wxWidgets Preprocessing Problems
« on: September 23, 2009, 06:55:14 pm »
I just finished following the tutorials here (at least the steps pertaining to wxWidgets, already have Code::Blocks set up) and here in an attempt to get wxWidgets set up with Code::Blocks, but when I try to compile a wxWidgets project I get the error:

Code
=== wxWidgetsTest, Release ===
preprocessing failed.
=== Build finished: 1 errors, 0 warnings ===

That's it, no error code, no reason given for the failure, nothing... what am I doing wrong?  I followed the instructions in the tutorials to the letter...

Oh, I get the same error even if I un-check the "Create and use pre-compiled headers" option...

What version/svn of Code::Blocks?
What version of wxPack??
What Compiler and the version number of it?
If Compiler is MinGW GCC 4.x or higher; is it DW2 or SJLJ?

Code::Blocks v8.2 (with MINGW, windows binary installer)
wxPack v2.8.9.02
I'm pretty sure I'm using the MinGw GCC compiler, although I'm not 100% sure about the version... it's the version that comes with the Code::Blocks v8.2 w/ Mingw binary...

According to the readme file in MinGw\doc: "This version of binutils was compiled from the vanila 2.18.50-20080109
snapshot."  Not sure if that's the compiler version or not...

Sorry for not posting this in the first place... I know better too...

For future notice, what is the best way to find the version of the currently installed compiler/debugger/etc.?

Thanks for your time!

Turn on full compiler logging and post the results here. Note, I need the results on the Command log not the error message log.

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_troubleshoot_an_compiler_problem.3F

The following is how to get mingw gcc version info.
Code
gcc -v

Edit: What OS are you using?
If vista, you need to upgrade to the newer MinGW gcc 3.4.5 or TDM gcc 4.4.0!

Okay, I have GCC v3.4.5 and am running Windows XP Pro SP3, 32bit.

Here's the command log from the compile...
Code

gcc: Files\CodeBlocks\PDCurses-SO\win32: No such file or directory
windres.exe: preprocessing failed.

1 errors, 0 warnings

It would seem there is a problem related to PDCurses, but it is not referenced in any of the source files, and I don't have any trouble compiling projects using PDCurses, or my project using Allegro...

Thanks again for all your help!

Change the version of windres (to one that supports spaces) or use a path with no spaces or special characters in it.

Moved all the projects into a new folder "C:\Cpp".  Unfortunately, it seems it's trill trying to look in "Program Files" for the curses library, which it wouldn't be able to find there even if it could use spaces, as I haven't had Code::Blocks or any other programming related files in "Program Files" since I discovered how much it dislikes spaces in file names...

That being said, when I first started I let CodeBlocks install to the default program files folder, so I'm guessing there has to be a record somewhere that's telling it to look there, but I don't know where... I checked my environment variables, to see if there was one there holding a path with a space in it, but nothing, save the temp folder ones... should I change those?

Thanks again for all your time and help!

[EDIT]: Just realized it's looking for the DevPaks folder in Program Files too... I'll see if I can figure out why during my down-time at school today...

but I don't know where...
As these are include directories for the resourcee compiler, they are either:
- in the compiler options
- in the project options
- in the targets options.
