the Build Wizard is started, the Default and all custom configurations defined should appear correctly.

    The Chart build wizard requires either the selection of the Standard Build option or one or more of the Discrete Chart options, but not both. Selecting both the Standard Build option and one or more of the Discrete Chart options will result in build errors.

    2. The build Wizard does not launch an instance of Visual Studio. All the required build files — i.e. mak files, config files, dll source files, and so on — are updated when the Close button is selected at the end of the Build Wizard. You will then need to do one of the following:

  • Run Visual Studio manually.
  • Run Studio Assistant.
  • Build the libraries from your own scripts.
