wxWidgets 2.8.0 compatibility

Hi,
I'm just wondering when CB will support the new wxWidgets 2.8.0. I'm not particularly experienced with CB or wxw, so until CB supports the new version I will keep using the old wxw.

Thanks

TDragon:
That depends on what you mean precisely by "support". It can compile programs designed for wxWidgets 2.8.0, and could from the day wxWidgets 2.8.0 was released. Code::Blocks itself is not yet meant to be built with wxWidgets 2.8.0, but that doesn't affect your experience as the end user in the slightest. The current wxWidgets wizard within Code::Blocks won't create wxWidgets 2.8.0 projects, but the projects it creates can be converted to wxWidgets 2.8.0 with a couple of simple changes in the Build options.

mrpringle:
ok thanks. How can I change the build options so I can compile wx 2.8.0 projects? Are there any instructions around for that?

Biplab:
If you don't want to change Build Settings manually, then you can try modified wxWidgets wizard. It is not official yet and undergoing testing. But works perfectly with GCC, BCC and MSVC 8. Download the wizard (Rev2.1) from the following post.

If you want to know more on how to use the files, please read the following post.

You can post your feedback there. By the way which compiler and wx lib configuration are you using?  :)

mrpringle:
using an up to date mingw version.
My config is monolothic and unicode, think that's all.


Also is there a way I can config codeblocks so that instead of having to distribute a dll with the program, the dependencies are embedded in the executable?
