Title: Missing header files in codeblocks wxWidgets project
Post by: nanobot on May 23, 2013, 12:55:06 pm

I use Linux Mint 14 and loaded Codeblocks 10.05 using the software manager.
Using a console application no problems, so I tried to use  a wxWidgets project, here I found that I could create a project but when I came to build it had errors which pointed to missing headers. /wx/*.h many people seem to have had this error on the forums. I went into the Synaptic package manager and downloaded and installed wx2.8 headers. When I had done this all was well and I can now build and compile GUI apps, no more missing header errors or setup.h errors.
I assume as I could not find the wx folder referred to in the build errors that these did not install with Codeblocks 10.05 when it was first installed.
I have included this in case it may help someone using Codeblocks with Linux.

Regards to all from New Zealand

The wxWidgets library has "nothing" to do with c::b. C::B is only a IDE (Editor), no  compiler nor a library...
So, if you want develop with wxWidgets, you have to install wx separately...

In the long term, the various package maintainer's could add a 'wx-devel' dependency to wxSmith.

ut eNot a good idea.
If some user want to install the contrib-plugins to use some of them, but never want to develop with wxWidgets, why should they install the whole library ?
Instead of a dependency it can suggest or recommend it.

By the way: the codeblocks package already suggest wx-common and libwxgtk28-dev on debian (at least if the maintainer uses our control-file).
