How to compile the wxwidgets for debug and release mode..???

[idhan]

Hi,

I am using codeblocks and mingw.
I have compile wxwidgets 2.6.2 using this guide:
- http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php ... etup_Guide
and it compile without problem

After that... I have open a new project wxWidgets.. the minimal example and it compile without error or warning and run

Now..my problem is that on "Build target" I only have the option "all" and I dont have any option for "Debug" or "Release" mode... so..my cuestion are:

1- According to the Guide the compile process is using this command line:
make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0

Where is define the debug mode for this compilation?
Do I need to compile it again with different parameters??? if the answer is yes, which ones???

2- I have change the file "setup.0" on wxwidgets to use opengl, so the flag to create "glCanvas" is activated.. it is that ok? or do I need to do something else???

3- I have a application runing under MVC++ Profesional edition 2005, this application also use wxwidgets. So far in my debug and release compile configuration I have include the libraries:

glut32.lib wxmsw26d_gl.lib opengl32.lib glu32.lib wxmsw26d_core.lib wxbase26d.lib wxtiffd.lib wxjpegd.lib wxpngd.lib wxzlibd.lib wxregexd.lib wxexpatd.lib winmm.lib comctl32.lib rpcrt4.lib wsock32.lib oleacc.lib odbc32.lib wxmsw26d_adv.lib

of course for debug and release mode, but under Mingw I get only *.a files, how this work for debug and release mode??? Also the compile process of wxwidgets with MVC++ produce many files *.lib but Mingw only y few *.a, it is that ok?? or I did something wrong????

4- The last one , any manual to understand how the compile parameters work for "Make" ???

thanks for you help...

use

for ANSI release

Code: Select all

make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0

for ANSI debug

Code: Select all

make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=debug UNICODE=0

for unicode release

Code: Select all

make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1

for unicode debug

Code: Select all

make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=debug UNICODE=1

if you want to build CodeBlocks itself from the svn sources, you need the monolithic shared unicode wx-library, MingW gcc 3.4 and for debugging the gdb 6.3-2 debugger.

in most cases, it is sufficient to have the release version of wxWidgtes, you can generate debug-information for your code also when using a wx-release library, and you can debug your application without problems.

of course for debug and release mode, but under Mingw I get only *.a files, how this work for debug and release mode??? Also the compile process of wxwidgets with MVC++ produce many files *.lib but Mingw only y few *.a, it is that ok?? or I did something wrong????

everything ok,
as long as you don't want to debug the library itself, you can use the release libraries and when you give the compiler-option -g in order to produce debug information, you can debug your code, but you can't (and probably wont) trace into the library's source code (for this purpose you would need a debug library)

its already on your harddrive

thanks for answer my question

but still I have one... under MVC++ I use the two type of libraries realse and debug, that means for example wxmsw26_gl.lib for release mode and wxmsw26d_gl.lib for debug mode (notice the "d") and if I do not so then doesn't work... I get error in the compile process...

with mingw it is not that way????

thanks again..
