Is there a Devkit for vs toolkit 2k3?
« on: March 04, 2006, 03:34:08 pm »
I've been messing with codeblocks for about a week now and still can't manage to get the example app to compile with the MS's c++ toolkit 2003. I use visual studio to compile the static libraries, I have added them to the project in the correct order and have followed all tutorials and posts about it that I could find. Still, I get about 52 linker errors and about 212 warnings (with compiling the bare example template).

So, has anyone made a toolkit 2k3 wxwidgets devkit for codeblocks? With precompiled libraries and a ready-to-go template? I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong, I believe a devkit is now my best bet to get it working.

Hello,

Could you say which C::B/OS version are you using?

Moreover, I assume that you are trying to compile the wxWidgets template, or?

Best wishes,
Michael

PS.: Did you install all the required SDKs? Did you check C::B wiki?

I am using c::b RC2 (I use MS's compiler) with the latest stable wxWidget release (2.6.2 i believe). On windows (xp).

I had followed the tuts in the forums (this forum and the wxwidget forum) and both wikis except this one, as it requres me to compile with mingW and just redirect the paths. I can compile all the libs with VS 2003, and use the VS 7.1 toolkit compiler with ogre3d, so I did not download the mingW compiler version.

I have followed tutorials that had built a project file with libs from wxWidgets-2.6.2\build\msw
I have followed tuts that built a project file with libs from wxWidgets-2.6.2\src
I have used and copied pretty much every different setup.h's from many different folders. I had even modified the library defines in them.
I had made sure all the libs were in the correct order. I used examples of what others have gotten working, and tried the order which devcpp defines them. I just can't find where I am going wrong, so hopefully someone made a devpack available with the proper libraries and modified template.

Hello,

You can give a try to the latest nightly build. Nightly builds are stable and more rich in features than RC2 :D.

It is possible that the template (e.g., wxWidgets application) you are using is created to work with GCC. Therefore you will have to modify it to make it work correctly with MS Toolkit .NET 2003.

Best wishes,
Michael
