wxWebView::New and undefined reference to wxAutomationObject Topic is solved

[szmitek]

I have problem with compiling project with creating wxWebView object (wxWebView::New). I receive errors "undefined reference" to methods of wxAutomationObject. My header file:

Code: Select all

(...)
#include <wx/spinctrl.h>
#include <wx/grid.h>
#include <wx/xrc/xmlres.h>
#include <wx/numformatter.h>
#include <wx/dataview.h>
#include <wx/webview.h>
(...)
class PlayerWindow: public wxFrame
{
    private:
(...)
wxWebView *Balance;
(...)
};

My CPP file with use of wxWebView::New:

Code: Select all

#include "wx_pch.h"

    Balance = wxWebView::New(this, wxID_ANY);
    resource->AttachUnknownControl(_T("Balance"), Balance);

    SetIcon(wxICON(aaaa));

I compile my program in Code::Blocks 13.12 in Windows 8.1 (IE11) using latest standalone 32bit TDM-GCC 4.8.1 compiler and wxWidgets 3.0.2. I have compiled wxWidgets myself with 32bit TDM-GCC 4.8.1 using commands:

Code: Select all

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc SHARED=0 UNICODE=1 BUILD=release
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc SHARED=0 UNICODE=1 BUILD=debug

CodeBlocks show that wxUSE_WEBVIEW and wxUSE_WEBVIEW_IE are set to 1.

How to resolve this problem with undefined reference to wxAutomationObject methods? How to create wxWebView object and compile program? What should I change? Could you help me?

[doublemax]

I don't use MingW, so i'm not 100% sure about this:

Try changing the order of the libraries, so that wxmsw30ud_webview comes before wxmsw30ud_core (which is the one that contains wxAutomationObject)

[faradayent]

Changing the order worked for me. Thanks!
