Porting a wxWidgets project from Linux to Windows

[konze]

Hi,

I wrote a little wxWidgets program for a school project under Linux. But my school uses only Windows XP on their computers an my teacher wants that I compile the project under Windows XP. Unfortunately I get an error while I compile the program. Which preference should I set to compile a program (which is written under Linux) under Windows XP.

Best regards,

konze

I suggest using the wizard to create a wxWidgets project, look how it is done there, or use it as stub for your linux project (after removing the cretaed files from th e project).

The problem is I have the Code on my USB-stick and if I want to compile the Code I get the following error-message:

You should add wx's header and lib search path to cb.

You either need scripting or (much more easy) different targets for linux and windows.
In this case you can set the appropriate options for each platform and easily share the same project-file for both platforms.

May you give me an example, because I'm new on this environment?

"wxSmith - Aui" in the Code::Blocks Contrib Workspace SVN trunk.

Note: [Under 10.05 CB] You need to change the project properties "Build Targets" "Platforms" to all to see how if works under Windows.
Because you can NOT see the Linux "Build Options" if Windows is not allowed to run the target.
