Title: cannot find -lwxmsw
Post by: sbrown on August 13, 2007, 04:27:33 pm

When I try to compile a wxWidgets program using codeblocks I get this linker error:

Quote

ld.exe  cannot find -lwxmsw

I am using wxWidgets-2.8.4, so I tried setting the project linker options to wxmsw28 instead, but that didn't
work.

I compiled wxWidgets using the command :

Quote

mingw32-make.exe -f makefile.gcc clean USE_XRC=1 SHARED=0 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0

Also, in the Project build options custom variables I have changed the default WX_DIR path to the actual path:

Quote

WX_DIR= C:\wxWidgets-2.8.4

Hi !

You have to set wxWidgets directories in Search directories/linker in the project settings.

I added

Quote

$(WX_DIR)\lib\gcc_lib$(WX_CFG)

to Build options->Directories->Linker and it's working now, thank you.
