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

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.

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?

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 ... 
echo --------------------------------------------------------------------- 
  
::echo Clean Env
::mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc clean

echo Compile Release Version
::SHARED=0, Static Link Library. SHARED=1, Dynamic Link Library.
::MONOLITHIC=0, Multiple Widgets. MONOLITHIC=1, Single Widgets.
::UNICODE=0, Not Support Unicode. Unicode=1, Support Unicode.
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=0 MONOLITHIC=0 UNICODE=1  .
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=0 UNICODE=1 

echo Compile Debug Version
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug SHARED=0 MONOLITHIC=0 UNICODE=1 
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=0 UNICODE=1 

echo --------------------------------------------------------------------- 
echo Compile Succeed.

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.

I have found a good way to set up wxWidgets3.1.1 develop environment in CodeBlocks 17.12 [windows ONLY].
guidestep notes
7.1 select which version of wxWidgets we will use, here we select wxWidgets3.1.x
7.2give a name to our project and set its location. You can config any path in your desire
7.3set author information, you can ignore this step
7.4select Dialog based or Frame Based Progamming Model, it depends you need,here for simplicity, we select Dialog Based
7.5set wxWidgets path, if you have already set global variable wx in CodeBlocks Setting tab, just fill $(#wx) ,otherwise fill the full wxWidgets installed path
7.6select compiler, let it as default
7.7make sure Use WxWidgets DLL Enable UnicodeConfigure Advanced Options three options is selected
7.7make sure two GUI Mode Application is selected
7.8first select all items, then unselect wxDBGrid,wxOdbc,wxQa three items

attachment is my successful screenshot.
