cshong:
I'm using Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. I had installed wxWidgets version 2.8.4. In Project - Build Options - wxWidgets application - Custom Variables, I had set WX_DIR = C:\wxWidgets-2.8.4, this is the path I installed wxWidgets to.

When I try to build my first application, a build error "C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.4\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lwxmsw26" was occured. Why?

How to solve this problem (only with wxWidgets version 2.8.4, without having to install previous version)?

Ceniza:
Edit your project settings and change the name of the library to link against from wxmsw26 to wxmsw28 and you should be done.

cshong:
The solution posted by Ceniza does not work. why?

I compile wxWidgets using Visual C++ 2005.

The problem occured in code::blocks

Then you should use appropriate compiler. Create a new project using wxWidgets wizard and select Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 compiler.
