Unresolved external?

Do you have a question about makefiles, a compiler or IDE you are using and need to know how to set it up for wxWidgets or why it doesn't compile but other IDE's do ? Post your questions here.

This is IDE related, so it would REALLY help if you mention:
- Platform
- wx version
- IDE

Or else people will not reply ;-)

It is tipically a link problem.
Have you link all needed library ? Have you defined all needed preprocessor definition ?

Your project file is missing windows libraries to link against. Just look up the function names on MSDN and it will tell you what libraries you need.
