C:B prebuilt with wxWidgets
« on: July 13, 2015, 09:04:03 pm »
Earlier today, while scanning through various download lists, I noticed a note to a higher-level list indicating that a version of C:B containing wxWidgets (prebuilt) was available.  However, the note did not mention which download was applicable.  Does anyone know which download package is applicable?

I've been struggling to make wxWidgets and wxSmith work with C:B but I've been unsuccessfull.   Perhaps someone with more in depth knowledge could fix up the C:B/wxWidgets documentation so that newer C:B users can understand the installation instructions (by having more specific pointer to areas and field that need to be changed).

Thanks in advance for any help.

I think the normal way you want to use wxWidgets is that you should build wxWidgets yourself. 
see: Using wxWidgets - CodeBlocks
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

Please also notice the possibilities as explained here:

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Compile_Code::Blocks_plugins_based_on_a_nightly

...which do not even require a self-compilation of wxWidgets... this also works for applications other that C::B, of course but depends on the compiler you are using.
