Problem using wxWidgets on Code::block

[nabito]

I've strictly followed the tutorial at
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=WxWindowsQuickRef

After playing around a couple of hours, finally end up with some strange problem. It reports that std lib fn is not declared in buffer.h (wxWidgets include).

Note my environment is exact the same as tutorial suggested.

?? Any idea ??

Thanks,

I haven't used wxWidgets on win32 in a while, but it's probable that you don't have your include paths set up correctly. Perhaps the headers try to include the stdlib h files and can't find them. Ergo, the declarations aren't made and you end up with all these errors.

Try searching for the file that declares strdup and check in your project's compile options if the include directory is indeed set up.
