BUILDING TEXNICCENTER

1. Build regexpp-lib:
   a) Open a command line
   b) Ensure that the environment variables, required to use the command line
      tools of Visual C++ 6 are setup properly. If you are not sure if this is
      the case, then execute the 'VCVARS32.BAT' file from the command line, 
      which should be located in the directory 'VC98\BIN' in your Visual C++
      program directory (i.e. 'C:\Program Files\Visual C++').
   c) Change into the 'regexpp\lib\directory'
   d) Execute the 'VC6.BAT' file to build the library

2. Copy the files

	mre200dl.dll
	mre200dl.ilk
	mre200dl.pdb

   from the 'regexpp\lib' directory to the 'output\Debug' directory.

3. Copy the file

	mre200l.dll

   from the 'regexpp\lib' directory to the 'output\Release' directory.

4. Download the HTML Help Workshop from Microsoft, install it on your system 
   (including the necessary header files) and add the directory that includes
   the header files to the list of include directories in the Visual C++ 6 
   options ('Tools -> Options -> Directories -> Include folders').

5. Download the BCGControlBarLibrary header- and lib-files from 

   	http://www.toolscenter.org/products/texniccenter/download.htm

   and unpack the ZIP-archive to the directory, this file (HowToBuild.txt) is
   placed in.

6. Install Microsoft XML Parser:
   a) Download the most recent version of the Microsoft XML Parser 4 (MSXML4) including the
      SDK from 'http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/'
   b) Install it on your system.
   c) Add the include and library paths of MSXML to the list in Visual C++ 6
      ('Tools -> Options ->Directories').

7. Open the TeXnicCenter-workspace ('TeXnicCenter\TeXnicCenter.dsw') in Visual C++.

8. Build the debug and release versions of TeXnicCenter

9. Build the TeXnicCenter-Help-File using HTML Help Workshop with the 
    'TCHelp\TeXnicCenter.hhp' project

10. Copy all files matching

	*.chm
    or

	*.chw

    from the 'output' directory to the 'output\debug\help' and 'output\release\help' directory.

10. Copy the files

	GPL_english.htm
	GPL_german.htm
	Tips_english.txt
	Tips_german.txt
	UserImages.bmp

    from the 'TeXnicCenter' directory to

	a) the 'output\debug' directory
	b) the 'output\release' directory

11. Copy all files matching '*.xsd' from the 'TeXnicCenter\xmlschema' directory to 'output\debug' and
    'output\release'

12. Create a directory called 'language' in the 'output\debug' and in the 'output\release' directory.

13. Copy the files

	*.aff
	*.dic

    from the 'MySpell' directory to

	a) the 'output\debug\language' directory
	b) the 'output\release\language' directoy
