cannot find -lwxmsw

(1/1)

sbrown:
When I try to compile a wxWidgets program using codeblocks I get this linker error:

--- Quote ---ld.exe  cannot find -lwxmsw
--- End quote ---
I am using wxWidgets-2.8.4, so I tried setting the project linker options to wxmsw28 instead, but that didn't
work.

I compiled wxWidgets using the command :

--- Quote ---mingw32-make.exe -f makefile.gcc clean USE_XRC=1 SHARED=0 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0
--- End quote ---

Also, in the Project build options custom variables I have changed the default WX_DIR path to the actual path:

--- Quote ---WX_DIR= C:\wxWidgets-2.8.4
--- End quote ---

Hi !

You have to set wxWidgets directories in Search directories/linker in the project settings.

I added
--- Quote ---$(WX_DIR)\lib\gcc_lib$(WX_CFG)
--- End quote ---
to Build options->Directories->Linker and it's working now, thank you.
