Problems with Wx

(1/4) > >>

DarkDepths:
I have been using dev-cpp for... 3 years, and a few days ago I made the switch to code::blocks. There are many things I like, but I am having problems with wxWidgets. First, should I use 2.6.3, or 2.8.x? I downloaded 2.8.x, but cannot seem to get it too work with C::B.

I have confused myself pretty good, and am looking for any help whatsoever, but I would really love it if someone could link me with the download to the version they prefer, assuming that I am on windows XP.

My biggest fear is that I downloaded the wrong file. In fact, I downloaded wxwidgets 2.6 MSW.

If that is the right file, then I honestly don't know what I am doing wrong, because I cannot get it too build!

You should also not abandon Dev-C++ but continue to use it in parallel with CB, because CB has still lots of bugs. The CB developpers that post here on the forum know so much CB, that they know how not to be bothered by the bugs. But we newcomer have not this knowledge.

Some big projects i developped since 4 years with Dev-C++, i can't compile or link them with CB. Even if your project compile and link OK with CB, one day you may find a bug or a lack of feature in CB, that blocks further development of this project with CB.

What i realized also is 1) even at the beginning of using Dev-C++ it was easy to solve by myself most of the problem encountered (compile, link, interface use, etc...) 2) after downloading and using CB since nearly one year, i need this forum for solving most of the problems.

DarkDepths:
Oh. I do not plan on abandoning devcpp, but I was getting tired of using the same version. I know that sounds odd, but it hasnt been updated in 2 years, and that makes me feel behind the times. Plus, I really like in C::B the thing where you can minimize your functions to make your code more managable!
