Newbie question: Trying to build a win32 application

<< < (2/3) > >>

Miguel Gimenez:
wxSmith is integrated in Code::Blocks as a plugin (and is enabled by default).

You must install wxWidgets (a precompiled version if available for your compiler or one compiled by yourself from sources).
Then you can select File -> New -> Project -> wxWidgets Project and use the resources panel on the left side to select the frame created by the wizard and edit it.

Later, the wxSmith menu entry allows creation of new frames or dialogs.

I see from the 7z binary I chose for wxWidgets (the one for Visual C++ 10), that everything is dumped into a library called lib/, and according to the Code::Blocks page here (at https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Using_wxWidgets_Pre-Built_Binary_in_CodeBlocks), having an include/ directory seems important. I don't have one, unless I download the source for wxWidgets, which I didn't see mentioned in that page. Is this what they intended?

Miguel Gimenez:
There are three 7z files, you must use at least the first two.

paul_king:
I'm not sure what you mean by "the first two". I see only one chicklet to click on: "Download windows Binaries". THis is on the page https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/, to be clear. Do you mean the first two versions?

Miguel Gimenez:
I am referring to the link you posted in reply #6. In the link in reply #8 you have a link to the header files just at the top of the page.
