It means that the function was deprecated and should not be used in new code. Usually there is at least an alternative to deprecated API. Do you call that function anywhere in your code or how did you get the warning?

Use wxSizer derived classes for automatic layout and resize.

No.
Direct interaction with the UI is not permitted from secondary threads. There are other mechanisms for this, see https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.1/overview ... read_notes

The docs of wxString do say Standard std::string using implicit wxString::wxString(const std::string&) constructor. Notice that this constructor supposes that the string contains data in the current locale encoding, use FromUTF8() or the constructor taking wxMBConv if this is not the case. So try so...

Having tried placing normal buttons on the window at design time, it appears Tab does nothing unless the buttons are placed on a wxPanel. By "window" there you probably mean wxFrame or wxDialog. Either way, just place a wxPanel on whatever "window" you are using, then place the buttons on the wxPan...

Does this have anything to do with wxWidgets?

is this a bug? It's most likely a documentation issue. All samples attach menu bar after adding menus to it, and SetMenuBar() docs do say "Under Windows, [...] be sure to initialize data members properly before calling SetMenuBar()" which is probably referring to exactly this issue, although in a r...

I keep getting the error

There is no error shown

No error shown, but then how do you get it?

Everything looks fine with your code. The error must be coming from somewhere else. You should provide more information about an error, like the file and line number where it occurred.
Or even better: debug it yourself, by removing pieces of code one by one until it compiles.

I assume I have to draw text separately from the actual textbox (DrawTextCtrl then DrawText)? AFAIU no, it should be as simple as setting up a native control, then use it as the first argument in the corresponding DrawXXX() method, i.e. for a text control use it from a paint event handler with wxRe...

You should better describe what you are trying to achieve. How exactly would you use such a window? Should it be transparent only in relation with its wx- parent or with the desktop and any other window outside your program? By the contents of the links you posted I get that you want transparency bo...

First of all, you should really trim down your code to the minimum when asking such questions. What you can easily remove are the calls that affect background, window style and creating the numerous buttons. Another inconvenient in your code is the confusing parameter names passed to your functions ...

I'm getting a bit lost in this and probably completely misunderstanding things, so sorry in advance if I'm way off track. From what I understand, if you get a successful compile of wxW libs, you then try to build Audacity, but if the latter fails then you restart with compiling the former with [slig...

Why not use regular build instructions for Linux? i.e. - get sources from https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets - follow instructions from https://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/plat_gtk_install.html Aside from that, IIRC functions taking wchar_t are not available under Android, so you might need to use ...

Was there a question too, that I'm missing? Or you just felt like sharing an incomplete piece of code?
