wxWidgets 2.6 (MSW, GCC) installation instructions
jmccay:
I got it compiling. Just incase anyone else has the problem, I will post what I had done. When I installed mingw32-make.exe I installed it under the mingw directory, and I put that path under the path environment variable. It didn't have all the other files. I copied the file into the main bin directory with the other programs, and then reset the path variable to that directory. After that I tried compiling with mingw32-make at the command prompt. It's compiling upstairs as I type this. We'll see if I have other problems. I added --jobs=3 to the arguments because that should allow 3 to compile at once if possible. Thanks for the help. :)

AFAIK this doesn't work under windows...

I did eventually find out that --jobs doesn't work without sh. Oh well. After compiling successfully, I found out I didn't have the same version of Mingw as that in the packaged version of cb. I got a compiled with different versions error.
I decided to set my path to the codeblocks bin (C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\bin) and (C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\mingw32\bin) and now I get a bunch of duplicate warnings similar to:
--- Code: ---../../include/wx/string.h:58: warning: type attributes are honored only at type definition
--- End code ---
then at the end I get stuff like this:
--- Code: ---gcc_mswdll\basedll_archive.o(.data$_ZTI21wxArchiveClassFactory[typeinfo for wxAr
chiveClassFactory]+0x0):archive.cpp: first defined here
gcc_mswdll\basedll_zipstrm.o(.rdata$_ZTS21wxArchiveClassFactory[typeinfo name fo
r wxArchiveClassFactory]+0x0):zipstrm.cpp: multiple definition of `typeinfo name
for wxArchiveClassFactory'
--- End code ---
I want to make sure wxWidegts 2.6.1 with patch is compiled with the same version as CodeBlocks. Unfortunately, downloading a new version of Mingw until I get my car back from the shop. Any suggestions. Once I get everything up and running I want to help out with cb development. I like cb because of its modular design.

About the million warnings when compiling wx itself or a wx-based app (talking about wx2.6.1), I found that if you use gcc-3.4.4 they don't appear :?
Previous C::B-mingw bundles provided gcc-3.4.2 IIRC. The next release, due out any time now, will contain gcc-3.4.4 so these warnings will be history, hopefully.

I was wondering what all that talk about mass warnings was about. About two weeks ago I compiled wxWidgets with GCC 3.4.x and didn't receive any error or warning messages. Glad that mystery is solved.
