I'm following the wiki, but I think I need some help. I've been trying to do this on and off for a couple weeks by myself and it just isn't happening.

You surely neither follow the wike, nor read the notes on the wxWidgets page carefully.

Read this:

Hi,

I too am facing a problem with the compilation of wxWidgets in C::B.

I'm using wxPack with the latest release of C::B for Windows (C::B 10.05) [which was installed with the MinGW option via the installer] and have read all the steps in the Wiki page which was linked to in Jen's post. I have also looked in the build.cfg file to identify the parameters for using wxWidgets in C::B, and used the correct parameters in this regard. I have also set the Environmental PATH variable and the toolchain executable path to the bin folder in MinGW in C::B. However, when I tried to create a blank wxWidget project in C::B and compile the code (to identify if wxWidget is able to generate a simple yet functional GUI), the error message in my C::B Build log is as follows:

-------------- Build: Debug in Project 1-1 ---------------

The respective files (e.g. buffer.h, string.h & list.h) also open to indicate the source of the error when I place my cursor on the specified line.

As far as I am aware, I am using MinGW as the compiler of choice here, and everything has been installed correctly. When I run mingw32-make.exe, I get the following output:

C:\CodeBlocks\wxWidgets2.8\build\msw>mingw32-make.exe
mingw32-make.exe: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

This clearly indicates that MinGW has been properly installed in my system.

As such, please inform me as to what could have gone wrong here.

Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

Search the forum and the wiki and do what the error message suggests !

Please stop hijacking threads with a totally different problem !

You might get banned from the forum !!

Thank you !!!

@BraveRobot:

If the wiki article is too complicated (covers too much possible options), you can try this one: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Nightly_Cookbook#wxWidgets
Be arae, that the wxWidgets-exe for windows is just an installer for the sources, as they clearly state on their wwebsite as far as I rememeber !

@ jens:

Your manner in responding to posts in this Forum is provocative, offensive and threatening, which would be totally unbecoming of the conduct expected within a professional community of experienced programmers/developers assisting novices in this respect.

Have you not read the topic of this thread (Struggling with wxWidgets installation) which clearly relates to individuals who are facing difficulties in the installation of wxWidgets? The matter which I have surfaced in my previous post has evidently something related to wxWidgets installation, hence I have included it in this thread, which would not be considered hijacking in any sense. As you are both an experienced developer and an administrator, I would expect you to exercise due caution prior to hurling accusatory remarks and slanders online, which would only damage the reputability of a Forum such as this.

Thank you.
