wxSmith installation newbie

Hello

It is more than three days that i am trying to install wxSmith but with no result.
I will make a description of the whole process
I have installed C::B compiled succesfuly and then opened the wxSmith project
and compiled it succesfully as well. Then what am i supposed to copy into
the C::B plugins folder? In the end of the whole proccess i have one folder with
all the images (src\output\share\codeblocks etc.) one zip with two xrc files
(src\ouput\share\codeblocks etc.) and a dll (src\devel\share\codeblocks etc.)
If i try to copy these files inside the plugins folder of c::B when i start codeblocks
i receive the following error "This application has failed because wxmsw26_gcc_custom.dll
was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" But despite the message
when i close it codeblocks starts normally. So i supppose that the msg is due to wxSmith.
Please help i am getting mad!!!Thank you in advance for your help

TDragon:
A few thoughts:

* Make sure the wxWidgets options are the same for both builds -- in particular, make sure both are linking against the same library: the Unicode wxmsw26u.a (the default) or the ANSI wxmsw26.a (which it seems your wxSmith build currently is).
* Compile both the main Code::Blocks project and the wxSmith project before running update.bat. This will make sure everything gets placed in the output directory that needs to be, and you don't have to worry about copying plugin dlls around.
* The wxSmith plugin is a WIP, so a certain amount of familiarity with Code::Blocks' inner workings is an implied requirement for getting everything to work properly. If you just can't figure it out, it might be best for you to wait until it's an official, working plugin.

Or just download a Nightly build with everything already compiled: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?board=20.0

Hello,

If you get a message that "This application has failed because wxmsw26_gcc_custom.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem", then it means that the dll in question was not found. If I understand correctly wxmsw26_gcc_custom.dll is the wxWidget compiled library. If so, a first thing is that you have to compile wxWidgets with UNICODE. How to do this, the following post tell you it. This dll should be placed together with codeblocks.exe.

Remeber that after you have compiled the CodeBlocks.cbp you have to run update.bat (you will need also zip). After update.bat, what I usually do is opening the ContribPlugins.workspace and compiling all. But you can just compile what you need/like.

Best wishes,
Michael

PS.: On "How to compile C::B" you can search in the forum. You will probably find several useful posts.
