link error using wxwidgets in static for my own lib

[Laurent Berger]

Hi,

I can compile link and run my project using my own lib using wxwidgets dll libs. Using static libs I have got 1 error and three warnings :

Code: Select all

My project https://github.com/LaurentBerger/wxNano ... ter/sampleuse a lib https://github.com/LaurentBerger/wxNanowhich use wxwidgets. I use cmake to build wxnanolib and cmake to build wxnanosample . compile flags are in both configuration (dll or static) WXUSINGDLL;__WXMSW__ for exe and lib

What's wrong in my configuration ?

windows 10 VS 2017 wxwidgets github master
I use this flags

You likely used the wrong defines and/or flags to build wxNano or wxNano is poorly written.

Edit: Using WXUSINGDLL means you are expected to link to the wxWidgets DLLs.

Edit3: I am trying to build the wxNano code using MSys2 GCC 8 to confirm the code is good using OpenCV 3.4.2 and wxWidgets 3.1.x
To confirm the CMake files are good is not sometime I can do.

Only needed one code fix. main returns an int.

Edit: Downloading CMake for windows to see if it will create a good CB project to see if the cmake is close to correct.

I have not figured out how to build the sample code using an cmake created CB project.

thanks for all test. What is your platform linux or windows ? (MSys2 GCC 8=windows ?)

There is a problem with flag WXUSINGDLL in wxNanoSample : it must be used only when static build is needed. I tried to insert in cmakelists.txt but it is not tested yet

[stahta01]

I tested on Windows 7 64 bit; MSys2 is a development environment that works a little like Unix/Linux.
Compiler was GCC (Rev1, Built by MSYS2 project) 8.2.0

WXUSINGDLL means you are using the wxWidgets DLLs.
