Compilation with local header

[flopasi]

Hello,

I successfully compiled wxwidget statically.
I can use it in any project if I include and link it from where it has been compiled.

I can also use it if I move the static libraries around and change the linker path accordingly.

HOWEVER I can't manage to move (put in my source code) the wx include header
Using eclipse and those compiler options :

Code: Select all

-c -fmessage-length=0 -I/home/florian/workspace/lib/wxWidgets-3.0.3/gtk-build/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-static-3.0 -I/home/florian/workspace/lib/wxWidgets-3.0.3/include -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D__WXGTK__ -pthread

It works fine

But if the header are in my source code (copy and paste the two dirs) , and compiler options are :

Code: Select all

-c -fmessage-length=0 -I"${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/lib/wx/lib/x64_linux/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-static-3.0}" -I"${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/lib/wx/include}" -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D__WXGTK__ -pthread

That doesn't work, I get some

wxMutex’ does not name a type

and other classes undefined.

This doesn't make any sense to me as the include order and files are the exact same as well as the the compiler options order.

What am I missing ?

Hi,

Your "${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/lib/wx/lib/x64_linux/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-static-3.0}" looks weird, but anyway:

The standard method of getting its cxxflags and libs data from your target wx build is to use the wx-config script. Since you have (sensibly) created a 'local' wx build, the easiest way is to do things like:

Code: Select all

g++ foo.cpp bar.cpp $(/full/path/to/wx/build-dir/wx-config --libs --cxxflags) -o test

(if you do /full/path/to/wx/build-dir/wx-config in a terminal you'll see the output that you'd get.)

Alternatively, instead of using the full path each time you can prepend it to the PATH in the current terminal.

Regards,

David
