Using wxApp::SetAppName() helped set the title of the error window, thanks. How about the GTK message, is there a way to suppress it or avoid it? It only pops up when displaying the error window. Edit: I tried using wxMessageBox instead of wxLogError, and i'm still seeing the gtk message. Regards, K...

I'm using wxLogError() to display the message, after checking if another instance is already running:

Thank you, it worked! I used the following code: { wxLogNull logNo; wxChecker = new wxSingleInstanceChecker(_T("PomiarWiazki")); } Two more things - i'm seeing the following message in the console: Gtk-Message: 10:43:55.126: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged. Is this s...

Hello, I'm using wxSingleInstanceChecker to ensure that only one instance of my application is running. It works fine, however sometimes I see a message stating "Deleted stale lock file 'home/.../AppName' ". I know that this message only appears when the app is terminated indirectly (e.g. by killing...

Thank you, I added const to the .xpm file variable, and also the wxICON macro in my code, and now everything works fine - no more warnings or errors.

Actually, even though the icon is now working, I'm still seeing tons of warnings and errors when building the project: The warnings disappear after compilation: 15:56:23 **** Build of configuration Debug for project PomiarWiazki_wxWidgets_Linux **** make all Building file: ../cApp.cpp Invoking: GCC ...

Thank you. I went into the xpm file and manually changed the variable name to icon_xpm. Now it works fine. And just for the record: This will only set the icon you see inside your application. This will not change the icon of the executable when seen on the desktop For that I will need a .desktop fi...

I've successfully setup icons for my app in Windows, using a resource file and a .ico file. Now i'd like to setup an icon for my app in Linux Mint, where (as I understand) resource files don't exist. I found a post that recommends using a .xpm file: https://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?t=13983...

I managed to solve the issues using the following guide:

Now Eclipse correctly recognizes all wxWidgets symbols.

After installing different versions of wxWidgets, as well as Code::Blocks, running make install , and then make uninstall several times, and installing/uninstalling several packages, I wanted to start from scratch, since things simply didn't want to work. I messed something up, somewhere. So I had t...

After successfully using wxWidgets with Code::Blocks on Linux Mint, I'm trying to setup my environment in Eclipse (I prefer to use that IDE). I've configured Eclipse according to the following instructions: https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Eclipse My application runs fine, but what's weird is that I'm see...

Thank you. Also, for any people having issues with conflicting versions of wxWidgets installed on their system, the following instructions helped me a lot: http://wiki.amule.org/wiki/How_to_uninstall_wxWidgets The -rm commands helped me make sure that no older versions are present on my system; whic...

Yes, I believe they were back ticks, since I copied them directly from the browser. For some reason they just didn't want to work.

Thank you again for your help. I reinstalled wxWidgets 3.1.2, making sure I'm installing it into the gtk-build directory. I then copied the wx-config commands from the terminal directly into the compiler and linker flags - instead of using 'wx-config --cxxflags', for example. The application now wor...

Out of curiosity - what was the exact configure line you used? I followed the instructions at: https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Compiling_and_getting_started. I used ../configure --enable-unicode --enable-debug with admin privileges and it installed without problems. I then tested it with the ./minimal s...
