Now it is time to compile wxWidgets, open the command prompt and change to the wxWidgets directory:

cd <WXWIN>\build\msw

SET PATH=<MINGW>\bin;<MINGW>\mingw32\bin

NOTE: This is normally SET PATH=C:\MingGW\bin;C:\MingGW\mingw32\bin

Now the first thing to do is to clean up the source:

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=1 UNICODE=1 BUILD=release clean

NOTE: Make sure you use exactly the same options for this step and for the build step below. The clean target uses these variables and only cleans the specified version of the generated object and library files (so it will actually not clean the intended files if these variables are not identical).

NOTE: If you still have problems with compiling after cleaning, you could try to manually remove the gcc_msw directory under the build\msw directory. This directory is the place where the object files are stored.

When everything is clean you can start actually compiling wxWidgets:

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc  MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=1 UNICODE=1 BUILD=release

NOTE: These options are the officially supported Code::Blocks options. If you want another version of wxWidgets (debug or non-unicode) you still have to make sure you build a MONOLITHIC version (one big DLL) for linking Code::Blocks against.

Now you can get a cup of coffee or do something else because this step takes some time. Make sure there was no compilation error before you continue.
