cannot find -1C:\wxWidgets-3.1.3

(1/3) > >>

HairyHugh:
Hi
I am following the PB's Guide to starting with xwWidgets on Microsoft Windows with MinGW and Code::Blocks. I am using Windows10, on a 64 bit system. I have set WXWIN correctly (CMD.exe and cd %WXWIN" works OK).
I am using wxWidgets-3.1.3, Code::Blocks 20.03 and C:\mingw-w64\i686-8.1.0-posix-sjlj-rt_v6-rev0
I have gone through the whole process and successfully run the wxWidgets minimal sample prior to using Code:Blocks.
However when trying to compile and run the test app in Code::Blocks I get an error:
ld.exe cannot find -1C:\wxWidgets. I have double checked all of the options I can see and they all look OK. Also searched for this error message but not found it anywhere.
I assume I am missing some directive but am unable to find it.

Miguel Gimenez:
You are using the digit '1' and it is an invalid option. This option should be added automatically by C::B, so you must be messing something in the project options.

Please post a full rebuild log:

Hi Miguel
Thanks for response. Not sure where the 1 comes from, I cannot see it anywhere in options. Full build log below

Miguel Gimenez:
C::B uses a lower case 'L', probably you mistook it for a '1' when writing the subject.
The -l option specifies a file to link, you are supplying a folder instead. Look for C:\wxWidgets3.1.3 in Linker settings -> Link libraries and remove it.

HairyHugh:
I have looked under projects\build options and setting\compiler and cannot find it anywhere there.
