I know you don't have Broadband internet, but I think you should look at wxPack. It takes all the issues with building wxWidgets and does them for you. All you have to do is worry about writing your new applications!
There here is a tutorial on get wxPack and Code::Blocks up and running using MinGW.

I will look at it, but large file sizes scare me! See... 200mb would take me about a full day, more probably about 20 hours. The main problem with that is that my dad works on the road and calls home at night, so that really is impossible. So thank-you, but I do not think I can go that way. Besides, MinGW shouldn't take that long, so Ill be up and running in no time!
Well, I downloaded MinGW exactly how the cookbook told me too. I created a directory in my D drive and unzipped everything there. I Also unzipped WxWidgets to my D drive. So I did everything that I was told to in the cookbook, yet when I try to get to the build\msw directory in the WX folder, it keeps saying access is denied.
I don't understand what I am doing wrong, and please do not direct me to some ginormous file!
DarkDepths:
Hmmm... this is just a little update. I opened up cmd and changed from my C drive to my D drive. Then I tried cd <WX>\build\msw. It said access denied. Then I tried cd <MGW>\bin. Again I get "access denied."
I can't figure out why I cannot do anything! It is getting pretty frustrating.

If I recall correctly I had this error till I replaced the mingw32-make with version 3.80 instead of 3.81.
Note: My access denied was happening after running the make command, for your description you might a different issue.

Nope, that's not it. Is there anyway to go about this without having to build WxWidgets? I hear that once it's built the file becomes pretty big, so that kinda worries me. But I still don't understand why my access is denied. It has nothing to do with users, becuase there is only one user and its admin.
