Eyecare in wxWidgets 2.8.3
eckard_klotz:
Hello Paramin.
I never used the decpak-plugin before yesterday evening. But after my last post I tried it out and had to learn that it could be dificult to download all current devpacks (for example wxWidegts 2.8.3). But that's no problem for you.
If you visit the site directly you can download every devpak you want manualy. To install a devpak you only have to change the file-attachment ".devpak" into ".tar.bz". Than you are able to unpack the archive with a programm like 7zip. So they wrote on the devpak-side.
I tried it out and it works (I mean the download and installation not the compilation-process). This has also the advantage that you can install alternative versions on your system. After that you can change the search-directories in your project to find out, if on version has an incorect library. Ok if you change between "2.8.3" and "2.6.3", I think this will work only for simple projects, but perhaps it is a chance to find the corse of your problem.
Regards,
Eckard Klotz.

Hello Paramin.
Sory one more mistake. You are not able to download "2.6.3" as devpak. It is "2.6.1" or an older version if you take the link on the right of the devpak-side (look under GUI).

Are you shure that the compiler-directory is realy "\wxWidgets-2.8.3\lib\gcc_lib\mswu" and not
"\wxWidgets-2.8.3\include\ xxx". In my wxWidget-version the include-header have their own directory. But on the other way if an include-directory is missing the compiler will give an other error.

I dont have no idea if that directory is the wxWidgets compiler directory, neither i cant understand how c::b have a new wxWidgets wizard after compiling manually wxwidgets with mingw... As you see, i have many doubts.
I have downloaded devpak, now i´m trying to use it. A plugin? Ok, i´ll search a howto of plugins... :P
And, very very thanks for your help. I´m very interested in having this running. Im so stubborn, that i need this to run, although i dont know if we´ll use for anything :)

Hmmm,
I think im a jinx... Im not able to run devpak.
I downloaded the devpak from where you said... OK
I click on plugins -> devpak installer/uninstaller, and there is an error.
So I thought all i need is the devpak. So i go to build options->search directories-> and... im trying to change the default directories i have, thats:
--- Quote ---Resource compiler ------> D:\wxWidgets-2.8.3\lib\gcc_lib\mswu
Linker------------------> D:\wxWidgets-2.8.3\lib\gcc_lib
Compiler----------------> D:\wxWidgets-2.8.3\lib\gcc_lib\mswu
--- End quote ---
but, i dont have the same folders!.
I have been searching a few tutorials or forum posts, but i cant understand what i have to do.
Anybody knows?
I´ll open a new topic for installing devpak, thanks a lot!

Hello Paramin.
As I learnd yesterday evening on the devpak-site devpak is a "tar.bz2-archive" wich means first the folder-system was put into a tar-archive and then this tar-file was compressed to a bz-archive. The plugin is a downloader-tool and is only able to extract those devpaks wich were downloaded by itself.
But you can extract the devpak with the tool 7-zip (www.7-zip.org). Rename the pevpak "xyz.devpak" into "xyz.tar.bz2" and open it with 7-zip. First you have to extract the bz2-archive. after that you can drag and drop the files and folders in the directory you want.
Take look to the text under the list of categories on the devpak-site.
