[Windows] precompiled wxWidgets in next release
Alexis:
--- Quote ---Soon I'll post the new version of wx precompiled, with the above 4 configurations. Once it has been posted, do what you want with it: add to the next C::B release, post a link in the wiki, or just do nothing

Good news ! Thanks a lot (acting for beginners :) )

I'm afraid there is here the infamous Linux syndrom [which I thought was declining] : Read the f***g manual (even for matters not easy for newbies).
But as you don't care of this stuff, I give up.

I think you 're mixing some things up here.
If we provide pre-built wx libs then why shouldn't we provide qt libs too? And boost? And whatever else?
You have to understand that this is out of this project's scope. We provide the tool (C::B) and as much documentation as is possible for us to write/maintain (considering this is an open-source project and people do work on it on their free time). We also provide support for the project through these very forums. Support that is relevant to our tool (as opposed to doing the homework of users).
So, you want to use wx but can't build it for whatever reason? Use wxPack.
wxPack is too big for you? We 're sorry but we won't build wx for you too.
If inventore123 (or anyone else) is willing to pre-compile and provide wx libs (or any other lib) for others to use, they 're of course free to do so and can also "advertise" it in these forums so others become aware.
Finally, did it ever occur to you that the wx team itself does NOT provide windows binaries of their own product?

You forgot Read the f***g wiki and Search the f***g forums
To my mind, People use too early the forums. There should be preliminary steps such as 'What did you read before posting' and 'What did you try before posting'.

Because C::B is based upon wx and because C::B embeds wxSmith (a RAD tool for wx)...

Dit it ever occur to you that wxDevCpp is an integrated tool providing wx Windows binaries ?
It's an endless debate...

Well, this a reason I admit much better than: "User has to cope him/herself with wx compilation and it's very nice for him/her since it's an excellent way to learn wx". You want to focus on core activity (developping C::B) and not get involved into something peripheral. It's true time is limited...

OK. I'm happy :D! And I think it deserves a link from wiki and main site, too.
inventore123:
Ok, here are the precompiled versions:
I made two versions, because the full release is quite big.
These are specifically made for C::B, and include a Readme.txt with installation instructions.
It's the last version of wx: 2.8.8
1) DLL version: release & debug
compiled in MONOLITHIC and UNICODE mode.
File size 20MB, once extracted 120MB http://inventore.acme-x.net/wxWidgets-2.8-%28dll+release+debug%29.tar.bz2
2) DLL + static: both release & debug
compiled in MONOLITHIC and UNICODE mode.
File size 90MB, once extracted 510MB http://inventore.acme-x.net/wxWidgets-2.8-%28static+dll+debug+release%29.tar.bz2
This is quite big because the static debug libwxmsw2.8ud.a file is 370MB !
Anyway it is still much smaller than wxPack.
