Codelite and wxWidgets

[Rohit Agarwal]

Codelite comes with wxWidgets in its installation.
I did a clean install on Ubuntu 22.04 based on CodeLite.org install docs.
When I create a workspace and a default project,
I get errors like wx/wxprec.h and wx/settings.h not found.
Any possible explanations?

Hi,

Codelite comes with wxWidgets in its installation.

True: its installation contains the wx runtime libs that CodeLite needs to, er, run.

Any possible explanations?

Presumably you don't have an appropriate wx install; or, you do but your project hasn't been told where it lives.

CodeLite's wx libs are contained in (probably) /usr/lib/codelite/. But there isn't a CodeLite equivalent of /usr/include/wx*, which is where the wx headers are normally installed.

TL;DR: you need to install your distro's wx packages, including the -dev ones; or the unofficial wx3.2.0 packages, or build your own.

Regards,

David

Thanks, that worked.

I installed the unofficial 3.2.0 wxWidgets packages at that link.
This is a useful resource.
