Issue buildin default wxsmith project

[Pierrick584]

Greetings, i'm just starting using wxsmith (and gotta say i'm not a C++ and Code::Block expert either) and i were trying this tutorial http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=WxSmith_tutorial:_Hello_world

Problem is, i'm trying to build a freshly made project, nothing done yet, and it does not work, giving me compiller error of undeclared functions, i know we normaly shouldnt post such error here but, realy, i believe a default project shouldnt have such issue without beign modified at all.

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, got Code::Block and every wxsmith package that are on the Ubuntu Software Center, with pretty much default configuration.

By the way i tried debug and release, pretty much same things

[stahta01]

Did you install the wxGTK devel package?
If not do so.
If yes, check that wx-config works correctly.

I suggest turning on full compiler logging.
IIRC, FAQ 2.12.

[Pierrick584]

just installed libwxgtk2.6-dbg (and 2.8 too)  kinda weird, but in the package description, the 2.6 says its the development package, and still, pretty much same errors
And i dont know enough to actualy do more but, typing wx-config in terminal definitively get its output
Btw, here's the errors after i modified the compiler options

[MortenMacFly]

just installed libwxgtk2.6-dbg (and 2.8 too)  kinda weird,

You don't need the debug, but the "devel" package. And make sure you are not mixing wx versions as this will lead to conflicts. You need at least wx v2.8.10. 2.6 is really old and no longer supported (by us).
