Compiling Codeblocks from sourcecode
sethjackson:
OK let me get this straight where did you download them from? You need the libs to build C::B.... Just having the DLL's won't work....
Download wx 2.6.3 from here.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxMSW-2.6.3-Setup-1.exe
Then compile with these instructions... It doesn't matter that it says wx 2.6.2....

I downloaded wx 2.6.3, and I set the global variable wx to point to that directory and then compiled the project and along the way I get the error message
ld.exe:: cannot find -lwxmsw26u
I will addon that I now understand that I have to compile the library for wxWidgets before I can compile codeblocks, now the problem I am having is compiling wxWidgets library according to the link you sent me
After Researching and if I understand correctly, MingW cannot build the library for wxWidgets, only borland or vc++ can

NO. :shock: MinGW builds wx just fine. It is the official way of building C::B.... I have no clue where you read that.... :shock:
EDIT:
Here is what I do. I have MinGW.
--- Code: (dos) ---cd <WXWIN>\build\msw
--- End code ---
--- Code: (dos) ---mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=1 UNICODE=1 BUILD=release
--- End code ---
That is all now wait for MinGW to finish compiling wx. Then compile C::B. :D HTH

I miss read the instructions...this is the output I am getting

Ok I fixed the Wiki. someone changed the build steps (doesn't matter too much, but it wasn't correct). :P
Use this
--- Code: (dos) ---mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=1 UNICODE=1 BUILD=release
--- End code ---
EDIT:
You need at least GCC 3.4.2 to compile I belive.... I have 3.4.4 which comes with RC2. I think you have an older version of GCC.
See this.
