Above errors appear when I want to build a wxWidgets 3.1.1 basic dialog-based project in Code::Blocks using mingw23-g++.exe, I wanna to know how to fix it. Thanks!

Remove "C:\wxWidgets" from the library list where you added it.

I checked many config and settings,  still can't find where the library list locate? can you show me more details?

following is the linker screenshot, the C:\wxWidgets can't be found in the dialog, but the debugger still run error.

Check under the project setting by clicking on demo in the left hand pane.

Edit: Also, use the scroll down arrow to see if it is below the ones listed in the screen shot for the debug target.

I have checked the linker setting and other tabs many times, still can't find why the IDE output the wrong link options.

[codelighter]

This is the only place I add C:\wxWidgets in IDE, but this is the correct way.

Did you check the project instead of the target settings?
Edit: Till you post a screen shot of the project settings, I will believe you have failed to check them!

Did you check the global compiler linker settings?

You are RIGHT! , I remove the $(#wx) item in the global linker setting. afterwards I encounter a new problem when building. How to solve it?

[stahta01]

You need to add the libraries needed to fix the linking errors.
Edit: "Undefined Reference" errors are linking errors.
Note: The order of libraries matter for some compilers.

I don't well know which libraries these functions own to , I build the newest wxWidget 3.1.1 source code with following command lines.   Advices about wxWidget 3.1.1 build process on windows platform would be appreciated.

Code

@echo off  
cd build/msw  
title Compile wxWidgets  
echo Start Compile ...

The build process result is succeed. but some packages always missing.

Till you learn to use code tags there is no way for me to help you without a lot of work on my part.

And, since the problem is likely Windows libraries are missing the Linux devs are not likely to help you.

Link to how to report a problem. It includes some paste to forum info.

You are likely missing one of these lib statements

Code

 
-lrpcrt4 -loleaut32 -lole32 -luuid -lwinspool -lwinmm -lshell32 -lcomctl32 -lcomdlg32 -ladvapi32 -lwsock32 -lgdi32 -loleacc

The last one tends to match the errors I saw the most.

Thanks very much. I would try it.
