Title: Unable to open file 'WXMSW28U_CORE.LIB'
Post by: asitis on June 30, 2009, 07:40:03 am
Hi guys

I wonder if any of you guys having the same problem like I am having.
I am trying to use Borland c++ compiler version 5.5 with CodeBlocks8.02 and wxWidgets2.8 with not much success, latest error I received when compiling a GUI project was

-------------- Build: Release in bcc ---------------
Compiling: bccMain.cpp
bccMain.cpp:
Warning W8057 bccMain.cpp 96: Parameter 'event' is never used in function bccFrame::OnQuit(wxCommandEvent &)
Warning W8057 bccMain.cpp 102: Parameter 'event' is never used in function bccFrame::OnAbout(wxCommandEvent &)
Compiling: resource.rc
Borland Resource Compiler  Version 5.40
Copyright (c) 1990, 1999 Inprise Corporation.  All rights reserved.
Compiling: bccApp.cpp
bccApp.cpp:
Linking executable: bin\Release\bcc.exe
Fatal: Unable to open file 'WXMSW28U_CORE.LIB'
Process terminated with status 2 (0 minutes, 4 seconds)
1 errors, 2 warnings
 
I've tried in vain for the last couple of days without any success, can someone shed me a light please.

Thanks in advance

Did you compile wxWidgets itself before (probably using BCC, too)?

Thanks MortenMacFly for replying
No I did not compile them, I downloaded them precompiled for windows they were codeblocks-8.02mingw and wxPack_v2.8.9.02

wxPack_v2.8.9.02
Don't know this ´but if it's compiled for MinGW then you won't find a *.lib file. Check the package and consult the package author accordingly.
