Newbie question: Trying to build a win32 application
paul_king:
In reply #6, the link is to the wxWidgets wiki, which links to the download page in #8. I know I also downloaded binaries frm SourceForge, but there are no separate header file archives there either (this is at https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxwindows/files/3.0.2/binaries/). If there is yet a third place the binaries and headers could be downloaded from which provide the correct binaries and headers understood by Code::Blocks, could you please provide a link specifically to that page, to make our discussion less confusing?
None of the libraries I have downloaded appear to be understood by Code::Blocks. These ones were specific to Visual C++ 2010, which is installed.
Miguel Gimenez:
Under Download Windows Binaries you have all versions, not too difficult:
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.1.2/wxWidgets-3.1.2-headers.7z
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.1.2/wxMSW-3.1.2_vc100_Dev.7z
Code::Blocks don't need to understand that files, it is your compiler who must understand them.

What compiler(s) are you going to be using?
Edit: Your post implied a version of GCC; which version of GCC?
Is it mingw.org or mingw64 based?
What GCC version number?

Hard to say at this point, since the school board's IT team hasn't properly configured Code::Blocks either. I am trying to get this working on my laptop.
I installed Code::Blocks on two computers. Most of my postings concerned the PC, where DevC++ is not installed but Cygwin and VS2010 are. The only C++ compiler CB detected was from VS2010. I had too much course planning to do, so I abandoned that installation rather than reckon with what appears to be an unwieldy situation, after way too many error messages, hours and days spent, and postings about it.
For the record, the version of G++ that it appears to be using (version number doesn't appear in CB) according to DevC++: TDM-GCC 4.9.2 (64 bit). I don't know what "TDM" stands for, but it is GPL 3. For completeness, the version of GCC on Cygwin is 7.4.0, with no funny acronyms.
The laptop still has CB, VC++2019 and DevC++ on it, and I checked, and GNU C++ is the default compiler (probably inherited from DevC++). The latter two work perfectly. As you may know, DevC++ comes with its own GNU C/C++ compiler. I am imagining that I will end up using DevC++, even though it does not appear to have a way to make windowed apps in a RAD environment. I can still teach using the console, and use Java or Python for windowed apps if needed.

If the school board IT team refuses to tell you what compilers there is to use; then, it is unlikely we can help you very much.

Is even older than the GCC shipped with some Code::Blocks windows installs.
But, I think you said it was 64 bit which is better the Code::Blocks newer 32 bit GCC.
