Terminal gets a different version of wxwidgets than IDE's compiler

[coyoteazul]

Hi. I just tried switching from 3.0 to 3.1, but my IDEs seem to not want to cooperate with that change.

When i run wx-config on terminal, or run a program compiled on terminal, I get 3.1.3. But a program compiled on an IDE returns 3.0.4

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
#include <wx/versioninfo.h>
#include <string>
#include <wx/string.h>

int main () {
    std::cout << wxString(wxVERSION_STRING).ToStdString() << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

compiling on terminal

Code: Select all

g++ main.cpp `wx-config --libs --cxxflags` -o main 

result

Code: Select all

wxWidgets 3.1.3

compiling on IDE (example comes from codelite, but the same happens on codeblocks)
C++ compiler options

Code: Select all

$(shell wx-config --libs --cxxflags)

As you can see it seems that on the IDE wx-config points to a different folder than on terminal. Any clue of why this could be happening? and maybe how to solve it?

Look inside the makefile

Hi,

(I presume your terminal is 'clean', and not one where you have previously prepended to its PATH e.g. PATH=/path/to/wx3.1.3/:$PATH. Similarly that you don't have such a line in your ~/.bashrc or similar.)

CodeLite lets you set a particular wx version in several ways:
1) You can point directly at one in your Compiler and your Linker settings. That's not happening here: $(shell wx-config --libs --cxxflags) will get the standard one. (BTW, you don't want --libs in the Compiler settings; they go in the Linker ones.)
2) In your Project Settings:Environment you can set a path to a particular wx build.
3) In the main menu, Settings > Environment Variables, again you can set particular paths. One of mine is
PATH=/usr/lib/ccache/:$PATH
but I could have selected a wx build too.
4) In Project Settings:Customise you can tick 'Enable custom build', after which all mistakes are your fault .

If none of that helps, I suggest you create a new project from one of the templates and see which wx that picks up. If that is still wx3.0.4, then close CodeLite, temporarily rename your ~/.codelite, and restart CodeLite. Everything will then be default.

Regards,

David
