wxSmith - "wchar_t must be available"

[tonyhibbert]

Firstly apologies if this is in the wrong forum.

I have some experience in C++ but I am brand new to trying to make a wxSmith GUI.

I followed some instructions on the internet on how to set it up, so I have;

Installed wxSmith
Set up a project on codeblocks

I tried to build it once it was done, as per the instructions, but I got a wx/setup.h needs to be included message. I found this to be a very common problem and so I found the solution on the internet.

However, now when I build the program I get the following error;

mingw32-g++.exe -pipe -mthreads -D__GNUWIN32__ -D__WXMSW__ -Wall -g -D__WXDEBUG__ -std=c++11 -IC:\wxWidgets-3.1.0\include -I\mswd -IC:\Code_Goes_Here\nearlyobsolete -c C:\Code_Goes_Here\nearlyobsolete\nearlyobsoleteApp.cpp -o obj\Debug\nearlyobsoleteApp.o

C:\wxWidgets-3.1.0\include/wx/chartype.h:37:6: error: #error "wchar_t must be available"
     #error "wchar_t must be available"

I have looked to the internet for answers but couldnt find anything useful so I have signed up and posted a question here!

I am using a dell laptop with windows 10. I have codeblocks 16.01 and wxSmith 3.1.0

Thanks in advance

Sounds like a missing header file to me. If so, that would be a programming problem and not a Code::Blocks one, but as a first guess, try #include'ing <wchar.h>, or whatever the C++ equivalents is.

Thanks RLB!

The problem is I haven't written any code myself yet, this has all been generated as I set up the wxsmith project! That was my initial thought too, but I don't know where I would put this in!?

Cheers

How did you get the wxWidgets 3.1.0 binaries?
Edit: If you downloaded the wxWidgets 3.1.0 binaries; please post a link to the download site.

If you built them yourself; what was the build command(s)?
