Cannot compile wxwidget 'hello world' [SOLVED]

(1/4) > >>

canassa:
I've been trying without sucess to compile the WxWidgets 'Hello Word' application with C::B. The problem occours at the linking part, this is the output:

Project   : Console application
Compiler  : GNU GCC Compiler (called directly)
Directory : C:\Projetos\teste03\
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Switching to target: default
Compiling: main.cpp
main.cpp:76:2: warning: no newline at end of file
Linking console executable: C:\Projetos\teste03\console.exe

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 2 seconds)
2 errors, 1 warnings

I guess I forgot to include a library, but I don't know which one.  :?

I don't if this helps, but this is my project file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

Thanks,

thomas:
You are linking against an unicode build.

Open Project options, go to compiler tab, and add wxUSE_UNICODE to the #defines field.

canassa:
Thanks, it works now  :D

I still had some issues thought. Some conversion from wxString to char* problems, so I had to convert all strings to wxT("string"). The program also couldn't find the wxwidget dll. That's weird because I have it in my PATH... anyway, I just copied it to system32 and everything is working now :)

Thanks again,
Canassa

RedAlert:
I tried simple Helloworld template in C:B and had the same problem with canassa. After adding wxUSE_UNICODE in #define and rebuild, I got the following error:

---

Is that C:B didn't realize wxMenu constructors? How do I solve out this problem?
Thank you for reading!

Biplab:
Why don't you use wxWidgets Project Wizard?

It's the most elegant way to start programming with wxWidgets. :)

Please try it, if you haven't used it earlier.
