Setting up code blocks so that I can compile wxwidgets programs.
thomas:
You have to include *both* the include directory under your wxWidgets folder and \lib\gcc_dll\mswu_or_whatever_your_build, as the compiler will need
1. include files from within the include directory
2. the file setup.h which is in a subdirectory of your library folder
The "good" way of doing this is to use the wx global variable (see the WiKi for more information on this subject) and set those paths relative to it, since then your project is arbitrarily relocateable (setting the variable alone is not sufficient, of course).
The template coming with Code::Blocks does that correctly, so if you start your project from the template, you should be fine.

Hi,
If I want to set up a new wxwidget application as a new project there are 4 options to choose from and I dont know what to choose (something todo with static DLL's etc which I don't understand).
Regarding settings -> global variable I have C:\wxWidgets-2.6.2\ as the base directory. I cant figure out what to put in the include and lib boxes.
Where do I put the path C:\wxWidgets-2.6.2\lib\gcc_dll\mswu\wx (where setup.h is)?
What directories do I put in the directories setting of the settings -> compiler and debugger -> directories box?
Nothing has been set up automatically by the wxwidget template.
What is WX_CFG= used for under build options?
I have looked at the wiki and can't find anything that answers my questions.
I hope someone can clear up my confusion a bit.
Regards,
David.

Read my above post, or read the WiKi, both explains in detail what to do.

Why do you say that?
As you can very well see, the template sets up everything just fine:
ptruog:
Can you provide the Tutorial on the codeblocks wiki? I tried to download the pdf (presumably the tutorial) from that french site and it requires a login etc..
mais, je ne parle pas
Many thanks

Hi,
I am still having problems compiling the following wxwidgets program.
Could someone PLEASE help me to figure out what the problem is.
I will supply ANY information thats needed and work with whoever can help me to come
to a resolution for these problems with compiling.
Have I missed out an important step after compiling wxwidgets?
Am I geting all my paths mixed up?
What about any environment variables in windows 2000, what are essential for C:B,mingw and wxwidgets operation?
Any way here is the program I am trying to compile, could someone try it on their setup of C:B and see if it works.
If it doesnt can someone give me an example that works for them so I can try it out,Thanks.
PS I am using C:B version 1 revision 2334.
