Thanks for putting the directions needed together. And, one more person confirms the wxWidgets 3.2 package works.

Can you put this in the wiki?

I am creating more CB projects; once I am done will see if I still can edit the wiki.

I have come across two issues as described below:


WX_CONFIG Library usage
Cannot build SDK target using what I think is the standard using the library linker tag as follows:
    You cannot use the following
        <Add library="`$(WX_CONFIG) --libs std,aui,propgrid`" />
    You need to use this
        <Add option="`$(WX_CONFIG) --libs std,aui,propgrid`" />

    Because the library code does not work with the wx_config results correctly. Another issue is that when using the wx_config as an option the libraries are included in the link command order like they are options and not libraries. The work around in Tim's CodeBlocks_wx32-msys2.zip project is to specify libraries that need to be included before the wxWidgets libraries as an option like:
        <Add option="-lwxscintilla_cb" />

Does anyone know if there is a way to use the library tags instead of option tags? I could not find any way of doing this with the current code that I looked at, but I may not have looked in the right place.


Additional Paths issue and potential changes required:
When you include $(TARGET_COMPILER_DIR)../usr/bin in the "Additional Paths" option in the global Compiler setting then on Windows any existing project that includes the zip command in the <ExtraCommands /> you will need to change the directory delim '\' to '/' if you are using the '/' delim as you will now use the MSYS2 usr/bin/zip instead of your existing windows zip file.

I see no difference between what you say works and not works.
Oops I see it now.
