Building wxWidgets 3.0.2 (Windows, Cygwin)

[PrStirling]

Hello,


I am trying to build wxWidgets 3.0.2 (from Windows sources), and I have a fatal error during the compilation, the file "wx/setup.h" may be missing:

Code: Select all

In file included from ../include/wx/defs.h:27:0,
                 from ../include/wx/wxprec.h:12,
                 from ../src/common/any.cpp:12:
../include/wx/platform.h:183:22: fatal error: wx/setup.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Makefile:28679 : the recipe for target « basedll_any.o » failed
make: *** [basedll_any.o] Error 1

Before that, I used the configure file:

Code: Select all

/cygdrive/d/Libraries/wxWidgets-3.0.2/build-debug
$ ../configure --enable-debug

which returned :

Code: Select all

Configured wxWidgets 3.0.2 for `x86_64-unknown-cygwin'

I have Windows 7 (64-bit) and Cygwin (with MinGW64-x86_64 and make). I didn't find the "wx/setup.h" file into the include directory, and I think that the compiler should not look for it. But it did…


Do you have any idea about that ?

When I build wxWidgets for gcc in windows...I use Strawberry perl's version of gcc (you will missing mingw32-make but is on the web) or download TDM-gcc version. After that you use the old form like:

Code: Select all

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc UNICODE=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=0 BUILD=release CXXFLAGS="-std=gnu++11 -fno-keep-inline-dllexport -Wno-deprecated-declarations"

Without msys or cygwin, hope my suggestion helps you.

Under Cygwin as under Linux, it is normal to use wx-config script/command to find the header locations and other stuff.

wx-config --cflags
wx-config --libs
wx-config --list

I think is the correct syntax of the command.

Hi,
My steps to build wxWidgets in Msys way is similar to Cygwin did:

Any reason you use Cygwin? Is Linux emulation a goal?
If no go for MinGW
