To make wxWidgets-2.8.0 for work with Code::Blocks

[zingiel]

Hallo,

I have installed latest Code::Blocks (nigthly), MingW 5.1.3, wxwidgets_wizard_6.7, gdb-6.3-2 and wxWidgets-2.8.0.
Now, I can compile 'Win32 GUI project' (release i debug), so, compiler is o'k.
But when I try to create wxWidgets project then CB gets me messages:

'A matching Debug configuration cannot be found in the wxWidgets directory you specified.
This means that Debug target of your project will not build.

Are you sure you want to continue with these settings?'

and next

'A matching Release configuration cannot be found in the wxWidgets directory you specified.
This means that Release target of your project will not build.

Are you sure you want to continue with these settings?'

And next, when I try build my wx project then in 'Build log' I get:

'-------------- Build: Debug in testwxWidgets ---------------

What am I to set in CB for building wxWidgets projects?

You have to compile wxWidgets library first.
You most likely only downloaded the source code.
See docs\msw\install.txt for directions on how to compile wxWidgets.

Here's the basic commands I use to compile wxWidgets; you can use it as a starting point.

Code

CD wxWidgets-2.8.0\build\msw
SET PATH=C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\mingw32\bin
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1 CLEAN
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1

Thanks,
I was compiling this wxWidgets library and now I can to compile wx projects
but...
yet is little problem: my created 'exe' haves not wx 'lib' inside
this exe is small (ca 60kB) and I must to get wxWidgets dll

Hav can I to include this library to my exe?

If you don't want to have to copy the wxWidgets DLL to your project, one solution is a static build of wxWidgets. To do a static build make sure SHARED=0. Note, you then have to change things in your project to use the static build. I don't use static builds in Code::Blocks but others do so it is possible.

Trying to build a wxsmith hello world test.  (My first wxsmith attempt.)

Appears default created wxsmith project wants the ANSI version of wxwidgets, rather than UNICODE...?

1)Is this so?
2)If it will use unicode wxwidgets, then what did I overlook creating the project?

(Got compilation errors similar to first post [although not the mismatched configuration messages he mentioned], and looking around, I found my compilation command shows references such as "-IC:\dlh\dev\wxwidgets\wxMSW-2.8.0\lib\gcc_dll\msw" rather than "-IC:\dlh\dev\wxwidgets\wxMSW-2.8.0\lib\gcc_dll\mswu"

- I'm currently trying to build wxwidgets UNICODE=0, but posting to request whatever additional info I may need to use UNICODE.)

[edit] using codeblocks built from svn fetch in last 24hours, against wxwidgets2.8.0unicode built some days ago - codeblocks itself built with the 10jan nightly

[edit2] A)DUH - I was still using the 10-jan nightly trying to create/build wxsmith project, not the codeblocks I had just built from svn.  B)recompiling ANSi wxwidgets did allow the wxsmith project to build...

So, still have the question, Can I, what can I do to, build wxwidgets/wxsmith project/appl with unicode vers. of wxwidgets?
