wx/msw/wx.rc no such file or directory [SOLVED]

(1/1)

mudgler:
Hey there, have tried to search for another post regarding this but the results come up with too many "file" posts.

I have installed codeblocks on a win7 machine.

I have installed wxwidgets in c:/program files/wxwidgets2.8

I am trying to get started with the "Hello World" tutorial  from http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=WxSmith_tutorial:_Hello_world

Global variable editor base value for wx is pointing to the wxwidgets director as above.

However, every time I try to compile i get error: wx/msw/wx.rc no such file or directory

I have searched the codeblocks and wxwidgets directories and can't find wx.rc anywhere.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance

One thing I can suggest is that you should put the wx library in a directory which do not have spaces.

mudgler:
Ahh, thanks for that suggestion, have had that issue with other things like WAMP.

Reinstalled to /wxwidgets, changed base value in Global Variable Editor.

No joy  :P

But then again, there is no wx directroy in the base wswidget install directory, maybe it digs deeper.  There are /lib/gcc_dll/wx/ and others under /lib/ but none of them have /wx/msw/wx.rc (or any rc files) anyway.

Frustrating.

mudgler:
OK, I found a solution, just had to be willing to dig deeper than page 1 of google :P

I think reinstalling helped.  Then I went into project >  build options > search directories and removed all entries pointing to original install
