Installing codeblocks with wxWidgets on Window 10 [SOLVED]

[ArakelTheDragon]

Good day! I have a lot of problems getting wxWidgets to work on Windows 10. I have had better luck on Ubuntu, than Windows.

Steps to install:
1. Download and unpack codeblocks-17.12mingw-nosetup.zip from codeblocks.org
2. Add the environmental variables for GCC.
3. Compile wxWidgets with the following command
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 UNICODE=1 or mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release
4. Original error was wx/setup.h now found. This was solved by adding directories and libraries to settings -> compiler -> search directories and settings -> compiler -> Linker settings, which led to the following result:

The compiler and everything is on a portable drive.[/code]
I tried all solutions on google, it does not work.

Sorry for the double post.

I tried with a different project and now it shows:

Code

3. Compile wxWidgets with the following command
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 UNICODE=1 or mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release

If you used both of those I think you need to delete the wxWidgets folder and start again!
I have never had good luck switching between MONOLITHIC and non-MONOLITHIC (multi-libs) build in the same build folder.

To build Code::Blocks on Windows MONOLITHIC is best and required if building with CB Projects.

Note: You do not seem to be building Code::Blocks; but, just using Code::Blocks.

I tried this option, it did not work.

EDIT:
Ok, I solved it by re-building a new wxWidgets directory with monolithic only and after that I removed the directories and libraries that I have added in the search directories for the linker and compiler and in the linker settings like I have mentioned in the previous post.
