How to hook TLIB into the Watcom C/C++ 10.5 IDE, in 3 easy steps:


1) First, copy these GEN_CO.BAT and GEN_CI.BAT into your \WATCOM\BINW\
   directory, and copy GEN_CO.CMD and GEN_CI.CMD into your \WATCOM\BINP\
   directory.  (You may want to first rename the old versions of these
   files to *.BAK.)  If you use Windows-NT, then you should also copy
   GEN_CI.CMD and GEN_CO.CMD into the \WATCOM\BINNT\ directory.

2) Second, in the Watcom IDE, click "File", click "Set Source Control",
   and click "Other".  (That tells the Watcom IDE to invoke the GEN_*
   batch scripts when you select "Check In Source" or "Check Out Source"
   under "Sources" on the menu bar.)

3) Third, add the following iff/endif block (except for the "cut here"
   lines) to the end your TLIB configuration file (usually TLIB.CFG in
   the directory into which TLIB was installed):

---------------------------------( cut here )---------------------------------
iff '%FROM_WATCOM_IDE%' eq '1'
  REM  say This is %TLIBCFG:CURFILE%, TLIB was invoked from Watcom's IDE!
  queries n
  errorpaus 0
  exitpause n
  colorize n
  quiet y
  slickepsi y
endif
---------------------------------( cut here )---------------------------------



==============================================================================
Note: the replacement GEN_CI.* and GEN_CO.* files look like this:


GEN_CI.CMD:
---------------------------------( cut here )---------------------------------
@echo off
@echo This is %WATCOM%\binp\gen_ci.cmd.
@rem   From IDE: Name=%1, File Containing Message=%2, Project=%3, Target=%4
@set FROM_WATCOM_IDE=1
tlib2 uw %1 @%2
@set FROM_WATCOM_IDE=
---------------------------------( cut here )---------------------------------

GEN_CI.BAT:
---------------------------------( cut here )---------------------------------
@echo off
@echo This is %WATCOM%\binw\gen_ci.bat.
@rem   From IDE: Name=%1, File Containing Message=%2, Project=%3, Target=%4
@set FROM_WATCOM_IDE=1
tlibx uw %1 @%2
@set FROM_WATCOM_IDE=
---------------------------------( cut here )---------------------------------

GEN_CO.CMD:
---------------------------------( cut here )---------------------------------
@echo off
@echo This is %WATCOM%\binp\gen_co.cmd.
@rem   From IDE: pause=%1, name=%2, project=%3, target=%4
@set FROM_WATCOM_IDE=1
@if [%2]==[] goto from_editor
tlib2 el %2
@goto aftr_vcs
:from_editor
@rem   Note: This is also called from the Editor,
@rem         in which case the only parameter is the name (%1)
tlib2 el %1
@goto done
:aftr_vcs
@if [%1]==[no_pause] goto done
pause
:done
@set FROM_WATCOM_IDE=
---------------------------------( cut here )---------------------------------

GEN_CO.BAT:
---------------------------------( cut here )---------------------------------
@echo off
@echo This is %WATCOM%\binw\gen_co.bat.
@rem   From IDE: pause=%1, name=%2, project=%3, target=%4
@set FROM_WATCOM_IDE=1
@if [%2]==[] goto from_editor
tlibx el %2
@goto aftr_vcs

@rem   Note: This is also called from the Editor,
@rem         in which case the only parameter is the name (%1)
tlibx el %1
