I have found a good way to set up
wxWidgets3.1.1 develop environment in
CodeBlocks 17.12 [windows ONLY].
- download CodeBlocks17.12 installer, please visit https://sourceforge.net/projects/codeblocks/files/Binaries/17.12/Windows/codeblocks-17.12mingw-setup.exe/download
- download wxWidgets 3.1.1 source code, please visit https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.1.1/wxWidgets-3.1.1.7z
- download wxWidgets 3.1.1 compiled DLLs, please visit https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/tag/v3.1.1, and click wxMSW-3.1.1_gcc510TDM_Dev.7z
- install CodeBlocks17.12, after finished,please config the MINGW-G++ compiler binary directory in global environment variable PATH,such as: C:\code_blocks\MinGW\bin;
- unzip wxWidgets3.1.1 source code to C: disk, such as C:\wxWidgets
- unzip wxWidgets3.1.1 compiled DLLs, and copy all the files in gcc510TDM_dll directory into above wxWidgets directory, the full path in my computer is C:\wxWidgets\lib\gcc_dll, remember to create directory gcc_dll if it not exists
- open CodeBlocks17.12 and create a new wxWidgets GUI project as following steps
