problem compiling wxwidgets

[shurecki]

hi, im trying to compile wxwidgets 2.8.3 but i got some error messages

i instaled wxwidget in C:\wxWidgets-2.8.3
opened the prompt under win XP and
cd wxwidgets 2.8.3\build\msw
mingw32-make.exe -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0

after a few seconds i got:

windres --use-temp-file -i../../src/msw/version.rc -ogcc_mswdll\monodll_version_rc.o   --define __WXMSW__         --include-dir ..\..\lib\gcc_dll\msw --include-dir ..\../include --define WXDLLNAME=wxmsw28_gcc_custom
gcc: ABRI~1\CONFIG~1\Temp: No such file or directory
../../src/msw/version.rc:12:24: wx/version.h: No such file or directory
windres: gcc exited with status 1
mingw32-make.exe: *** [gcc_mswdll\monodll_version_rc.o] Error 1

what i have to do?

Hi !

windres does not support spaces.
You wrote

C:\wxWidgets-2.8.3

and

cd wxwidgets 2.8.3\build\msw

You sould first work with a path without spaces.

The standard build for C::B is UNICODE. You have to use

Code

UNICODE=1

instead of

Code

UNICODE=0

if you do not really need an ASCII build.

i'm sorry, i wrote it wrong at the second time
the right path is "C:\wxWidgets-2.8.3\", without spaces

Try downgrading to binutils-2.17.50-20060824-1, mingw32-make-3.81-1, mingw-runtime-3.11, and w32api-3.7. I'm not sure which combination of these is necessary to build wxWidgets, but these are the ones I have marked for myself to use as opposed to the newer ones.

Hi shurecki

Not sure if this helps, but here's my MingW setup (Win2K) and your make works fine (from "DOS"). Are you building from within C::B??

Hi !

Don't hesitate to look in the wiki. There is a nice page concerning MinGW installation.
Official version is 3.4.5.

I got the exactly same problemi with windres. Did you update it with the snapshot version (maybe to fix the spaces issues?). If yes, just go back to the current version of windres.exe - if you don't have a backup, just download the whole binutils package.

thanks to all

i downloaded mingw again (i was using mingw c++ toolbox because of ogre), then i tryed to compile wxwidgets again and all works fine

thanks

This thread has been useful to me with several helpful suggestions.

Using MinGW-5.1.3.exe and binutils-2.17.50-20070129-1, I had problems compiling wxWidgets-2.8.3.
Based on comments here, I reverted to windres.exe from binutils-2.17.50-20040824-1, and wxWidgets compiled successfully.

I do have one question, however. When I update the CB source code (using SVN), is it necessary to re-compile wxWidgets with each CB update? In other words, does the creation of the wxWidget dll depend on the CB code?

Thanks,
Bob
