you're right. this is another bug in the *.cbp project files and was discussed a few times already.
the <Linker> section contains the bogus "gcc_dll/msw" instead of the correct standard-library-path "gcc_dll"
(presumably a copy'n paste bug  8) )


--- Code: --- <Linker>
<Add library="wxmsw26"/>
<Add directory="sdk\tinyxml"/>
<Add directory="$(WX_DIR)\lib\gcc_dll\msw"/>            <------------------ !!!!!!!!!!!
<Add directory="$(WX_DIR)\lib\gcc_dll$(WX_CFG)"/>
</Linker>
--- End code ---

therfore i expand my proposal to completely remove the standard-pathes for wxwidgets in both,
<Compiler> as well as in <Linker> sections and set the WX_CFG custom variable by default to "" (empty string).

These are the current settings:
--- Code: ---CodeBlocks-NewBuild.cbp
------------------------
compiler:
$(#WX.include)
$(#WX.lib)\gcc_dll\msw
$(#WX.lib)\gcc_dll$(WX_CFG)\msw
$(#WX)\contrib\include
sdk\wxscintilla\include
sdk\as\include

linker:
wxmsw26

sdk\tinyxml
$(#WX.lib)\gcc_dll
$(#WX.lib)\gcc_dll$(WX_CFG)



CodeBlocks-NewBuild-UNI.cbp
----------------------------
compiler:
$(#WX.include)
$(#WX.lib)\gcc_dll\msw$(WX_SUFFIX)
$(#WX.lib)\gcc_dll$(WX_CFG)\msw$(WX_SUFFIX)
$(#WX)\contrib\include
sdk\wxscintilla\include
sdk\as\include

linker:
wxmsw26$(WX_SUFFIX)

sdk\tinyxml
$(#WX.lib)\gcc_dll
$(#WX.lib)\gcc_dll$(WX_CFG)
--- End code ---

The unified project does not require you to change any paths, no matter whether you want to build ANSI or Unicode versions. That is, supposed per project variables work... which is the case now.
As you can see, WX_CONF has been kept for backwards-compatibility.  But like tiwag said, it is really obsolete and causes more confusion than it is worth.

EDIT:
Hmmm... I just spotted that there is one stale linker path in every config. But luckily that doesn't matter in this case - the lib therein has a different name.

280Z28:
Let's make the only .cbp file have these directories and be done with it. Make the default WX_SUFFIX="" and WX_CFG is no more. :) Does that work? It'll make it where we have one simple set of build instructions that work for everyone, unicode and ANSI.  8)


--- Code: ---Compiler
--------
$(#WX.include)
$(#WX.lib)\gcc_dll\msw$(WX_SUFFIX)
$(#WX)\contrib\include
sdk\wxscintilla\include
sdk\as\include

Linker
------
sdk\tinyxml
$(#WX.lib)\gcc_dll

Resource compiler
-----------------
$(#WX.include)

Link libs (all non-windows libs), don't put lib and .a, and for wxWidgets, in all places specify it like this:
--------------------------------
wxmsw26$(WX_SUFFIX)
codeblocks
wxscintilla

Link libs (all native windows libs), keep the lib*.a format
--- End code ---

thomas:
That will probably work. It is basically how the unified project looks now (except for the extra path).

But changing the project file right now does not make a lot of sense, considering the upcoming changes.
