Hi All:
Apologies if this sounds too basic as I am really at a lost of what to do. I would like to do some programming with wxWidgets using Codeblocks as the IDE. I have downloaded CodeBlocks with MINGW complier V1.0 rc2. I have also downloaded WxMSW for wxWidgets2.8.0
From what I gathered from the Forum, I have also downloaded the nightly builts released on 2 March 2007 Rev3659. I am able to start Codeblocks by unzipping the nightly builts.
I then proceed to complie the wxWidgets library as instructed by
"
http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/CodeBlocks_Setup_Guide"
After the compilation, a new directory was created under my wxwidgets directory like this
"<WXWIDGETS DIRECTORY>\lib\gcc_dll"
I did not amend any settings so far and I proceed to create a new wxWidgets project using the template available in Codeblocks. I am confuse at this point as the following few dialogs required checking/unchecking of some options which I am clueless about. One of the dialogs required the setting of wxWidgets library of which there are 3 options :
1. Use wxWidgets Dll
2. wxWidgets is built as a monolithic library
3. Enable Unicode
The next section required the setting for
1. Create empty project
2. Create and use precomplied header (PCH)
3. Configure advanced options
I am not sure which of the settings should be checked/unchecked.
At this point, when I clicked "next", a dialog will pop out to prompt me that
"A matching debug configuration cannot be found in the wxwidgets directory you specified ....."
I opt to ignore and just proceed. When I tried to build the project, the compilation was ok but the linking will have the following error
"Debug ===ld.exe:: cannot find -lwxmsw28d_core:: === Build finished: 1 errors, 0 warnings ==="
I am sorry if this is too confusing but basically I just would like to get started to code in wxwidgets using Codeblocks. As such, I really appreciate any help I can obtain here.
Thank you very much for your patience and guidance.
