Ubuntu can't link wxStyledTextCtrl Topic is solved

[rocrail]

Hi,

I want to use the wxStyledTextCtrl for viewing and modifying XML.
Compile and Link under macOS with wxWidgets 3.1.3 is OK and works perfectly.

But all Linux distributions compile, but do not link because the wxStyledTextCtrl is unresolved. (wxWidgets 3.0.4)

Any suggestions?

Hi,
stc is usually compiled as a different library and named appropriately (something like libwx*stc).
Try browsing the appropriate repository and install the appropriate binary.

Thank you.

Hi,

How do you link? What is your wx-config linker line?

I ask because you're likely tripping over this change.

Regards,

David

Hi David,

I add the stc in the libs line:

Code: Select all

--libs core,base,aui,stc

Now it compiles under Linux, but under Windows this seems not to do the trick.

Code: Select all

a ../winbin/librocutils.a `/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/wx-config --libs core,base,aui,stc` -static-libgcc -static  -liphlpapi -lmpr -lmswsock -lws2_32 -ladvapi32

Hi,
What did you use under Windows to compile the library? With what options?

Thank you.

Hi,

this is the configure line:

Code: Select all

../configure --prefix=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32 --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --with-msw --enable-unicode --enable-mslu --disable-shared --enable-graphics_ctx --enable-monolithic

Build the "stc" sample and check its linker command.

Under Windows, but using Visual Studio, i see two libraries related to stc:
wxmsw31ud_stc.lib and wxscintilla.lib

I would suspect you're missing the second one. (the names will be different when using mingw though).

[rocrail]

I did add to the configure line --enable-stc
The wx build is running...

[rocrail]

I have included stc in the --libs, but still no luck:

Code: Select all

... `/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/wx-config --libs core,base,aui,stc` -static-libgcc -static  -liphlpapi -lmpr -lmswsock -lws2_32 -ladvapi32

The wx Build does list up stc:

Code: Select all

 Available libraries in this build are:
  xrc webview stc richtext ribbon propgrid aui gl html qa adv core xml net base

The generated wx libraries:

Any help is very appreciated.

[rocrail]

the --libs all does not show stc:

Code: Select all

It seems this configure parameter
--enable-mslu
does screw up things...

When linking statically, you also need to include the scintilla library (wxscintilla-3.0-x86_64-w64-mingw32.a based on the picture you posted above).

Yes, that did work.
I will try the master branch...

[ONEEYEMAN]

Hi,
Also, --enable-monolithic might be the culprit...

Why do you need this one?

Thank you.

[rocrail]

I switch for win32/64 to the master branch 3.1.3.
Without changing anything in the build process the scintilla library is included automatically.
BTW: Both win32 and win64 are cross compiled on an RPi with Raspbian and mingw.
