Title: missing lib
Post by: pegasus on November 11, 2006, 03:33:05 pm

hi everyone

i'm using the codeblocks:build Nov 10 2006 wx2.6.3 (windows unicode).

downloaded the mingw and wxWdigets 2.6.2 version and complied described here:

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Compiling_wxWidgets_2.6.2_to_develop_Code::Blocks_%28MSW%29

after that i compiled it with codeblocks. no problem till the point he tries to compile the scintilla ... parts. it says:

cannot find -lwxmsw26u

so, i looked for that lib in the wx project and it isn't there, but i did the steps described in the link i mentioned. could some help me?

It is under <wxfolder>/lib/<prefix>/, so for example D:\wxWidgets-2.6.3\lib\gcc_dll on my machine.
You may need to add that path to linker paths, and you will have to copy the dll to the executable folder after building (or to the Windows folder, or modify PATH).

i know :) i did that but the lib is not in that folder. i compiled wxWidgets like discribed in the link i gave, but after the compiling there isn't the library,  :shock: so, i don't know. any other ideas?

Well, that suggest that compiling wxWidgets was not successful (for whatever reason). I see no other possible explanation -- after a succesful build, it is there.

Have you looked at the compiler output after building wxWidgets? There are usually about 200,000 warnings, that's normal. However, if there is an error, then it should break and the error be visible as the last entry.
Did you make sure you have the requisites, in particular a recent enough make version?

no, there was no error, and a loooot of warnigs? and there was no error message at the end. all things looked good. so, i realy don't know what the problem is. maybe the makefile? but i don't think so, because you guys all work with them :). hmm i'm realy sad about that, because i want begin to develop for codeblock. i love that peace of program. it's great.

I have no idea if the following will help you, since you did not get an error.

I had to add dx80_mgw.zip to my MinGW directory
From http://www.mame.net/downmain.html
over wise I got this error.

../../src/msw/display.cpp:235: error: 'struct DDPIXELFORMAT' has no member named 'dwRGBBitCount'
mingw32-make: *** [gcc_mswudll\monodll_display.o] Error 1
