Thanks benedicte, I finally got it to work by compiling wxStyledTextCtrl as a shared library. (libxslt and wxStyledTextCtrl are the only libraries that pose this problem for my project.) I'm happy to use the shared libraries for now and I'm delighted to have my whole application compile under Linux ...

I get a linker error from /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2u_stc-2.6.a.

In function wxStyledTextCtrl::OnScroll: undefined reference to wxScrollBar::ms_classInfo.

Further errors point to stc.cpp.

What is going wrong? How can I fix it?

Thanks, I'll have another look...

You could try the following to apply syntax colouring (the example is for XML, but you could use any lexer here): SetLexer(wxSTC_LEX_XML); StyleSetForeground(wxSTC_STYLE_DEFAULT, *wxBLACK); StyleSetBackground(wxSTC_STYLE_DEFAULT, *wxWHITE); StyleClearAll(); StyleSetForeground(wxSTC_H_TAG, *wxBLUE); ...

How do I go about building contrib/stc in Fedora Core 5? wxW compiles without problems, but what is the best way of building the contrib classes?

My current wxW build is configured as follows:

Is anyone maintaining wxCoolBar? I know a lot of people are migrating to wxAUI and others, but so far I haven't seen anything that beats the look and feel of native rebar controls on MSW. The issue is that Martin's excellent rebar wrapper feels incomplete: for example, function keys call up debug me...

That's very helpful. Thanks!

I'd like to compile my Win32 wxWidgets app on Linux and I was wondering how best to go about this. I'm using wxW 2.61 Unicode with Dev-C++/MinGW and I'd like to use the same source files for both compiles. Should I install Linux on a separate partition? Would Ubuntu work? How difficult is it to move...

UTF-8 displays fine. Just make sure you specify in the header. (The file I tested also has an XML declaration with encoding="UTF-8" but I don't know if wxHtmlWindow needs this.)

I think you could load the file into memory first, remove the BOM if present and call SetPage instead of LoadPage.

Glad to hear it's fixed. I'm using 2.61 Unicode at the moment.

It's even worse if Firefox is your default browser. On my computer (runningWin XP) the command does nothing at all. I had to default to IE via OLE automation to get around this. I hope wxLaunchDefaultBrowser works on other platforms...

The libxml2 wrapper is available at http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/components/wxxml2/.

It should do everything you need.

I wouldn't recommend regex parsing. Only a compliant parser can do this reliably. If your input file is well-formed XHTML, you can use any parser you wish. Expat is a good choice (I think there are existing wrappers for wxW; alternatively you could just call the Expat library itself). If you're work...

If you need fixed positions, wxHtmlEasyPrinting won't be suitable. I use it for text, where HTML's ability to lay out paragraphs is helpful (and setting up headers only takes a couple of seconds). There's no need to limit the content to HTML. I just pour my content into a skeletal HTML doc and repla...
