cannot find -lwxmsw28u

Hi,

I have CB 10.05 installed on my computer (Windows 7) but when I try to build and run a wxwidgets project I get an error "Cannot find -lwxmsw24". I've found somewhere that I need to configure something in my build options but I'm not quite sure what exactly (I would really appreciate detailed answer)...

I followed all the steps on this page http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/CodeBlocks_Setup_Guide.

location of wxWidgets folder on my computer is C:\wxX11-2.8.11

Thanks!

Also search the wiki for pages that explain the setup process for wx on windows

Hi,

I've read http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=WxWindowsQuickRef and http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/CodeBlocks_Setup_Guide, it's not not helping, mate...I'm following all of these instructions but the problem is still there...

this is build log of my project:

I've been trying to fix this for a few days now, it's getting frustrating :((

stahta01:
Please use the version of wxWidgets for windows; your folder says wxX11-2.8.11 this implies you have the Linux/Unix X Windows version of wxWidgets.

I use either wxALL or wxMSW for windows builds.

Do you have a debug-build of C::B ?
You try to link against it.
