hello and question about setting project global variable base directory for wx

<< < (2/3) > >>

ghostcoder:
yes I believe I compiled the release library.

What should I do then? Do I need to recompile wxWidgets or can I simply remove this problem another way?

-------

-------------- Build: Debug in test ---------------

Linking executable: bin\Debug\test.exe
c:/codeblocks/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lwxmsw28ud

If you do not want to debug wxwidgets itself (I think you don't want taht), you can change your projects build options as follows:

target Debug:
change "Linker settings -> Link libraries:" from "libwxmsw28ud.a" to "libwxmsw28u.a" (just remove the "d" )
change "Search directories -> Compiler" and "Resource compiler" remove the "d" from "mswud"
remove __WXDEBUG__ from "Compiler settings -> #defines"

A side-effect: It should work without the need to copy "setup.h" now.

You are still able to debug your own code.

ghostcoder:
Ok I did what you said and at first it gave me more errors, but then I hit 'rebuild' and it worked!

I was then able to build and run it and it launched the little app. Only thing now is that it is putting the exe file in a bin\Debug folder. I guess it still thinks the project is in debug mode. I'm totally new to Code Blocks and compiling, but I think it's pretty awesome so far. Thanks very much for your help, you've been patient. Much appreciated.

Jenna:
You use the debug-target (to be able debug your app), but you can change it by chosing the release-target from the dropdown-list in the build-toolbar.

ghostcoder:
Ok cool I see that and I was able to compile for release. Awesome.

It works when I build and run from the Code Blocks, however, when I double click the .exe I've generated, I now get the error This app has failed to start because wsmsw28u_gcc_custom.dll was not found.
