Title: cygwin wx-config
Post by: manteez on January 19, 2008, 04:01:56 am

Hello,

I'm new in wxWidget and code::block. I have tried wxDevCPP but I think code::block is better.

I have a problem when I want to use cygwin compiler. I can't use minGW because I have a library that should be installed under cygwin.

This problem occurs when I compile wxWidget template. It says

C:/cygwin/usr/local/include/wx-2.8/wx/defs.h:42:13: #error "No Target! You should use wx-config program for compilation flags!"

I have tried to include `wx-config --cflags` in compiler settings and `wx-config --libs` in linker settings but it didn't work.

However, this is my output of compiler logging....

g++.exe -Wall  -g  -D__WXDEBUG__     -IC:/cygwin/usr/local/lib/wx/include/msw-ansi-debug-static-2.8 -IC:/cygwin/usr/local/include/wx-2.8 -IC:/cygwin/usr/include  -c "C:/bluedee's inventory/Programming/script/TesEmpty/Try2DMain.cpp" -o obj/Debug/Try2DMain.o

You can see that wx-config is not included. How to set the compiler in code::block to include wx-config?

I tried to compile my project under cygwin shell and it works.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I rather had the same problem here (gcc on Ubuntu) and found the following solution:

• go to the buildsettings/Compiler settings/others Options
• copy the content (beginning with 'wx-config ) to the console and execute this
• replace the command with the result from the console

do the same with the linker settings (buildsettings/Linker settings/others linker Options

I dont know if this is the recommend way but it works for me.

As windows shell does not support backticks, codeblocks expands them itself on that platform.

does this means that this what I've done by hand should be done automaticly?

Yes.

Is this a bug that has to be fixed in the future or do I have to change something in my system?

I don't get it. I told you what is the current behavior. If this doesn't work for you, post a sample project illustrating the problem.
As far as I 'm aware, the current implementation works as advertised. And I *do* use backticks in project settings daily.
