Ok I tried that. Well, actually, I tried: mingw32-make.exe -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=debug UNICODE=1
Is this bad? There is still no such file as libwxmsw28ud, BUT there are other, similar files in C:\wxWidgets-2.8.4\lib\gcc_lib. I also hadn't noticed they were all prefixed with 'lib' (these files, they are democrats?). They all have _something at the end (i.e.: _richtext, _xrc or whatever.). I must be missing something obvious here.
