problem of lwxmsw
« on: October 20, 2005, 05:30:01 pm »
hi, I copied the "hello world" of wxwidgets from the web to C::B to compile, the message says "cannot find -lwxmsw", I would like to know the reason of this and what can I do about it,
cause I think the wxwidgets in the C::B I am using is a bit old.

Use -lwxmsw242 or -lwxmsw260 (or whatever matches the version you have).

But that would make it a DLL version. Anyway, you need to compile wxwidgets into making a non-DLL lib, this one will be the libwxmsw.a you're looking for.

Static linkage to wxWidgets gives a ~1MB HelloWorld application...  (gulp)

That's why the new templates have statically or dynamially linked wxWidgets so you can choose :) And Visual Basic programs are around 1MB too.  So it's not that bad.

What are you saying? That Visual Basic isn't bad? :lol:

Lol, Urxae  :D

Hey, who wants to join me on a new project? We write a Java virtual machine in Visual Basic and reimplement Code::Blocks in that environment.

But why is this a problem, is it because the new version changed the name of the file or something else?

Not exactly, the new version just is more specific regarding what kind of wxwidgets library you want to link with. I think the old version only used the static wxwidgets library, but I don't remember well.

In any case, if you don't mind using the DLL, feel free to use the libwxmsw242 (number may vary depending on which wxwidgets version you're using)
