try to compile wxWidgets samples

(1/3) > >>

MoonKid:
I work with wxWidgets CVS and Code::Blocks nightly on WinXP with MinGW.

I am trying to build the wxWidgets samples with C::B. I imported the samples.dsw and made some settings in the "build options". Now I tried to build the "widgets" sample.

There is this error, at the beginning of compiling.
[err]
:: can't open icon file `sample.ico': No such file or directory
[/err]

It is defined in sample.rc of course. I do not know why it did not find it, because sample.rc and sample.ico are in the same directories!

My build settings (for debug unicode)

Search directories - Compiler
$(#wx)\include
$(#wx)\contrib\include
$(#wx)\lib\gcc_dll\mswud

Search directories - Linker
$(#wx)\lib\gcc_dll

Search directories - Resource Compiler
.
$(#wx)\include

Libs
libwxmsw29ud.a
comctl32
gdi32
ole32
oleaut32
uuid

I do not see, why the resource compiler did not found the ico-file in the directory. Of course it is there, because I checked it. :)

stahta01:
Is your workspace file in the same directory as samples.dsw?
Where is your project cbp file in relation to sample.ico?
I think you need to have add the parent directory.

Of course you are right! ;)

The ico- and the rc-file are in the parent directory. And I thougt that the search-dirs are relativ to the current compiling file (the rc-file).
But the rc- and the ico-file is relative to the project file in the parent dir. I added the parent dir to the search-dirs and it compile fine.

Now the linker make problems. It says
[linker]
C:\wxWindows\samples\widgets\bmpcombobox.cpp:229: variable 'vtable for wxTextCtrl' can't be auto-imported. Please read the documentation for ld's --enable-auto-import for details.
[/linker]

I know this option, but do not know where I can switch it off.
I searched in the advanced options, too.

stahta01:
I have no idea for that message from the linker.
If you want, I can try to compile the project myself when I get time?

MoonKid,

The VC import seems to be broken. It fails to import Linker Include Dir and Resource Include Dir.

We'll look into it. Thanks for reporting this bug. :)

For the time being I would give you following suggestion to compile the samples.

* Download a latest nightly.
* Create a New Empty wxWidgets project with C::B.
* Now add the sample source file(s). It should compile properly provided you choose appropriate wxWidgets configuration settings in the wizard.
Regards,

Biplab
