Setting up code blocks so that I can compile wxwidgets programs.

What you 're missing is that the documents you 're talking about start by describing how to build a working wxWidgets installation. Feel free to ignore the parts that help you build C::B itself. All you need is a valid wxWidgets installation...

I wonder why someone whose IP address points directly to "One Microsoft Drive, Redmond" does not use Visual Studio for development.
In fact, I wonder why we have an entire three accounts that seem to be from the same department/person. William must be very scared about what we do in our spare time. 8)

Probably because Code::Blocks doesn't take up 2GB of hard-drive space, doesn't run slowly, and is free (as in freedom). 8)

Looks like I rattled the hornets nest.. good!
It must be me then, because it's so intuitive to use that I can't find a single other person in all these posts who is having similiar problems to my own. Oh wait.. I'm responding just such a thread.
Look, I would like to use code::blocks, particularly because it is cross platform, using a cross platform toolkit. But I'm having tremendous difficulty getting anything to compile under windows with it as I stated earlier. The fact that my employer is in Redmond Washington shouldn't exempt me from posting on these forums, it's akin to enjoying a beer but working at a health food store. -- Give me a break. It has no bearing on my desire to use one project over another.
As to the ease of navigation of the wiki, that's simply because you're already familiar with the hierarchy of the thing.
Codeblocks being free does not automatically give you a shield from critique, if you believe so read the linux dev thread a time or two.
Lastly, I don't have 3 freaking accounts. It's likely that there are a whole 3 other people w/in the 50,000 people employed here that may have enough interest in your project to have actually signed up for an account.
I think that covers the trolling aspect of mine and subsequent posts.
My headache has been solved by deleting my old project file and creating a new one. Something was corrupted and I was unable to follow the many different articles to try and fix my broken project file. - I shouldn't need to do this.. but i've had to do this with other ide's so I guess it's to be expected.
Oh, and I've a change request, if I'm allowed to make one:
This may be that I don't know how CB is handling these files, but when you want to import and xrc, but already have .cpp and .h files accompanying it. It would be nice to have CB not overwrite the old file. My work around has been to save off the old files, import the xrc using the same filenames, then move my old 'working' files back overwritting the new files so as to not loose my changes. -- I've had to do this several times as CB has at times "lost" a dialog or two.

Someone get the hose... quickly :lol:
William, don't get over-sensitive now. Thomas' post was clearly not ill-intended.
