So it may be worth a consideration if you maybe just have to accept that Windows98 and Unicode don't do together (at least not easily).

May be a poll could be useful to get an idea (for inaccurate it would be) of how many users are using C::B and then decide what to do next.

@killerbot: An ANSI build will still have GDB issue. And I am not sure if you can solve this (anyway I hope to be wrong :)).

could wx project , build for ansi and unicode coexist without renaming dirs ?

- some objects files go into gcc_mswudll (unicode) and gcc_mswdll(ansi) : ok here,
and then in <wx>\lib\gcc_dll we have some files in the subdir mswu(unicode) and mws (ansi), also ok.
and some files in some lib files in <wx>\lib\gcc_dll :
libwxexpot.a
libwxjpeg.a
libwxpng.a
libwxtiff.a
libwxzlib.a
------------------
libwxmsw26u.a
libwxregexu.a
wxmsw26u_gcc_cb.dll
------------------
libwxmsw26.aµ
libwxregex.a
wxmsw26_gcc_cb.dll

So if :
libwxexpot.a
libwxjpeg.a
libwxpng.a
libwxtiff.a
libwxzlib.a
don't provide conflicts when linked from ansi CB or unicode CB, things should be fine. Who knows the answer to this one ??

Because then I am also more in favour for building ansi and unicode as seperate builds.

PS : all this to started out for fixing a bug for file associations ;-) ;-)

thomas:
You will have to move the output folder before building the second time, but the wx libraries can very well be under the same common root. I have it that way on my system, works without any kind of problems.

EDIT:
Of course it would be a snap to add WX_PREFIX to the output directory too, then you don't have *anything* to consider.
