Hello everyone,

i think i have to ask here after searching a solution for two days now and after posting my problem in two other forums...

I try to migrate my project from devC++ to Code::Blocks (which i installed first time). But i'm not common with all this compiler-settings (always used presets, triel and error etc.). So a part of my problem might be more basic then a specific Code::Blocks-question.

Enviornment: Win10 (64bit) notebook, Code::Blocks 17.12 (portable), MingW32, wxWidgets 3.1.2, several openGL-libraries

I have two projects (one of them is just for testing). Both use the same libraries and (as far as i can see) the same compiler- & linker-settings. In fact i used no project- & file-specific setting. For the moment everything is set in the global compiler-settings-page. The problem is that one of the programs is compiled to a single exe-file but the other one to a dll-based exe and i've now idea why.

Maybe someone can give me a hint, where and how this is specified.

Best,
Frank

I am guessing you need to look under project properties.

Project -> Properties
Tab: Build Targets
Pull down menu set to correct value: Type

For both projects, this ist set to "GUI application".

By the way: here are the .cbp-files...

And here are the linker-call as reported while colpiliation (some flags are set for testing):

Sorry, this are the correct linker-call as reported while colpiliation (the others contined redundant duplicate librarie-links):

BlueHazzard:
Are you sure the first produces a monolithic exe?
I am not sure but aren't the static linked wxWidgets libraries in gcc_lib folder and not gcc_dll ? (i am compiling wxWidgets for static libraries right now...)
So if you link against the gcc_lib folder you will get a static linked program, and if you link against gcc_dll you will get a dynamic linked program....
