Title: Getting wxWidgets to work
Post by: TonyP on December 06, 2023, 03:46:25 pm

Hi all, looking for some help getting wxWidgets to work.  Frankly, I'm having a horrible time with it.  Using GCC compiler and have wxWidgets installed (I think).  Clicking compile gives me an error:

C:\wxWidgets\include\wx\platform.h|183|fatal error: wx/setup.h: No such file or directory|

Double clicking on the error in the build messages, takes me to the offending line in "platform.h".

there is indeed no setup.h in wx but I have a setup.h file in msvc/wx/setup.h, should I simply copy this to the wx directory?  Or should I edit the platform.h file to refer instead to the msvc/wx directory?

You likely need to build wxWidgets or download an already built wxWidgets.

MSVC's setup.h can't be used in GCC compiler.

The OP just needs to read the official wxWidgets docs to learn how to build and use it.

The setup.h is error is even in the FAQ.

FWIW, I have written a whole guide on how to build wxWidgets with GCC and use in Code::Blocks: https://github.com/PBfordev/wxpbguide
