Title: wxWidgets 2.8.10 debug configuration error
Post by: blue orb on November 04, 2011, 08:12:45 pm

firstly, wxPack v2.8.12.01 works fine with a new wxWidgets project = everything is ok.

but wxsmith projects won't compile = lots of compiler errors.

i want to use conventional wxWidgets, rather than wxPack.

if i try to use conventional wxWidgets, 2.8.10 or whatever version, i get a matching debug configuration can't be found in the wxWidgets directory you specified error...

can anyone help?

thanks.

Compile wxWidgets using your Compiler and the correct build options.

The compilation errors are not caused by wxPack - they are caused by you not knowing what you are doing. Building wxWidgets is quite difficult, and won't in any case solve your problems. You need to learn how codeblocks works, by building some simple, non-gui applications. As I have pointed out several times, you need to specify where the wxWidgets headers and libraries are - hint: Project|Build Options.

it's more "hello world" stuff, then?

i have done quite a lot of console stuff = system ("cls"); etc.

externs in headers are also done...

thing is, if you don't ask you do not get!
