These commands are better for building the ANSI and Unicode versions of wxWidgets (respectively) as it separates the output directories from each other.


--- Code: ---mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0 CFG=NonUnicode VENDOR=cb clean
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0 CFG=NonUnicode VENDOR=cb
--- End code ---


--- Code: ---mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1 CFG=Unicode VENDOR=cb clean
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1 CFG=Unicode VENDOR=cb
--- End code ---

This comes from a discussion I had with someone in another thread but I forget which one it was now. :(

takeshimiya:
I compile it just that way. It remains to be seen if the CFG is usefull in that case.
For only doing between Unicode/NonUnicode it isn't worth. Unleast the libraries start to make problems between versions.

thomas:
These commands are not better. This is a valid way of building wxWidgets, but it is not better.

It is absolutely no problem to have both shared libraries (unicode and non-unicode) in the same directory (they have different names), and you do not need to modify the project file  before you compile Code::Blocks.

Using CONF makes sense if you compile different versions of wxWidgets which have different feature sets (other than Unicode).
For example when compiling one "complete" version and one version that does not include image loading and odbc, the output libraries will have the same name, so they have to be separated, obviously.

In all other cases it is easier (and less confusing for inexperienced users) to keep things like they are.

takeshimiya:
Agreed.

tiwag:
i would propose to change all CB project files in SVN (also in /plugins/contrib/* ) to use the standard wxwidgets pathes.
that means: set the WX_CFG by default to "" (empty string)
if someone is in need to use another directory he can edit it by himself - and knows presumably about.

The inconsistent usage of WX_CFG in these project files (sometimes set to "NonUnicode", sometimes set to "" ) is
really annoying and last not least a reason, why some ( less experienced ) users couldn't build a SVN version by themself.
