Title: ld.exe cannot find -lwxmsw28u
Post by: mico on September 27, 2008, 11:29:39 pm

Hi,

I am new in using CB. I tried to use CB to make wxWidgets application.
1. I compiled wxWidgets. The directory of wxWidgets: c:\wxWidgets
2. Put wxWidgets directory as $(#wx)
3. Put $(#wx)\lib\gcc_dll\mswu as additional compiler search directories (so compiler can find wx/setup.h)
4. Create New Project, wxWidgets project
5. Then try to build
6. Got build error messages: ld.exe   cannot find -lwxmsw28u

how to solve this? I am using Windows XP Home, wxWidgets-2.8.8

regards,

Mico

Did you also add "$(#wx)\lib\gcc_dll" as search-directory for linker ?

Hi jens!
mico almost follow correct thing which is mentioned in step 3.
Your suggestion is for linker too. Am I right?
I did the settings for both compiler and linker. But still I have the same issue.
Jens!..could you please explain little bit more!!!

Not for linker too, but for linker.
