cannot find -lwxmsw31ud, it isn't there

[Indigo]

Hi Guys.

I have tried for many hours to get wxWidgets to work in Codeblocks on Windows. I have tried building it and using the command line to build and run the examples in the samples folder successfully.

My problem is with codeblocks. No matter how I install wxWidgets and setup codeblocks I get the error

Code: Select all

-------------- Build: Debug in MyGui1 (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler)---------------

Always missing -lwxmsw31ud. This seems to be because the libwxmsw31ud.a doesn't exist. But why then, does it always try to look for it?

Building it like this works for running the samples

Code: Select all

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc clean
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug SHARED=0 MONOLITHIC=0 UNICODE=1

Most recently I have followed the tutorial here to run wxWidgets with prebuilt binaries and followed the steps perfectly. This resulted in the build log seen above.

I have been searching the forum and internet extensively and have spent many hours on this, I am a little out of my depth here. Please help me get this working.

Hi,
It seems that you built both static and dynamic version for wxWidgets and then mix them up inside the C::B.
Please remove the C::B project and start all over from the New Project wizard.

Make sure that the options you select in C::B match exactly the options you built the library with.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Thank you. I have made a little progress, as I have found new errors.

Firstly, I rebuilt wxWidgets using the following settings.

Code: Select all

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc clean
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug SHARED=0 MONOLITHIC=0 UNICODE=1

Then I created a new project in codeblocks, selected all the libraries that were present in the library folder and renamed them to include a letter d since it is a debug build. Then when I try to build it the following log is created.

This seems very similar to this guys problem: viewtopic.php?t=28334

His solution was to make sure a "Use wxWidgets DLL" box is checked. I'm assuming this is the option that is available when the project is created. In the build above this option was selected. I was curious to see what it looked like with everything the same except that box unchecked when the project is created. The following errors were found:

Still a lot, but different to the first set. What can I try next?

Hi,
You are building tghe library as:

Code: Select all

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug SHARED=0 MONOLITHIC=0 UNICODE=1

which means when you create a project inside C::B, you should:

1. Uncheck "Use wxWidgets DLL", since you turn off "SHARED" option.
2. Uncheck "Use Monolithic build", since you turn off "MONOLITHIC" option.
3. Check "Use debug version of the library", since you use debug build of wxWidgets.

When you do all this you won't have to rename anything - you will be able to just compile you project.
If you need to do anything extra, besides those 3 steps - you are wrong and should start over.

One more time - the project settings inside C::B has to match build settings of the wxWidgets. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

Thank you.

dbgrid and odbc existed in wx2.8.x, but were removed, because they were old and unmaintained. There is no equivalent in wx3.x. If you don't need them, just remove them from the list of linked libraries.

But if you're trying to build an existing project based on wx2.8.x that requires them, you can't use wx3.x and have to stick with 2.8.12.

The "qa" lib (wxmsw31ud_qa) contains wxDebugReport that still exists in wx3.1, so it should be there.
