This page describes the steps to configure proed4w. Don't let the amount of text on this page scare you: it really is not much work to get started.
Locate or create a directory in your PROPATH where you like to install tools, for example:
c:\p4gl\tools (existing directory, already in your PROPATH) c:\p4gl\tools\proparse (contains proparse.dll and sources) c:\p4gl\tools\prolint (contains prolint sources) c:\p4gl\tools\proed4w
Unzip the contents of proed4w.zip in directory tools: this will create subdirectories tools\proed4w and tools\adecomm. If all is well then you
should be able to "run proed4w\proed4w.p" without modifying the PROPATH.
Next you will have to customize a couple of configuration files. You can choose to let setup.w take care of all that, or you can choose to do it manually. I suggest you use setup.w first and maybe later optimize some things manually when needed.
That's all! You can skip the next paragraph and continue reading "Create a custom toolbar-button in ED for Windows".
Note: You can repeatedly run setup.w, it will never override existing settings except in directory proed4w/settings/setup.
If you didn't or couldn't simply run proed4w/setup.w, you can follow these steps instead:
regsvr32 c:\p4gl\tools\proed4w\msgblst32.ocx
c:\p4gl\tools\proed4w\proed4w.exe -c prolint -f "<NAME>" -cfg setup
(where c:\p4gl\tools\ needs to be replaced by the actual location on your PC).
A complete overview of parameters is on page "parameters".
Set "Error track type" to "Progress" and select "Show output window". You may also want to experiment with the radio-set "Save edited files".
The result will look like this screenshot:
c:\p4gl\tools\proed4w\proed4w.exe -c prolint-logwin
You don't have to create a custom toolbar-button but it makes life helluvalot easier: edit a source file, press the button and Prolint will inspect your modified source.
