to make a short story , of a long one, made of 9.5 hours of systematic
testing
of different scenarios...

The WxWindows 2.4.2 problems i talk about, in a prevous post,
comes from the dmc headers, and not from the compiler exe or dll or libs.
But i dont know, if the problems lies in only one or in many headers.

After many others test, i made a dmc 8.39 clean install, then add the 8.40
beta files.

scppn display 8.40.1

I did a full rebuild of wx 2.4.2, and none of the samples worked.
I then begun to add, one by one, each of the following compoments
of dmc 8.37 :
   scppn.exe of 8.37,
   dmc.exe
   snn.lib
   and finally the headers of dmc 8.3.7
( that almost all the differences between 8.37 and 8.40)

After each new component, i did rebuild the libs of Wx, and
then try one of the samples.

To my surprise, the sample tested, worked only after i added the
8.37 header files

I then tried all the samples, they almost all worked.

In doing that testing, i gathered some information.

If you do a clean install of 8.39, you no longer have rcc.exe and implib.exe
i used the one coming with the dmc-cd.

dmc compiler: ( both C and CPP runs )
   #defines __DMC__, __SC__, _WIN32

but none of the others defines used in the defines mentionned in a preceding
post.

there are 71 samples with wx. Only 55 compiles ok.
i did not looked why, but i have some logs i can use to known which one
builds and which ones do not build and why.


Well, I am done.
