Help Configuring C::B and wxWidgets

<< < (2/2)

Jamiil:
Well, I would not mind writing an article on "Configuring Code::Blocks to statically link wxWidgets-2.x.x", but some sort of standard must exist, so that I can write about it, However this standard has elude me. So far I have been giving ideas and tips on how to do it, but there has not been a thorough follow-up.
Unfortunately, or otherwise, my background is in the UNIX world and  
Nevertheless, I am going to log all the messages in this thread in the hope that, if I finally get the library to successfully link and compile, I'll be able to document my experience so that others can learn from it.  I am not a technical writer, or a writer for that matter, but after all these years reading and writing technical articles, notes and documentation for every piece of software I have used or developed I feel I am up to the challenge.
I understand that Rickq22 has the Know_How, since s/he once tried to create the documentation, perhaps we could team up to and have it once and for all completed.

Oh, seems compiling wxWidgets isn't very out-of-the-box with Code::Blocks, maybe making Code::Blocks projects for compiling it could help??

If that is done would be very great contributing it to wxWidgets next release. A better solution would be to make a bakefile plugin that generates Code::Blocks projects, so the wxWidgets team can auto mantain the projects.
Hope that anyone knows how to do it.

As for other libs (SDL, zlib, etc) would be great that the people that manages compiling a lib and projects could put somewhere the project files (here at the forum or at the WiKi), a rough guide at least would be great also.

I have written a small tutorial on how to use SDL with codeblocks.  It can be found at http://www.ubergeekultd.com/tutorials/SDLcodeblocks.pdf
I hope it helps out.  I'll write one up about how I use zlib with codeblocks where I have more time... and perhaps I'll even get around to the one on wxwidgets.  It isn't all that hard, it just takes some time.
