Hello,

System: Ubuntu Feisty HERD 3 (test 3 of the upcoming Ubuntu 7.04, to released in April 2007)
Code::Blocks IDE: svn build rev 3566, feb 4.

I created a simple wxWidgets 2.6 project using the wizard.
When I compile the project, it says that: "No config found to match: wx-config --version=2.6 --static=yes --unicode=no --debug=yes --cflags"

If I type the wx-config command on the command line, it reveals that some of the --flags are unknown.

$ wx-config --version=2.6 --static=yes --unicode=no --debug=yes --cflags

Warning: No config found to match: /usr/bin/wx-config --version=2.6 --static=yes --unicode=no --debug=yes --cflags
in /usr/lib/wx/config
If you require this configuration, please install the desired
library build. If this is part of an automated configuration
test and no other errors occur, you may safely ignore it.
You may use wx-config --list to see all configs available in
the default prefix.
----------------

Wx-config does not know about these options:
--static=yes --unicode=no --debug=yes

But it accepts these arguments:
--static=no --unicode=yes --debug=no
----------------

Wx-config's help page reports this:
$ wx-config --help

wx-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--release] [--version-full]
[--list] [--host=HOST] [--toolkit=TOOLKIT] [--universal[=yes|no]]
[--unicode[=yes|no]] [--debug[=yes|no]] [--static[=yes|no]]
[--version[=VERSION]] [--basename] [--cc] [--cppflags] [--cflags]
[--cxxflags] [--rezflags] [--libs] [--cxx] [--ld] [--linkdeps]
[--utility=UTIL] [LIB ...]
----------------

This Ubuntu installment has these package versions:

$ wx-config --version

Of course, the project compiles succesfully if I remove the bad --arguments.

IMHO, It is saying that it can NOT find a compiled version on wxWidgets that matches what you are requesting.

Do you have wxWidgets 2.6 compiled on your machine with static=yes --unicode=no --debug=yes ?

If you do, it might need to be told where to find it, using --prefix.

Biplab:
The wizard requests you to select appropriate version of wx lib. Wizard does not check existence of required wx configuration in Linux. Thus always select the appropriate version or you'll face such errors.

To check which configuration(s) you have type wx-config --list in the shell. It will give you list of available configurations. Based in that output select the appropriate options in wizard. :)

momaa:
Ok. Thanks for the explanation.
This Ubuntu machine has a default wxWidgets installation.

$ wx-config --list

Default config is gtk2-unicode-release-2.6

Default config will be used for output

Alternate matches:
base-unicode-release-2.6

It is impossible to create a wxWidgets 2.6 project (using the wizard) that compiles without manual tuning.
Newbies will not be happy.

So what the Newbies are never happy in my view because they think that they should NOT have to do any work to learn how to code.
