Hi.
I download wxWidgets 2.8.3 and install it . but I can't build it
I use make -f makefile.gcc , but an error occurs .. I fail to build it on mingw and cygwin. I don't know how to do.Please help me.

Error Message :

$ make -f makefile.gcc
if not exist gcc_mswd mkdir gcc_mswd
/bin/sh.exe: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

$ make -f makefile.gcc
Use the plain Windows command shell to build wxWidgets, not mSYS or Cygwin.

Also remove any reference of MSYS or CygWin from the PATH variable.

I get exactly the same error message. But I can't find MSYS nor Cygwin (isn't installed at all) in my PATH  and I even reinstalled mingw - without success.  :(

I'm using "mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc [OPTIONS]" in the shell, WinXP, latest Mingw 8), wxWidgets 2.8.4
Mingw and wxWidgets dirs are in D:\

Please help - thanks.

Please give us the exact commands you used and the error message.
Since if you haven't cygwin or msys installed, the error message should be different.

Furthermore it would be helpful to post the output of the
Code
path
command.

Just for the case you don't know how to copy from the cmd.exe console:
Right click->Select Mark, mark the text with the left mouse button, press enter then the text is in the clipboard.

if you don't have msys or cygwin installed, you have to use mingw32-make instead of make

Thanks for helping.
MSYS is installed (but shouldn't be in path), Cygwin isn't.

Try the following commands in CMD window, note I am assuming wxWidgets in "D:\wxWidgets-2.8.4" and minGW in "D:\Mingw"

Code
CD D:\wxWidgets-2.8.4\build\msw
SET PATH=D:\Mingw\bin;D:\Mingw\mingw32\bin
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1 clean
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1

Well, it builds now, but:

Code
../../src/msw/version.rc:12:24: wx/version.h: No such file or directory
windres: gcc exited with status 1
mingw32-make: *** [gcc_mswudll\monodll_version_rc.o] Error 1

wxWidgets can be annoying  :(

I just tested it and can reproduce that error with binutils-2.17.50-20070129-1.tar.gz (e.g. binutils-2.17.50-20060824-1.tar.gz works well).

As far as I can remember I switched to an older version of binutils cause i couldn't compile fltk.

You can try
wxWidgets 2.8.4
ftp://ftp.wxwidgets.org/pub/2.8.4/

It tested on latest MinGW without MSYS .

YEAH!  :D

Thank you guys! I used now older binutils (great tip, raph!) and it compiled safly with 10 million warnigs, but without any error.
