It means exactly that. You can compile wxWidgets in many different ways - a.k.a. "configurations". You chose a configuration where your wxWidgets was not compiled for. What is the configuration? (E.g. monolitic, unicode, debug?)

Hi thanks for the reply

For the configurations option i selected for wxWidgets libary Setings :Use wxWidgets Dll, wxWidgets is built as a monolithic library and Enable unicode

For the Miscellaneous Settings: i selected Create and use precompiled header (PCH)

Did you compile wxWidgets usingthat config? Notice: The download of wxWidgets just provides you with the sources.
You should have a file called "libwxmsw28u.a" in your wxWidgets lib folder.
