Why my app can't compile if wxWidgets built with disable-debug Topic is solved

Do you have a question about makefiles, a compiler or IDE you are using and need to know how to set it up for wxWidgets or why it doesn't compile but other IDE's do ? Post your questions here.

Why my app can't compile if wxWidgets built with disable-debug

Post by Parduz »

I've made two different folders for wxWidgets, one with debug enabled, and one not, then i configured and make (without install) the widgets.

Here the path and the configure of each one:

with enabled-debug:

Code: Select all

/home/fc/wxWidgets/wxWidgets-3.0.4/build-debug-GTK2-i386/
../configure --disable-shared --enable-debug --with-gtk=2 --with-libtiff=no --with-opengl=no --enable-unicode
make
with disabled-debug

Code: Select all

/home/fc/wxWidgets/wxWidgets-3.0.4/build-GTK2-i386/
../configure --disable-shared --disable-debug --with-gtk=2 --with-libtiff=no --with-opengl=no --enable-unicode
make

With Code::Blocks, for my app i've set two build methods (using GCC 6.3).
The one that link to the debug enabled compiles, the one that links to the debug disabled no, starting from this error

Code: Select all

obj/Debug/src/CommManager.o: in function "wxPostEvent(wxEvtHandler*, wxEvent const&)":
/home/fc/wxWidgets/wxWidgets-3.0.4/include/wx/event.h:3815: undefined reference to "wxTheAssertHandler"
and going on and on with a lot of undefined references to wxOnAssert, wxTrapInAssert, wxTrap, and so on.



Could someone tells me why?




Following are the log of the two compile commands for the two different "versions":

I think you should review the link directories you set in C::B for different targets. And likely the include dirs also.

Well, other than the two differents wx build directories, and the __WXDEBUG__ define, there's no difference in the two g++ calls :?

Re: Why my app can't compile if wxWidgets built with disable-debug

Post by Manolo »

Take a slow look at yourwxBuilDir/samples/minimal/Makefile. It defines a var wx_top_builddir and another top_srcdir = ../../..
top_srcdir is "yourwxMainDir" = /home/fc/wxWidgets/wxWidgets-3.0.4 in your case.

You have two different wx builds (I called 'yourwxBuilDir')
/home/fc/wxWidgets/wxWidgets-3.0.4/build-debug-GTK2-i386/ and /home/fc/wxWidgets/wxWidgets-3.0.4/build-GTK2-i386/

As you can see in the minimal/Makefile not only you must tell the linker where to find the libs (-LyourwxBuilDir/lib), but also it needs two "includes" (-I, i-uppercase flag), one as yourwxMainDir/include, so it can find the wx headers, and one as yourwxBuilDir/ib/wx/include/gtkXXXX, so it can find the "setup.h" used at wx building.

You have to use the proper directories in each of your targets. Seems you have mixed them.
The yourwxMainDir/include dir is the same for all targets. The 'wx_top_builddir' is specific for each target.

Well, i cleaned up my compiler/linker search paths, but in the end what did the trick was adding
wxDEBUG_LEVEL=0
as #define for everything compiled using the --disable-debug build.

Noticed that flag while compiling the minimal sample.

Thanks.
