Link trouble when migrating from Microsoft VC

(1/1)

nlevisrael:
Hi: I tried to create a new wxWidgets project using the wizard, but it's not linking properly.  So I created a new project in Visual C++ express 2010 which built and ran the project fine.  I therefore tried to replicate the VS project settings in codeblocks, but I'm still getting link errors.  It looks like I'm missing a library which VS includes automatically.  I read that Code::Blocks can open vcproj files but when I try to do so I get a dialog that Code::Blocks can't open the file type.  For the record, I pasted some of my link output.  Thanks for any help.

You cannot and should not mix libraries of different compilers. The wizard creates one for GCC (MinGW). So please use the GCC/MinGW version of wxWidgets in the right flavour.

Thank you, but when I ran the wizard I chose the VS compiler instead.  The only wxWidgets build I have right now used that compiler.

How did you setup the wizard? did you choose the right/same wxWidgets flavour you've used to compile the app with? From what I see, its Unicode / debug / non-monolithic. Its really hard to tell because I don't know what you did you get your wxWidgets version... The MS linker (not C::B) basically tells you the wx lib is incompatible to the settings you've used for your app. Where the incompatibility comes from you have to find out yourself I'm afraid.
