How to build wxwidgets-2.6.3 to work with code::blocks
mandrav:
Try a recent nightly build (today's or yesterday's). One of the changes is the re-designed new project wizard which makes it so much easier to create a *valid* (i.e. with all the correct settings) wxWidgets app.

Thanks.
I also had no Idea that there was a patch 2 available for wxWidgets.
Yes, its getting the settings right that is the key. I see *so* many messages from people struggling with this. Which should be global, which project specific, which include folders will automatically end up with subolders appended by the build process, and why above all things does wxWidgets bury the critical setup.h include in a folder under lib??
I am glad that active development is proceeding so vigorously, but when a project is marked release candidate 2 shouldn't the project be feature-complete and all but the most subtle bugs have been squashed?

If I were you, I would:
1) Update and re-build wxWidgets with Patch 2 if you are still using a version with Patch 1.

I did this...

2) Update C::B to the latest revision (nightly build or build by yourself).
--- End quote ---
Did this...

3) Instead of using a template, try to generate a new project and set coorectly the include and lib directory (also set correctly the type of application you are developing, e.g., dll).
--- End quote ---
But this last is pretty unclear to me. Generate using a template? Write a project from scratch, using some other editor? And use what as a guide to specifying the 'correct' include and lib directories? All I have is settings that I *know* don't work, and I have a *lot* of them to choose from. I will do my best to do something like this, but for now I have lost another workday on this project.

PS.: Search also in the forum. I am quite sure that you will find some useful info.

Did that too - lots of lost souls out there...
So here is what my ultra trivial code says now when I build it. In fact, the build doesn't report an error, It just acan't find an executable to run.

Ceniza:
Could you check if you have in the list of defines for your project WXUSINGDLL?
If it's not there add it and rebuild your project.

Sorry to not have been very clear. I just meant to create an empty project and then add the include and libs directories, the libraries and whatever you need instead of using a template.

I have given a try to the wxWidgets template (Windows XP SP2, rev2689 built with GCC 3.4.5, wxWidgets 2.6.3 Patch 2 built with GCC 4.0.3, GCC 3.4.5) and it works fine. It builds without errors and warning and runs fine.
May be the problems you have are not with C::B or the template, but e.g., with your wxWidgets or others.
Patch 2 for wxWidgets 2.6.3 can be found here.
Best wishes,
Michael
