wxWidgets 2.8 problem

[jack32]

im am trying to get Code::Blocks to work with wxWidgets 2.8.5

after reading several tutorials and trying many settings

i finally get this error:

i can start all over again and reinstall code blocks and compile wxWidgets again, if you name me a tutorial that works.

What is your OS version? WinXP SP2?

Which drive is MinGW GCC installed on?

Which drive is Code::Blocks installed on?

I will try to update the Installation Direction for you, but will need feedback from you.

Ok. sure. you need more input:

I have Win 2k3, but you can say i have Win XP SP2.

My wxWidgets are in D:\wxWidgets-2.8.5
My CodeBlocks is in D:\CodeBlocks

And some Settings:

Settungs > Compiler Settings > Directories > Compiler
d:\CodeBlocks\include
d:\wxWidgets-2.8.5\include
D:\wxWidgets-2.8.5\lib\gcc_dll

Settungs > Compiler Settings > Directories > Linker
d:\CodeBlocks\lib
d:\wxWidgets-2.8.5\lib\gcc_dll

Settungs > Compiler Settings > Directories > Custom Variables
VX_VER = d:\wxWidgets-2.8.5\include

I try to compile a new fresh Project:
File > New Project > wxWidgets Application > Create > [save]
Project > Properties > Projects Build Options > Linker > [Edit from wxmsw26 to wxmsw28]
Build > Build

And i get:

What compiler are you using?
What directory is the compiler in?
Normally it is C:\MinGW but it should in your case it should be on the D Drive.

Are you using a Code::Blocks nightly build? Or is it RC2 build?

[jack32]

I use the "Code::Blocks IDE, with MINGW compiler" from here http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads.shtml

Version: 1.0rc2

So the MINGW compiler is in the Code::Blocks Directory

[stahta01]

Please download a Code::Blocks Nightly version into a fresh Code::Blocks folder.
Use a new folder or delete the contents of the old folder.

Nightly Build are on here

Or the project page here

Directions on Nightly Build here

To Install a newer MinGW GCC I suggest
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MinGW-5.1.3.exe
And pick "candidate" packages.

Time for Classes, so I am off to College.

ok now i have the nightly build....
with the 2 dlls
and i have installed mingw to D:\MinGW

and now i get
---------------------------

Are you sure you want to continue with these settings?

and

but i seems to me that all directorys are set correct.

[stahta01]

Did you compile wxWidgets?

If you don't wish to compile wxWidgets and have a fast internet connection I suggest wxPack, it contains compiled wxWidgets libraries.

http://wxpack.sourceforge.net/Main/Downloads

Tim S

[jack32]

yes, wxWidgets were compiled.

Now I have deleted them and recompiled them

using:
mingw32-make.exe -f makefile.gcc clean
mingw32-make.exe -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0

same error.....

now i will try wxPack

[TDragon]

Rather than trying to use (or update) those dated instructions, just follow the wxWindowsQuickRef.

[jack32]

now its working with wxPack

i don't know why it wont work with the self build ones
