I have a legacy application that I need to support that uses wxWidgets 2.8. I've successfully built the application in VS 2017 Pro but it fails to link.
It appears like I need to build wxWidgets 2.8 in VS. So far, that has failed. I can get into the specifics later but I just want to know if I'm likely wasting my time.
Is it at all feasible to build wxWidgets 2.8 in VS 2017 - on Windows 10 x64 against the latest Windows SDK?
build wxWidgets 2.8 in Visual Studio 2017 Pro
Re: build wxWidgets 2.8 in Visual Studio 2017 Pro
I tested a 32bit build with VS2017 community and the 8.1 SDK and it worked almost out of the box. Just had one error regarding "include "pbt.h" which could just be commented out.
Use the source, Luke!
Re: build wxWidgets 2.8 in Visual Studio 2017 Pro
Wow! That's great to know.
I also commented out the "pbt.h" line but I'm still getting loads of errors.

Re: build wxWidgets 2.8 in Visual Studio 2017 Pro
I'm using Batch Build and selecting all. It looks like all the 'Universal' configurations are failing because there is no setup.h file.
Do I even need the 'Universal' builds?

Usually you only need two builds, "debug" and "release" or "debug DLL" and "release DLL", depending on whether you want to link wxWidgets as DLLs or statically.
For the record, i used 2.8.12, not 2.8.
Use the source, Luke!
Re: build wxWidgets 2.8 in Visual Studio 2017 Pro
I just wanted to close the loop on this.
I was able to build Debug and Release (DLL and Unicode) without error in the end, and as doublemax suggests, these were all I needed.
