I don't think that your second question is specific to Linux.

I meant to say that if we need wxLogDebug() function, we can keep some option in the wizard to enable building the debug version as Console Application. That might be a better way of handling this Linux specific purpose (though printf() exists in Windows too,  :D).

I am also in favour of removing that option.

that is not intended - if you just want to debug your application and don't want to debug the wxWidgets library,
there is no need to build your debug-build using the wx-debug-library.

the option should stay as it is

Well tiwag you don't like the idea. I agree with your point to keep that. But this works well with GCC, but with Borland there's some problem.

For a new wx user, the option is very confusing as I've stated in previous posts. Already wx is confusing enough for users. Different build config, lot of errors for one missing library, and so on.

I have a suggestion. What if we change the option to "Compile Debug target in Console mode" (or some better sentence) and let the wizard take care of it? By default the wizard will create GUI app but if you check the option it will create Console mode app. I think this will make all of us happy.  :D

But I use MSVC and use wx release dll version for my app. It creates one pdb file and allows me to do (basic) debugging.
