link error (2.8 -> 2.9)

Post by fregolo »

Hello,

My company developed an application with wxWidgets (2.8.7).
Now, we have some issue about graphical behaviour (on Vista).

I'm trying to migrate our application with wxWigdets 2.9.0


Compilation : no issue
Link : issue
For example :
LocalColour.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall wxString::wxString(unsigned short const *)" (__imp_??0wxString@@QAE@PBG@Z)
I have no direct reference to wxString in LocalColour.cpp ou .h

I looked at wxbaseXXu.lib
In 2.8 :

Code: Select all

wxString::wxString(unsigned short const *)
In 2.9

Code: Select all

wxString::wxString(wchar_t const *)
I removed all reference to 2.8.7
I do not know why the linker try to link the 2.8.7 prototype.

Thanks for your help.

There could be number of solutions. I would recommend to double check the include directories of your project (-I...) and library paths(-LIBPATHS) (or if this is possible, to rename old wx directory). Of course, rebuild new wx, rebuild whole project with new wx.
Everything requires a line of code.

Hi,

so the main reason for changing the wx version is the drawing problem in vista? Have you try 2.8.10? Maybe the drawing problem still exists under 2.9.0? Have you tried to fix the drawing issue?

Are you sure you cleaned your project files ? If the includes path are OK, I suppose that some .o files were compiled vs 2.8.x version of wxWidgets.

Thanks for your answers.

Debster, I didn't try the 2.8.10. Currently, I cannot ask to the other questions.

I cleaned my project and I replaced all include and lib references (I renamed the directory 2.8.7 to avoid this king of issues). I manually cleaned the build directory.

Maybe, I'll try the 2.8.10 version.

The first developers of this project used wxWidgets 2.8.7 and 2.9 for property grid. I wanted to migrate all components in the same version.
