Hi, so i am new to c++ and therefore code::blocks... have done a lot of googling and have managed to learn quite alot. generally, i am happy with my progress to date. i am using the MinGw 64-bit compiler. my system is windows 7 64-bit home premium. eventually, i want to build a RPG gui-based game. i've been using the wxsmith gui building tools to get a feel for it. building the gui isn't a major problem. i have a project with a main.ccp an other.cpp and a header.h file. with them, there are the two files that i have cut and pasted below = they are the gui files (one .ccp and the other a .h header file). now, all is okay until i try to compile the thing... the compiler gives me the fatal warning stating that there are missing files/directories.

is this because i haven't developed the gui facets enough? i don't think that is the problem here. if only things just worked... any help is good help, i think. thanks for any advice you might be able to offer.

MyDialog.cpp

#include "MyDialog.h"

   SetBackgroundColour(wxColour(129,130,94));
   SpinButton1 = new wxSpinButton(this, ID_SPINBUTTON1, wxPoint(208,216), wxDefaultSize, wxSP_VERTICAL|wxSP_ARROW_KEYS, _T("ID_SPINBUTTON1"));

It sounds like you do not have the wxWidgets library (properly) installed/setup. Refer to the documentation of how to do this on the Code::Blocks wiki (or possibly more up-to-date for building, the wxWidgets wiki).

By the way, whenever posting code or logs of some sort, please use code tags.

hello, i had wxWidgets 2.8.12 installed on my system, but i couldn't find any way to run it = no icon, or wotnot. how can i launch it? i have just installed wxWidgets 2.9.2 and, again, no icon or anything to launch the application... how is it done? from within code::blocks?

zabzonk · « **Reply #3 on:** November 03, 2011, 12:03:51 am »

wxWidgets is not an application. It's a library, and one that must be built and then linked with your application. Building wxWidgets on Windows is a bit fraught, so you may want to use the pre-compiled version which you can get from wxPack at http://wxpack.sourceforge.net.

Also, for a beginner programmer I would not recommend using the 64-bit version of MinGW. Just because your platform is notionally 64-bit does not mean that you have to use a 64-bit compiler. Use the 32-bit one at http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net

blue orb · « **Reply #4 on:** November 03, 2011, 09:27:17 am »

after a complete re-install of code::blocks, i am back using minGW 32-bit. now, the 32-bit version is throwing-up lots more errors than minGW 64-bit did. do i need to configure wxsmith for current project? i didn't want to tamper with its settings too much. other than that, the settings ==> global variables ==> builtin fields?

To write wxWidget applications, you need the wxWidgets libraries and header files. These are not part of Code::Blocks or of the GCC compiler, but must be installed separately. You can get a pre-built version of the wxWidgets libraries from wxPack at http://wxpack.sourceforge.net. If you do not use wxPack, you will have to build wxWidgets yourself - this is not something I would recommend you try doing.

Have you installed wxWidgets?

blue orb · « **Reply #6 on:** November 03, 2011, 10:17:19 am »

i have both wxWidgets 2.8.12 and wxWidgets 2.9.2 installed. i have also installed wxPack. how do i link wxPack to code::blocks?

thanks!

zabzonk · « **Reply #7 on:** November 03, 2011, 10:24:47 am »

When you create a wxWidgets project in Code::Blocks, one of the things the Project Wizard asks you is for the directory you installed wxWidgets in (the one that contains the include and lib directories). Start a new wxProject, and make sure that this setting is set correctly, pointing to the wxPack installation.

I've just done this, and built the small Hello World wxWidget project with no problems.

blue orb · « **Reply #8 on:** November 03, 2011, 10:55:07 am »

the wxPack folder (on my c: drive) only contains a few files + an unistaller. it isn't very populated. does wxPack install to another location, too? though wxFormBuilder installed okay and is working.fine. the question i really want to ask, is, how are wxsmith, wxWidgets, wxPack, code::blocks and wxFormBuilder interweaved?

zabzonk · « **Reply #9 on:** November 03, 2011, 11:05:09 am »

That is the directory used by the installer. When you ran the wxPack installer, it will have asked you "Where should wxWidgets Compiled be installed?" It is that directory that contains the include files and libraries.

As for the relationship between the components, wxWidgets is a library. Applications like Code::Blocks, wxFormBuilder, and whatever it is that you are trying to write, use that library.

blue orb · « **Reply #10 on:** November 03, 2011, 03:14:43 pm »

wxPack was in a folder on my c:drive, named SourceCode. that is now sorted out, i hope. as a note, my code now runs much faster than it did ==over twice as fast infact==. but, i am still getting errors... using wxsmith from within my existing project just halts at the same place as it used to, that's missing header files! a new wxWidgets project mostly compiles but generates the errors in the text that i have added to this post. what else can i do to fix this?

Hi, blue orb:
see: wxPack | Main / HomePage browse
It said:

There is a new release of wxPack that supports wxWidgets v2.8.12. This release only has MinGW GCC v4.4.1-tdm_dw2 and Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 libraries included. Please give feedback. Download now.

Also, you should note that there are two type of mingw GCC. One is SJLJ, and the other is DW2, the wxPack was build from a dw2 version of gcc, so I guess you need to use a dw2 version of GCC. So, you need to use a dw2 version of TDM gcc.

zabzonk · « **Reply #12 on:** November 03, 2011, 04:26:08 pm »

@ollydbg

Hmm. I have the "standard" TDM download which is built with:

--enable-sjlj-exceptions

and this compiles, links and runs perfectly with wxPack.

@blue orb

Those are the errors you tend to get when you link C++ code only with the C runtime libraries. Did you create your project using the wxWidgets project wizard? Is there any way you could have told whatever you created it with that you were writing the code in C?

blue orb · « **Reply #13 on:** November 03, 2011, 04:37:38 pm »

i've just tried the DW2 compiler, and get the same errors. it must be something that i am doing wrong with code::blocks and/or wxFormBuilder? what might the problem be with wxFormBuilder? labelling files wrongly? using generate inherited class wrongly?

zabzonk · « **Reply #14 on:** November 03, 2011, 04:42:41 pm »

Forget wxformbuilder for the moment. Have you built a simple do-nothing wxWidgets project using the Code::Blocks wxWidgets project Wizard? If so, did it work? If not, please do so.

blue orb · « **Reply #15 on:** November 03, 2011, 04:46:06 pm »

afaik, i have only ever used c++ files = .h and .cpp. i have never used c files.

the wxWidgets project was a wx\widgets from ground-up.

i will try another wxWidgets project again, now.

blue orb · « **Reply #16 on:** November 03, 2011, 04:58:52 pm »

just tried a fresh wxWidgets project from within code:blocks. that won't compile either. am i using wxFormBuilder's/code:blocks' gui tools wrongly?

zabzonk · « **Reply #17 on:** November 03, 2011, 05:07:23 pm »

OK, one last thing. Check that you are building with the correct tools. In Code::Blocks, go to Settings|Compiler and Debugger... and in the resulting dialog select the Toolchain Executables tab. Take a look the C++ Compiler and Linker for Dynamic libs entries - they should both be set to "mingw32-g++.exe". If somehow they have got set to "mingw32-gcc.exe" or something similar, that will cause problems.

If that fails, can you post the build log as an attachment. You might need to enable its creation in the Compiler and Debugger dialog's Build Options tab. It will be created in your project root directory and will be called something like myproj_build_log.html.

blue orb · « **Reply #18 on:** November 03, 2011, 05:20:02 pm »

i am so so happy:))

that worked!! the dynamic lib was set wrongly...

thank you for all your help with this!
