My wxWidgets app in Code::Blocks is not compiling

(1/2) > >>

davidp:
I just recently installed wxWidgets.  I did the wxMSW option and compiled it successfully, so I installed version 2.8.9.  I installed it to the following directory:

C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\wxWidgets-2.8.9

The global var in Code::Blocks points to that directory.

Then I created a new wxWidgets project in Code::Blocks.  I opted to use wxSmith. 

When I try to compile, I get the following error:


--- Quote ---C:\DOCUME~1\DAVIDP~1\MYDOCU~1\CODEBL~1\WIDGET~1\resource.rc|3|wx/msw/wx.rc: No such file or directory|
||preprocessing failed.|
||=== Build finished: 2 errors, 0 warnings ===|

--- End quote ---

"resource.rc" (which was automatically generated by the Code::Blocks wizard) looks like this:


--- Quote ---aaaa ICON "wx/msw/std.ico"

#include "wx/msw/wx.rc"

--- End quote ---

However, when I look at "C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\wxWidgets-2.8.9\wx\msw" there is very clearly a wx.rc file.  It exists...no doubts.  What could be my problem?

stahta01:
You need to make sure the resource search folder is set up for the project.

"Project" -> "Build options"
Tab "Search Directories"
Sub Tab "Resource Compiler"

I have $(#WX.include) but you might need "C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\wxWidgets-2.8.9\include"

Note: I try to avoid paths with spaces in them.

davidp:
I looked in my project build options, and under "Search Directories -> Resource Compiler" this one is listed:

$(#wx)\include

$(#wx) is my global variable for the location of wxWidgets, which last time I mentioned is:

C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\wxWidgets-2.8.9

So if in my resource file I say:

#include "wx/msw/wx.rc"

Shouldn't it look in this directory:

C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\wxWidgets-2.8.9\include\wx/msw/wx.rc

The file most definitely exists in that directory.

Jenna:
Please change "Settings -> Compiler and debugger... -> Global compiler settings -> <the compiler you use> -> Other settings (rightmost tab) -> Compiler logging" to "Full command line" and post the appropriate part of the build log.

RageKing:
Let me know if you find a solution to this.  I am having the exact same issue.
