I downloaded code blocks a week ago. I liked the wxwidgets setup from the outside . problem----I cant see it from the inside. I cant seem to get it installed properly.
downloaded - codeblocks-13.12mingw-setup.exe, wxPack_v3.0.01.00.exe
installed in same order
code blocks seems to work fine. the wxwidget will not run.. I presumed that i installed a complete binary version of both. but I cant seem to get things to work.
before we continue I will say that I am not a newbie to programming. completely self taught but by no means incapable of following instructions. I have an ongoing project built in c and c++ that comprises several thousands of code lines. It being a database engine. With my own implementation of SQL. I set it aside for a few years and thought I would pick it up again.. when I left I was doing xp and borland builder 5.. hence my apeal to the xwidgets. I have since migrated to win7 and my borland wont run on this platform. I have also downloaded the trial of embarcadero and got some mixed results.. It seems that unicode has reared its ugly head and rendered much of my old code busted.
I have been trying different platforms to code on and I really like the direction Code Blocks seems to be going in. I seem to be getting the same errors that a lot of others are getting. after setting the setup for wxwiget location to "C:\SourceCode\Libraries\wxWidgets3.0" I at least got it to start a project. The project wont install, it cant find things
"
no matching configuration found"

after reviewing some of the forum I am at a loss as to what to do.
I kind of get the idea that code blocks has been written primarily from a linux environment. as linux has been know to have some complicated installs. dont get me wrong though. I got the feeling if i ever do get this dog to run it will be very pleasant to work with. but there is a reason I run windows and not linux. I do have a full time job and do not have a lot of time at this moment to search for a solution.
I really do like to write code. maybe Ill just hand code my guis for a while with code blocks... lets see--- wheres my win32api reference manual.
