Pingi:
Thanks for that pdf, everything is explained. But what about wxWidgets, I understood that it is for creating windows and stuff, how to install and use it?
I've been on their site and there are a lot of things to download, I just don't know what is important.

This is my last question   :)

On the site mandrav posted there is a link to the Nightly Cookbook.
Everything is explained there.
For using wxWidgets on Windows for your own projects you have to build at least the Release-version and set the base-parameter of the "wx" variable in C::B.

You don't need wxWidgets to create windows, you can also look for example at the Win32-gui-example, but using a toolkit like wxWidgets is much more comfortable.

Pingi:
Thanks for help. I think I'll manage.

Exactly what I'm looking for. It's downloading now. Many thanks. Just a thought, but it might be worth someone putting some info about that on the download page while the nightlies are standard practice

Now I've got another problem. Running ./configure I run into this:

--- Code: ---./configure: line 24298: AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG: command not found
./configure: line 24299: syntax error near unexpected token `2.8.0,'
./configure: line 24299: `AM_PATH_WXCONFIG(2.8.0, wxWin=1)'

--- End code ---

From what I've read, this is resolved by installing wxgtk-dev, but that package is not available on the Arch repositories, and I don't know where else to find it. There seems to be no direct mention of it on the wxwidgets site.

Edit: Ah, looks like there are instructions for installing wx from source on that wiki page.
