Endless problems with wxwidgets

Hello everyone. I really like codeblocks (I used to use the old version for small c++ programs). So I downloaded a nightly build, a recent one, and I read about wx support (wxsmith and so on). So I downloaded wxPack and installed it and tried to build an application. I am using visual c++ 2008 express. So first time when I get to the wx library setting I select nothing and move on. I am presented with the very nice wxSmith gui builder and I just click "build". And boom. 33 unresolved externals. I looked around on this forum and saw I have to remove msvcrt or something like that and I did what it said. It still did not work, saying something about double declare _free.. I am getting so confused. Can anyone help me?

Fozzybear:
Do you have a particular reason to use Visual C++ instead of MinGW? I believe it's possible to compile wx apps in VCC but MinGW is much easier. I would suggest you try this first and check your paths to wxPack and MinGW.

You should be able to use visual c++ 2008 express, but wxWidgets needs to be complied using visual c++ 2008 express. I do not think wxPack does this at the current point in time.

Right.

I did manage to compile stuff using code blocks, but I had to do some adding and removing of libraries. I had to remove mscvrt and set it to nodefault, and in a certain configuration I had to manually add wxpng, wxtiff and so on.  :)
It really was a pain (and I am not lazy :wink:). The reason I wanted to use vcc this time is that mingw produces so much larger executables, it's almost obscene:)). Leaving the joke behind, I really think that visual c++ 2008 express comes with a rather capable compiler. Until I find I bugging, I will use it from time to time.

Nice work with codeblocks, keep it going that way, I'm really looking forward for a nice linux IDE. Cheers. :D

P.S since I already opened a post, can you also tell me about some good networking examples with wxwidgets? Thank you.
