Anyone interrested in CB Projects that compiles wxWidgets samples with wx-config

[stahta01]

I have spent several hours working on making simple CB Projects that compile wxWidgets samples using wx-config-win for under windows.
It uses MinGW GCC as the normal project compiler.

If yes, does anyone know of a good file share site for me to upload the CB Projects and related support files.

Once, I get it to work good enough I plan to upload to version control site.

For people who wonder about wx-config-win https://code.google.com/p/wx-config-win/
I am using a higher patched version of wx-config-win from the CodeLite project.

github.com or similar.

There is no point in postponing this step:)

Yes, many interests, I even asked such question several years ago when I as a beginner of wxWidgets.
See: question on wxwidget sample projects, and where to find more

I tried an hg site first; but, could NOT figure out how to upload; so, tried github.

Still need to do a real readme/directions.

Edit: Does anyone know if I need to set permissions for someone other than me to do the download of the Zip Archive?

No special permissions needed, as you can see here: https://github.com/jenslody

What is the steps to use this tool to build wx sample?
I can download the zip file from github, and extract to E:\code\wx\wxWidgets-3.0.0
Then, I can build the wx-config.exe, but where should I put the wx-config.exe? It is currently under:
E:\code\wx\wxWidgets-3.0.0\wx-config-win

When I open the samples.workspace (under E:\code\wx\wxWidgets-3.0.0\samples) , build any project certainly get failed.
What's the next step?

Thanks.

Put it in you system path or add it to your Compiler path.
Note: You need to re-start CB for either option.

Hi, Tim, it still doesn't work.

I put the exe under: E:\code\common_bin

When I try to build minimal sample, I get those:

Code

[100.0%] Running target pre-build steps

It looks like it try to search the parent folder of where I put the exe? (E:\code\common_bin)


EDIT:
If I put this wx-config.exe file under the folder: E:\code\wx\wxWidgets-3.0.0\lib, I get different build error

Do I need to specify some custom variables?

EDIT2:
See

Code

[100.0%] Running target pre-build steps
cmd /c echo \lib\
\lib\

It looks like I set wrong path?

EDIT3:

Code

cmd /c echo $(WXWIN)\lib\$(WXCFG)

I just do not know where I can define those variables? Global variable does not work. They should have some expression like $(#WXWIN).

I set WXCFG in CB Environmental Variable; but, I always need to remember to click an "set now" and restart CB for the effects to happen.
I set WXWIN in the OS Environmental Variable normally. It the same as the wxWidgets base directory.

Did the readme not exist in the wx-config-win folder?
Looks like it should https://github.com/stahta01/cb_projects_for_wxWidgets/blob/master/wx-config-win/README.txt

Common value for WXCFG is gcc_lib/mswu or gcc_dll/mswu

This $(WXWIN)\lib\$(WXCFG) should be the folder that holds wx/setup.h

OK, Thanks for the help, I can correctly set these two environment variables by using the Environment variable plugin, see the image shot below:




But still has some build errors below.

Hi, Tim, I found that I have to restart C::B after I put the wx-config.exe in PATH.

When restart C::B, it works fine now, here is the build log. Sorry for the noise.

Nice!
