Bringing up wxWidgets to work with Code::Blocks Topic is solved

[CrazyK]

Hi @ all,

maybe some of you can help me. I try to get wxWidgets work with code::blocks or the other way around. Now I have some problems compiling a minimal code.

First some facts:
Code::Blocks Studio 1 RC2
wxWidgets 2.6.3 compiled as monolithic, unicode using msys and configure
MinGW

I think the main problem is setting up the build-options. At the moment I set up the following:
Under build options:

other options:

Code: Select all

-mthreads
-Wundef
-wno-ctor-dtor-privacy
-fno-strict-aliasing

defines:

Code: Select all

__GNUWIN32__
__WXMSW__
WXUSINGDLL
wxUSE_UNICODE
USE_PCH

link libraries:

Code: Select all

wxmsw26u
mwindows

other linker options:

Code: Select all

-mthreads -Wl -lrpcrt4 -loleaut32 -lole32 -luuid -lwinspool -lwinmm -lshell32 -lcomctl32 -lcomdlg32 -lctl3d32 -ladvapi32 -lwsock32 -lgdi32

compiler directories:

Code: Select all

C:\wxWidgets-2.6.3\include
C:\wxWidgets-2.6.3\contrib\include
C:\wxWidgets-2.6.3\include\wx\msw
C:\wxWidgets-2.6.3\lib\wx\include\msw-unicode-release-2.6

linker directories:

Code: Select all

C:\wxWidgets-2.6.3\lib

resource compiler directories

Code: Select all

C:\wxWidgets-2.6.3\include

I think the Problem is, that I don't understand the logik behind this settings. Maybe somebody can tell me or post a link where I can learn it.

The compiler output trying to compile the file is:

Code: Select all

Uhm, I'm not an expert, but the message "m_serviceName undeclared" seems to indicate that the wxWidgets-2.6.3/include/wx/msw/dde.h has some problem.

I don't have the source code at hand, but try to take a look at lines 103 and 111 in dde.h and see if you can figure out what went wrong.


your main.cpp has some problem at line 24 and 28, which a wxString() constructor may be able to solve.


A quick google hints that the option -wno-ctor-dtor-privacy should have a capital W: -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy

Are you trying to compile the "minimal" sample delivered with wxWidgets sources?
You can also try to compile the other samples, and base your work on the one matching what you want to do.

[Peer Sommerlund]

Your compiler directories should not include C:\wxWidgets-2.6.3\include\wx\msw - these files are automatically used when you include C:\wxWidgets-2.6.3\include and define __WXMSW__

Code::Blocks Studio 1 RC2

Delete RC2 and get the nightly builds http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?board=20.0.

Nightlies are enormously more advanced than RC2 (which dates oct 25, 2005) and are most times rock solid.

Bye!!!!

Hi.. thanks very much for help..

now I solved the Problem.. I compiled wxWidgets again. This time without using MSYS but instead I used ming32-make and build a MONOLITHIC dll.
With this, I don't have any problems using the Code::Blocks - template wxWidgets. All I have to do is to change the custom variable WX_DIR.

Thanks again for help.
