Trying to get wxWidgets and C::B to be happy with one another...

<< < (2/4) > >>

TDragon:
The thing is, none of the file editing you've done should be necessary. If you have MinGW installed, running "mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc" in the build/msw directory should work from the get-go. GCC/MinGW and Windows both support mixed forward- and backslashes.

mconsidine:
I'm sure you're right.  The lack of "here's how I fixed the problem" postings in the archives atests to that.  But compiled via MSYS and configure, the wxWidgets work find (once the resulting DLLs are copied to the system subdirectory).  And C::B builds the templates/examples just fine, with MinGW set as the compiler.

So I can't figure out what is off.  It is almost as if there's some sort of flag that needs to be set.

If you've got any test compile that you can think of running, I'm all for trying.  I've had lcc-win and the the free Borland compiler installed before, but references to both have been taken out of the path and environment variables.  So I'm running out of ideas of things to change or try.

And that last compile?  It ended up bombing because it supposedly ran out of memory.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  THAT works.  To recap what I did :
- deleted MinGW 3.4.5
- downloaded and unzipped the MinGW 3.4.2 files noted in the post above
   per the ANSI instructions
- downloaded the wxWidgets ZIP file and unzipped (as opposed to using the
   EXE installers)

Running the "mingw32-make" line as noted above worked fine (with the exception of
my filled-up laptop throwing a "low virtual memory" warning on the creation of the
monolithic DLL at the end of the process).

So what I end up with is 5 or 6 .a files and one DLL.

Again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH Michael.

If anyone sees that I'm missing some file, or can point out any locations that these files need to be copied, I'd be appreciative.  Otherwise, it's back to lurking...

Regards,
Matt
