Compiling a privateFont Application with cmake

[OBueckert]

Hello,
I am trying to build a cross platform text editor with wxWidgets. I used cmake to statically compile wxWidgets and use cmake to compile my own application. I am using the wxPrivateFont system to integrate custom fonts. I have followed the "CMake Overview" tutorial for instruction. I build wxWidgets using:

Code: Select all

cmake ~/CLionProjects/Radon/dep/wxWidgets -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/CLionProjects/Radon/dep/wxWidgets-build -DwxBUILD_SHARED=OFF

and

Code: Select all

cmake --build . --target install

My CMakeLists.txt file is pretty much:

Code: Select all

find_package(wxWidgets 3.1 COMPONENTS core base richtext adv html xml REQUIRED)

include(${wxWidgets_USE_FILE})

set(SRC_FILES
        src/Main.cpp
        src/App.cpp
        src/Main.h
        src/App.h
        )

# Define the build target for the executable
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} ${SRC_FILES})
# Link required libraries to the executable
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${wxWidgets_LIBRARIES})

Everything seems to work fine until I try to compile my application. I get "error: ‘AddPrivateFont’ is not a member of ‘wxFont’".

I tried adding all wxWidgets components but that doesn't change anything. I've been stuck here for a few months now.

Platform, wxWidgets version?

According to the docs, you need at least wx 3.1.1 for this method. If that requirement is met, wxUSE_PRIVATE_FONTS seems to be 0 when building your application. Try to find out why.

Maybe try building wxWidgets using the provided make files instead of using cmake.

I added the -DwxUSE_PRIVATE_FONTS=ON parameter to the wxWidgets build and rebuilt wxWidgets. My application now compiles without errors. Thank you very much for the help.
