Setting up code blocks so that I can compile wxwidgets programs.
djsbriscoe:
Hi,
I am a first time user of code blocks and I'm experimenting with C++ and wxwidgets under Windows 2000.
First of all appologies if this is covered somewhere in the forum.
I can not find an up to date step by step guide to setting up code blocks so that I can compile wxwidgets programs.
I followed the instructions at http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=1701.0 up to entering the mingw32-make commands.
My path for mingw32-make is c:\progra~1\codeblocks\bin and this is also in my system path. My path for wxwidgets is c:\wxwidgets-2.6.2.
I am using RC2 and I dont understand the note in the above webpage about using a post RC2 build.
Can anyone help me out of this confusion?
Thanks.
David.

Hello,
The problem is that you cannot use RC2 to build C::B from the SVN sources. To build C::B from the SVN sources you should download a nightly build (possibly the latest :)). Anyway, I would advice you to use the latest nightly build as RC2 is a bit old now :).
Happy coding :).
Best wishes,
Michael

Hi,
I've downloaded the latest (10/4/06) build, how do I use it?
Do I have to unzip the files into an existing installation?
Are there any more files I have to download and install?
David.

Apparently you can't install a nightly build over v1.0rc2, so either uninstall it, and unzip to the same folder, or install to a new folder

No, please. Do not unzip a nightly build into an existing RC2 installation. Choose another repository.
If you plan to use MinGW and you do not have it yet, then get it (use MinGW 5.0.2 installer). You might want to update later the win32api & binutils files.
From each nightly build post you can download the necessary dll, if you do not have yet.

That depends on what you have already (see above). If you have nothing, then the best would be to:
-1: Download and install MinGW
-2: Download gdb 6.3.2 from MinGW website and install it.
-3: Download C::B nightly build
-4: Download the unicode windows wxWidget dll for Code::Blocks
-5: Unzip C::B and the wxWidget dll for Code::Blocks
-6: Start C::B and configure GNU GCC compiler
-7: Download wxWidgets and build it (see http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=1701.0)
-8: Enjoy :)
Best wishes,
Michael
