Hello,
I have created a wxWidgets projct using C::B, I now need a configure or any easy build system script for it to make it possible to build without the need of the C::B IDE.
What is the best and easy way to do it?
Thank you.
How to create a configure script?

The best way is to use make but it's not easy. (That's why IDEs were invented. )tomay3000 wrote:Hello,

Re: How to create a configure script?
It seems CMake is still the uncrowned leader, at least when it comes to supporting various OSes, compilers, and IDEs. It has built-in support for wxWidgets.
wxWidgets itself also includes CMake support for building the library, samples, and tools.

Hi,
Using CMake for building the library itself is still unofficial way. Official (and supported) way is to use "configure + make".
I'd definitely prefer to use IDE - Anjuta comes to mind for *nix. It will generate everything for you.

CMake seems interesting, it has a GUI.

Re: How to create a configure script?
It is probably clear, but just to make sure. CMake's GUI (cmake-gui.exe) is used to generate the project files (makefiles and GUI projects) from the CMake script, i.e., it is not for creating the CMakefiles themselves. AFAIK, those have to be generally created by hand.tomay3000 wrote:CMake seems interesting, it has a GUI.
