Compiler options in template but can't find in GUI
« on: September 09, 2005, 06:13:48 am »
It seems there are compiler options in the template that i don't see anywhere in the Build Options

I followed these instructions to get my wxWidgets-2.6.1 libs compiled with MS Free Tools.
http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/wiki.pl?MS_Free_Tools_And_WxWidgets

Then I did the following from the CodeBlocks wiki instructions (paraphrased slightly from the Post compilation steps for for vc++ toolkit 2003 compiler):
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Compiling_wxWidgets_2.6.1_to_develop_Code::Blocks_%28MSW%29

Code
C:
cd \wxwidgets-2.6.1\build\msw
nmake -f makefile.vc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0 VENDOR=cb clean
nmake -f makefile.vc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0 VENDOR=cb
cd \wxwidgets-2.6.1\lib; mkdir codeblocks_vc; cd ..\vc_dll; move * ..\codeblocks_vc; move msw ..\codeblocks_vc

I think move * ..\codeblocks_vc is supposed to be move * codeblocks_vc by the way, I am at a computer where I can't verify that at the moment, but anyway I think I figured that part out and it seemed to work. I don't have any interest in building codeblocks itself, by the way, so  I am not sure if the above was necessary

Then I try to open up a blank wxWidgets project and try to compile without editing it and get the following
Code
Project : wxWidgets application 
Compiler : Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 (called directly)
Directory : C:\keep\private\KODE\
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Switching to target: default
cl.exe /nologo -pipe -mthreads -fno-pcc-struct-return -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -D_X86_ -DWIN32 -D_WIN32 -DWINVER=0x0400 -D__WIN95__ -D__GNUWIN32__ -D__WIN32__ -DSTRICT -D__WXMSW__ -D__WINDOWS__ /I"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\include" /I"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include" /c main.cpp /Fo.objs\main.obj
main.cpp
cl : Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '-pipe'
cl : Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '-mthreads'
cl : Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '-fno-pcc-struct-return'
cl : Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '-fno-rtti'
cl : Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '-fno-exceptions'
Then I'm thinking fine, I'll just remove those options from my project and probably from the default wxWidgets template.

But I can't find those build options in my project build options, as if they are hidden somewhere or hard coded.
Snooping a little further I see a file wxwidgets.cbp in the c:\program files\codeblocks\share\codeblocks\templates:

Code
<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<!DOCTYPE Code::Blocks_project_file>
<Code::Blocks_project_file>
        <FileVersion major="1" minor="1"/>
        <Project>
                <Option title="wxWidgets application"/>
                <Option makefile="Makefile"/>
                <Build>
                        <Target title="default">
                                <Option type="0"/>
                        </Target>
                </Build>
                <Compiler>
                        <Add option="-pipe"/>
                        <Add option="-mthreads"/>
                        <Add option="-fno-pcc-struct-return"/>
                        <Add option="-fno-rtti"/>
                        <Add option="-fno-exceptions"/>
                        <Add option="-D_X86_"/>
                        <Add option="-DWIN32"/>
                        <Add option="-D_WIN32"/>
                        <Add option="-DWINVER=0x0400"/>
                        <Add option="-D__WIN95__"/>
                        <Add option="-D__GNUWIN32__"/>
                        <Add option="-D__WIN32__"/>
                        <Add option="-DSTRICT"/>
                        <Add option="-D__WXMSW__"/>
                        <Add option="-D__WINDOWS__"/>
                </Compiler>
                <Linker>
                        <Add library="wxmsw242"/>
                </Linker>
        </Project>
</Code::Blocks_project_file>

 
It looks like the wxwidgets-static.cbp is the one I want since I would like to use the static (and multilib) version of wxWidgets-2.6.1.

Where are those compiler options like -pipe hidden, or am I supposed to manually edit the wxwidgets.cbp to change thel wxwidgets project defaults as needed. That looks easy to do, just want to make sure that is the standard way.

I think this is fixed in CVS (and the upcoming RC2 soon).

Btw, you want to link against the wxWidgets dll (was compiled SHARED=1) not the static version.

Good to know :D

:shock: Does that mean I would have to distribute the wxWidgets.dll with my exe? I'm trying to avoid that.
oh, you mean because i compiled it that way, ok, i didn't realize that is what i was doing. I have static libs in another folder...
