Title: Wiki, Heads Up
Post by: Slivery on November 14, 2009, 04:09:21 pm

Hi,

First, let me thank the team for this wonderful IDE. It's really easy to setup and use for a noob. :)

Having said that, I'd like to point out a simple but crucial instruction not mentioned in WxWindowsQuickRef (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=WxWindowsQuickRef). You have to remind the readers that they must reboot their computer prior to trying to compile and/or run any wxWidgets project in CodeBlocks after building wxMSW. Otherwise, they'll get nasty error messages such as this:

I spent over an hour to troubleshoot the problem, but it wasn't until I rebooted my machine it went away.


Thanks.

Really?
If I can remember, last month, I have a new notepad(with Win Vista), then, I just compile wxWidgets(wxMsw), and continually build CB without reboot my computer. :D

I can see having to close all cmd windows and Code::Blocks might solve a issue if you are using wxpack.
But, I have no idea why re-booting would be needed. Because wxPack defines environmental variables that wont be seen to exiting cmd and Code::Block.

Rebooting should never be required; if it was, I would avoid whatever compiler or library forced it on me like the plague! Look elsewhere for the cause of your difficulties.
