Include Directory

[RLovelett]

I'm new to the whole code blocks app on linux (Ubuntu) (ran it once on Win XP two years ago for a C course I took).  Anyways, now I'm running it on my linux machine and I'm trying to get it to compile wxWidgets.  The problem is that I cannot seem to get the application to understand where my wxWidgets library is (/usr/include/wx-2., it keeps telling me

error: wx/app.h : No such file or directory.

I've tried adding the directory to the Linker settings of Link libraries.  I hit add and then typed that path above.  Still same errors.  Do I have to declare it as a Environment Variable?  If so how.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

error: wx/app.h : No such file or directory.

This is a compiler error, nothing to do with the linker

I had exactly the same problem and added these to the SEARCH DIRECTORIES :
Some progree
/usr/include/wx-2.8
/usr/lib/wx/include/base-ansi-debug-2.8

Some progress but now my problem has changed to:

In constructor 'wxBusyCursorSuspender::wxBusyCursorSuspender()':
'wxIsBusy' was not declared in this scope

error: wx/app.h : No such file or directory.

You could try adding this: `wx-config --cflags` on compiler settings->Other options and this:
`wx-config --libs` on Linker Settings->Other linker options

if it doesn't work try running that command on the terminal to see if you got any output -> wx-config --cflags, if you don't get any output then you don't have wxwidgets correctly installed, use the wxwidgets repositories, is more easy that compiling it and installing your self.

If I do wx-config in a terminal, I get an error - not found.

If I do wx-config --libs, I get a list of packages which support this command, but they are installed (I think!)

What package installs wx-config?

this is the official up to date repository of wxwidgets

What package installs wx-config?

It is provided by the libwxgtk2.8-dev package on Ubuntu.

Actually, the package is called wx-common.

This is strange. I remove all 'wx' thing from my distribution and CB too. Now i install wx2.8.7 and CB nightly 4699 following these pages:
http://wiki.wxpython.org/InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian
http://jens.lody.name/debian/
When i enter wx-config --cflags the output is:
-I/usr/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8 -I/usr/include/wx-2.8 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE=1 -D__WXGTK__ -pthread
I also have the gcc error messages like this:
/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/cursor.h   In constructor 'wxbusyCursorSuspend::wxBusyCursorSuspend()':
/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/cursor.h   65   error: 'wxIsBusy' was not declared
etc.
My project has to be the right compiler/linker settings bec. it worked yesterday with another wx/CB combo.
What's changed?

Ohh and wx-config --libs gives these:
-pthread   -lwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_html-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_core-2.8 -lwx_baseu_xml-2.8 -lwx_baseu_net-2.8 -lwx_baseu-2.8

I think the problem is somewhere in the linking process.

Ok problem solved.
When i uninstalled CB, i use - instead of _ in dselect so the CB configure files remained as i suppose.
I found this http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,190.15.html where Yiannis told use the --clear-configuration parameter to start CB and clear the old conf. files. Well --clear-configuration didnt exist anymore but a --help told me to use --clean.
CB started with blank page, crashed, i closed, restarted and voila clean,rebuild,run and my program works again. Unfortunatelly this took me 4 hours

I've run both of these commands in the command line,  all is well.  The problem is that I now have a new compile error.

Compiling: HelloWorldApp.cpp
g++: wx-config: No such file or directory
cclplus: error: unrecognized command line option "-fcflags"

I don't have anything I've added to either the compiler settings or linker settings that says "-fcflags", where is that coming from?

You need to add the backticks around the wx-config command: `wx-config --libs`, `wx-config --cflags` (note the ``).

That did it thanks so much.  I'll see if I cannot figure out what is causing my g++: no input files error.
