Now you know that wizard shows that message for a reason. As long as you don't mix & match CRT, you should not see these errors.

To build wxwidgets with static CRT, you need to do the following. In Visual Studio click Project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Runtime Library & select Multi-threaded/Multi-threaded Debug option. Click OK to close dialog. Do this for all projects.

Alternatively in the command prompt add the following to compile it with static CRT.

--- Code: ---nmake /f makefile.vc RUNTIME_LIBS=static <Other Options>
--- End code ---

--- End quote ---
You can check it by issuing following command

--- Code: ---D:\Projects\Test1\Debug>dumpbin /all Test1.lib | find /i "/DEFAULTLIB"
  00000000: 20 20 20 2F 44 45 46 41 55 4C 54 4C 49 42 3A 22     /DEFAULTLIB:"
   /DEFAULTLIB:MSVCRTD
   /DEFAULTLIB:OLDNAMES

D:\Projects\Test1\Debug>
--- End code ---
As you can see this shows static library Test1.lib is dynamically linked against MSVCRTD.lib. In this case if you want to link any app against Test1.lib you have to use /MTd as compiler and linker option.

When Test1.lib is linked against static MSVC runtime, it will show libcmt[d].lib in output.

Biplab, thank you very much for your very informative and helpful information. Now I understand everything much better.

I think it's best not to start messing with compiler settings now everything is working, at least for the time being. You have been most helpful and I'm extremely greatful to you. At last I can start concentrating on what I originally set out to do, and that is learning how to use wxWidgets. I had almost given up on code::blocks.

You're most welcome. Enjoy Code::Blocks. :)

For future problems, try to post as much information as possible. That helps others debug the issue easily.
