I think you do not want "good" and "simple".
Maybe you want a quick and easy RAD tool.

No.

Copy the makefile without editing it will not work.

So, using the makefile with edits is needed.

Where you copy it depends on what you want to do.

The more you change the relative location of the Makefile the more you will need to edit it.

I installed and build wxWidgets 3.1.3 (using these instructions: https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Compiling_wxWidgets_using_the_command-line_%28Terminal%29#Download_and_Install_wxWidgets ). The samples work. I would like to test if my app (developed on Windows) works on mac. The plan was to copy a makefi...

If you post the line number/file of the errors I could see if there is know fixes!

These repos has fixes that might match up with your errors.

You might try compiling with all the variations of Unicode options.
Only one of the above 3 options at a time in configure.

Might want to try downgrading GCC if that can be done.

Tim S.

The last posted file [WX3.1.3config.txt] implied issues with xlocale I would try configure with it disables and see if the build goes farther.

Tim S.

Please post a simple C++ file and the build command used that files to work?
Also, post the build error and state whether the command crashes without error?

Edit: I suggest creating an CB Project that uses one of the wxWidgets samples and upload the CB project to here for me to test.

Tim S.

What command did you use to build wxWidgets?

Tim S.

You are running the commands under the "open_distro_window.bat" command window, correct?

Please give detail info about your compiler and I will see if I can duplicate the issue. I am guessing some header is causing the issue. gcc --version gcc (MinGW.org GCC-8.2.0-5) 8.2.0 Above is the GCC 8.2.0 I currently have installed; it is an 32 bit Compiler. I do not think using wx PCH works very...

How is it possible that an empty (default) header file creates such a large compiled file?

I do NOT consider all of the files in "wx/wx.h" to be a small/empty PCH header.

Tim S.

Your makefile can not find a standard compiler header; therefore the compiler/toolchain setting are wrong! Edit: I would first look inside the makefile before blaming Code::Blocks. Next, run the makefile from the command line to be sure it works. Then, the problem likely would be inside Code::Blocks...

This is not an wxWidgets problem; this is a toolchain not being configured correctly.
