Here's a little guide to installing DJGPP stuff under CodeWright.

First a bit of background.  CodeWright is a flexible editor that can
manage compilation.  To do that, it calls your favorite compiler,
redirecting its output to a file, then it parses the file to
detect what problems where encountered.

STEP 1 - The Parser

   You need a specific parser to use CW with DJGPP: ERRPARSE.ZIP.  
   Download it at "http://www.premia.com/download"
   Unzip that file and read the readme file.  It says you have to
   copy the dlls to the CW directory.

      PKUNZIP ERRPARSE.ZIP
      COPY *.dll C:\CWRIGHT

   To make CW use the right file, you must add the following line in
   the file CWRIGHT.INI under the [LibPreLoad] tag:

      LibPreload = errparse.dll

   If you have the 32 bit version of CodeWright, use errpars32.dll.

STEP 2 - The Makefile

   The best thing is to use a makefile.  Write one, I'll wait here.

   ...

   There.  Now edit your Makefile and find the line where the actual
   compilation takes place.  Add this redirection statement to it
   "  2>proj.err".  On my system, I have:

      $(COMPILE_CC) 2>C:/PATH/PROJ.ERR
   
   Notice the FORWARD slashes.  This statement redirects the STDERR
   device to the file PROJ.ERR.

STEP 3 - Configuring this thing

   Go right into CodeWright, and go to the PROJECT/PROPERTIES.  Set all 
   your directories to the current project.
   
3.1 - Tools tab / Project Tools

   Here you'll configure CW to execute MAKE when building or rebuilding.  
   Select BUILD:

         Redirect Output = OFF            No Command Shell = ON
         Save current    = OFF            Save All         = ON
         Background      = whatever       Use VDOS         = OFF

         COMMAND LINE:    make

   Do the same with REBUILD.  

3.2 - Errors tab

   Error Filename: PROJ.ERR (same as in the Makefile)
   Error Parser 1:  (select "gccErrorInfo" in the list)

3.3 - Other stuff

   In the Tools tab, you might want to configure the debugger 
   (command line: GDB FILE.EXE) and VCS if you want.

   Also, you might want to specify what FILTERS to use.  There's
   a ton of things you can configure!

STEP 4 - Hun, that's it.

I hope this will help you.
