And I use the wxWidgets 2.6.2 on the Windows.
Please give me some help!Thanks a lot!

there is a bug in the project file CodeBlocks-NewBuild.cbp
if you are using a standard wx-wigdets installation
(standard == built without using the CFG=NonUnicode makefile build parameter)

first look, where youre libwxmsw26.a is on your harddisk,
if you have done a standard wx-widgets installation, it should be located in
<wx262>\lib\gcc_dll\libwxmsw26.a

if so, do the following:
go to Project->Build options->"Directories"->"Linker"
edit the line
$(#WX.lib)\gcc_dll\msw
to
$(#WX.lib)\gcc_dll
or delete it completely, in this case you have to you go to the Tab "Custom variables"
and edit the variable WX_CFG to what you used during your wx-widgets build, standard is a empty string.

the wxWidgets I compiled with VC++ 6.0. I can't find the directory $(WX.lib)\gcc_dll but find $(WX.lib)\mswd subdirectory.
and it is nothing but a file .\wx\setup.h in it.

you have to build wx-widgets with mingw gcc in order to build CodeBlocks - read the wiki and get familiar with the search button.

I'll make it easy for you:

1. Download MinGW-3.1.0-1 and install it to C:\MinGW (I'll use this path for reference later)
2. Download gcc-core-3.4.4-20050522-1.tar.gz and gcc-g++-3.4.4-20050522-1.tar.gz and extract them to C:\MinGW
3. Download binutils-2.16.91-20050827-1.tar.gz and extract it to C:\MinGW
4. Download infozip. Extract it and add the .exe files to C:\MinGW\bin
5. Add C:\MinGW\bin and C:\MinGW\mingw32\bin to your PATH. You might have to reboot for changes to take effect here.
6. Download wxMSW-2.6.2.zip and extract it to C:\Devel\

You should now have a folder C:\Devel\wxWidgets-2.6.2 with subfolders build and lib (and a lot of others).

7. Create a batch file called build.bat in C:\Devel\wxWidgets-2.6.2\build\msw

Code

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0 CFG=NonUnicode clean
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0 CFG=NonUnicode

8. Run that batch file and wait for the build to finish. It could take a while.
10. Download a recent copy of Code::Blocks from here so you can open the new build project files.

You can then open CodeBlocks-NewBuild.cbp and immediately build.

After building codeblocks, you will have a directory codeblocks\src\devel. Copy C:\Devel\wxWidgets-2.6.2\lib\gcc_dllNonUnicode\wxmsw26_gcc_custom.dll to that (the devel) directory.
Run codeblocks\src\update.bat

Your output files will be placed in codeblocks\src\output

instead of

...

Code

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0 clean
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0

...

PLEASE USE the following !!!

Code

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0 CFG=NonUnicode clean
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0 CFG=NonUnicode 

btw - are you using an encrypted username ?

Now I see what the real problem is. The Wiki has the wrong build instructions (that's where I made my bat file from). Your change should fix it, I wish I had known about that option earlier.

What do you mean by an encrypted username?

What do you mean by an encrypted username?

is there a special meaning behind 280Z28 ?
it is not easy to remember - at least not for me
