Newbie startup question

[jas]

Please help...

I am trying to use the nightly build to complile the wxWidgets starter project.  wxSmith was specified during setup.   Everything compiles but the link fails.  I am using wxWidgets 2.8.10.  I have verified wxWidgets build is good by using MinGW tools and the command line environment to build the minimal example.  I am on a Vista platform with XP compatibily set on the codeblocks launch.  Can someone tell me where I am going wrong?

The following is a dump of the build errors:

Possibly you chose a monolithic build of wxWidgets in the wizard but created a multilib build? See the wxWindowsQuickRef for some hopefully helpful info.

I tried the wxPack option since I seem to be unable to get any build I make to work with the Codeblocks nightly build, although I don't have any problems with the release version.  Seems the nightly build has some issues.  When I used the wxPack libraries, CB would build the Hello program produced by the wizard, if CB could find the libraries.  It required a full path name.  It did not appear to read the wx environment variable properly.  This raises another question;  is the environment variable wx case sensitive?

FYI: The wxPack works better as MultiLib than Monolithic Lib; but, wxPack can work as a single Monolithic build library.

It is NOT an "environment variable" wx, but an "global variables" see http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Recommended_global_variables
