Configuring wxWindows for usage with 1586-mingw32 compiler

[chakkaradeepcc]

hi all,

i am using wxWindows in Linux Platform. I downloaded the source code and just did ,
"./configure && make && make install"

but now i think i have to configure separately for producing executables using i586-mingw32 compiler...is it so?...i searched in the net and got this as the command....

"./configure --prefix=/usr/local/i386-mingw32 --host=i386-mingw32 --target=i386-mingw32 --with-msw --your_optional_switches"

when i run this,it gives this error,
"checking for i586-mingw32-gcc... i586-mingw32-gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details."

so what is this error and how to rectify this?

with regards,

hi all,

i rectified the error, the configure statement was wrong for my system..that is am using i586-mingw32msvc-gcc compiler...so the correct configure statement i used is,

"./configure --prefix=/usr/local/i586-mingw32msvc --host=i586-mingw32msvc --target=i586-mingw32msvc --with-msw "

hi all,

i installed wxWindows with the command in previous post....now i want to compile wxWindows to produce ".exe" as output file.Am using kdevelop as editor...and then i have added CXX=i586-mingw32-msvc-gcc as extra flags....while producing configure file,kdevelop checks for availability for producing exe files and it does shows yes with "a.exe"...

the problem is when i 'make' , the following error is thrown..
