Need help getting wxwidget into C::B
« on: January 15, 2009, 02:48:16 am »
Hi everyone. I'm the classic noob to the GUI design area, but the design for my g/f's thesis has made it a must for me A.S.A.P. So... before I can go rampage over the tutorials, I need to put what appears to be a promising library into my trusted C::B

My development will be done over:
Windows XP
Code::Blocks 8.02
wxWidgets 2.8.9

I tried to follow every installation tutorial I could find, but it seems i'm a little tooo noob into this.

I just want to know how to do the entire thing.

I tried this >> http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=WxWindowsQuickRef
but I got the following error

Code

Did you build wxWidgets? Because your error is the normal one for people who never compiled and linked wxWidgets.

Build?? I thought I didn't have too... or at least that was what the tutorial said...

So... how do I go about doing that?

Thank you very much for your help  :D

Build wxWidgets

This step is unnecessary if you are using wxPack

quote from wxWidgets Quickref (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=WxWindowsQuickRef#Build_wxWidgets)

That means if you not use wxpack, you have to configure and build wxWidgets libraries from source.

I actually used wxPack... but It is very likely that I downloaded both in my attempts to make it work... i will follow the tutorial steps to compile the library and let you know.

Ok... so.. I've been using the 4 files that CB created for me as a wxWidget project and all seems to be working fine... the thing is... I'm trying some tutorials and for some reason CB does not find the librarys for single files (as oposite from wx projects).

this tutorial example:

Code
#include <wx/file.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{

  wxString str = wxT("You make me want to be a better man.\n");

  wxFile file;
  file.Create(wxT("quote"), true);

  if (file.IsOpened())
      wxPuts(wxT("the file is opened"));

  file.Write(str);
  file.Close();

  if (!file.IsOpened())
      wxPuts(wxT("the file is not opened"));
}

Produces this error msg:
Code
D:\Documents and Settings\Manny\Escritorio\createfile.cpp|1|wx/file.h: No such file or directory|
D:\Documents and Settings\Manny\Escritorio\createfile.cpp||In function `int main(int, char**)':|

D:\Documents and Settings\Manny\Escritorio\createfile.cpp|18|error: `wxPuts' was not declared in this scope|
||=== Build finished: 10 errors, 0 warnings ===|

Can I get some help on this one plz?  :(

Look at the wizard created projects build options.

It gives you a hint how to specify the correct include dirs and link to the appropriate libs.

Of course the exact paths and libs to be included depend on the wxWidgets flavour(s) you have installed (Debug, Release monolithic, shared, static ...).

But what you need exactly goes beyond the scope of the C::B forum and should be asked in an appropriate forum (like the wxWidgets one).

C::B wxWidgets projects add all of the necessary boilerplate (include directories/libs/flags etc.), which obviously won't be applied to single files that are outside of the project. As Jens says, look at the build options for a C::B created wxwidgets project ... THEN... copy them across to Settings -> Compiler and Debugger, which will then apply them globally. Keep in mind that will mean those directories, libs and flags will be applied to any project and any single file compiled (but you could create a copy of the default compiler for this purpose)

I am doing sorta that right now, but I still have issues

(I'm applying the properties to the new empty project)

Compiler Settings:
> Other Options:
>> -pipe
>> -mthreads
>> [[if (PLATFORM == PLATFORM_MSW && (GetCompilerFactory().GetCompilerVersionString(_T("gcc")) >= _T("4.0.0"))) print(_T("-Wno-attributes"));]]
> #defines:
>> __GNUWIN32__
>> __WXMSW__
>> WXUSINGDLL
>> wxUSE_UNICODE
Search Directories:
> Compiler:
>> D:\CodeBlocks\wxWidgets\include
>> D:\CodeBlocks\wxWidgets\contrib\include
> Resource Compiler
>> D:\CodeBlocks\wxWidgets\include

But I get this:

Code
||=== Test, Debug ===|
obj\Debug\createfile.o:createfile.cpp:(.text+0xa6)||undefined reference to `__imp___ZN6wxFile6CreateEPKwbi'|
obj\Debug\createfile.o:createfile.cpp:(.text+0xcf)||undefined reference to `__imp__wxConvUTF8'|

||=== Build finished: 8 errors, 0 warnings ===|

Jens @ I know I could probably get some help from their forum... but I thought that maybe someone in here with experience in C::B could be more useful than someone with knowledge of the librarys. Thanx for the help anyways :)

That's most likely not correct.

Please look also in the target settings, not only in the settings global for the project (Debug and Release use different libs).

I see... I was only looking at the project stuff... i'll do the debug and release and hope it will do the trick

you can't have both debug and release - choose one or the other (I personally don't use wx debug libs)
