Help setting up wxWidgets

Xorlium:
Hello everyone.

I'm trying to learn how to use wxWidgets using www.3dbuzz.com C++ Video training. They show you how to install wxwidgets, and what you need to do before using it. The thing is, they use Visual Studio, not Code::Blocks, and I can't exactly follow along the setup.

At some point in time, they go to "Project Properties->C/C++->Preprocesor" and then add:
wxUSE_GUI=1; _WXDEBUG_; WXDEBUG=1

And I can't find "preprocesor" anywhere on codeblocks :)

I tried going along, but... let me show you my code.


--- Code: ---
#include "wx/wx.h"

class HelloWorldApp : wxApp
{
public:
    virtual bool OnInit();
};

IMPLEMENT_APP(HelloWorldApp)

bool HelloWorldApp::OnInit()
{
    wxFrame *frame = new wxFrame((wxFrame *) NULL, -1, _T("Hello World!"), wxPoint(60,70), wxSize(500,600));
   
    frame->Show(TRUE);

    SetTopWindow(frame);
   
    return true;
}
--- End code ---


if I try to compile it, it gives me this error:
'wxAppConsole is an inaccessible base of HelloWorldApp', and it says it's on the
IMPLEMENT_APP(HelloWorldApp) line, so I imagine it has something to do with the preprocesor. I don't know, though.

Can someone help me?

Thanks!!

It's "Project->Build options->Compiler options->Compiler definitions" :)
Oh, and enter them one-per line like this:

--- Code: ---wxUSE_GUI=1
_WXDEBUG_
WXDEBUG=1
--- End code ---

Thanks!

But still, I got the error... :D any ideas?

At some point, they use "wxmswd.lib", and I didn't find that in my computer. I added "wxmsw242.dll" that was in the codeblocks dir :D

Any ideas?
I have wxwidgets 2.6, and MinGW.

Xorlium:
dumb me, i'm missing a ;

Anyway, it still doesn't work. It now tells me "variable 'vtable for wxFrame' can't be auto-imported. Please read the documentation for ld's --enable-auto-import for details."
But that just means I have to read a little...

Put libwxmsw24.a (or libwxmsw242.a?) in linker options, not wxmsw242.dll
