Cannot Build SVN 12799 From Source

[Frank_CB]

Running into a problem trying to build a 64-bit version of CB from source. Downloaded and built wxWidgets-3.1.6 libraries. Using, Codeblocks_wx31_64.cbp on SVN 12777 host built with wxWidgets-3.1.5, the following file can't be found. wxmsw31u
Build Log portion

Code

I can't find any reference to that file in any library. The only place that it shows up is in the Build Log so far. Am using a desktop platform with Windows 10 (64-bit).

Any ideas of whats going wrong?

You likely built wxWidgets wrong. How did you build it?

cd %wxwin%\build\msw
mingw32-make.exe CFG=64 BUILD=Release SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 clean
mingw32-make.exe CFG=64 BUILD=Release SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1
mingw32-make.exe CFG=64 BUILD=Release SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=0 clean
mingw32-make.exe CFG=64 BUILD=Release SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=0
mingw32-make.exe CFG=64 BUILD=Release SHARED=0 MONOLITHIC=0 clean
mingw32-make.exe CFG=64 BUILD=Release SHARED=0 MONOLITHIC=0

Command line superceeds configure.gcc where shared and monolithic are both set to 1.

I never had good luck doing MONOLITHIC=0 and MONOLITHIC=1 in the same folder; I always had to delete and restart the build.

And, CB did not two years ago work with CFG=64; without editing the CB project.

CB needs SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 build.

What did you actually have to edit?

Not sure anymore it might have been a custom variable or a lot more.

Edit: Try editing "WX_CFG"
Edit2: You might need to edit "WX_SUFFIX" because you likely built a debug version of wxWidgets.
Note: I suggest following the CB wxWidgets build directions because this is likely just a start of problems.
Edit3: https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Windows#Build_wxWidgets_Library
Note: The building wxWidgets directions have changed some since I last read them.

@stahta01
I have rebuilt wxwidgets316 with CFG=64, Shared=1 and MONOLITHIC=1. Deleted left-over obj31_64,  devel31_64 and output31_64 directories from previous successful build of SVN 12777 with wxwidgets315. Have always set WX_CFG TO 64. Re-ordered the Search Directories for the Compiler and Resource Compiler to ensure setup.h was included first. Have now successfully built the core of CB 12799.

The left-over directories were causing the error.

Thanks.
