BTW, are you trying to link a version of wxWidgets compiled with MSVC using MinGW?
vc_mswunivudll <-- look suspicious.... VC and Univ...

Actually, I recompiled wxWidgets using mingw32-make. I ran a clean first then I recompiled. Was this a bad move? Should I remove wxWidgets complete. Redownload and then recompile?
I will try removing rc2 installing the night build then installing the stable build if that is what you mean to do.
Thanks! :)
Ceniza:
Just be sure to follow the steps to compile it just like the wiki suggests. A clean followed by a recompile should be OK.

Stable build? Just remove RC2 and install a nightly build :)

Well I did read the nightly build page on how to install this thing but perhaps I had a few expectations that I didn't see right off. One of them was since I was asked to remove RC2 I was looking for an install program. Can't find it. All I see is an image, lexers, plugins, scripts directory, which only was contained in a share/CodeBlocks directory that matches the share directory in my old install. Thinking all I do is replace the old share directory with this one, that is exactly what I did. The nightly build how to page was very cryptic for me. It kept referring to an install file and codeblocks.exe, but none of that came with the nightly build so I just used my old build. However something tells me this isn't what you had in mind. I start up Codeblocks and immediately get error message after error message and now I don't have a toolbar and most of the menu options will not work. I can't even get import to work to import a sample wxWidget program.
I apologize for being slow on this. Look at it from my point of view. I've been trying to get CodeBlocks working now for almost a week and I am probably just as frustrated as those here who are wondering what is taking me so long. ;)

You can't replace the old share directory with the new one that will never work.
Just uninstall RC2, download 7-zip, get the dlls, and the Code::Blocks build from the nightly build posts. Then extract everything, and place the dlls inside wherever you extracted the Code::Blocks build.

Required DLL (extract this in the same dir as Code::Blocks)

Remember to install a newer version of GDB.
MinGW comes with gdb 5.2.1 which does not work with C::B, please dowload 6.3-2 version here (or anywhere else):
