Hi!
I am VERY NEW to wXWidgets and I have naturally many unanswered questions in my mind. The questions I have are mainly due to insufficient information about wXWidgets. However, I will start with the installation step.
I have been to Link : http://www.wxwidgets.org/ and what I was told there was that "just click to this link : http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/ and off you go"! to where I do not know. I then downloaded wxWidget for MS-Windows but I do not know how to proceed further.

You can get everything up and running in VC++ without needing wxDev-C++ or MinGW. If you have VC++ all installed and setup with the PSDK correctly, you're already a good portion of the way there. You will find the official wxMSW installation instructions (at docs\msw\install.txt) as well as the VC++ Setup Guide on the wxWiki extremely helpful.Modeller wrote:System Information : I am running XP-proffesional and Visual C++ Express edition with Platform SDK installed.

Indeed, following the instructions in the install file and/or wiki should be good.

However you do not seem to be confortable with libs and console, getting a little knowledge in this area would probably make it all seem less obscure (at least for me it did)run the "configure" script and type "make in the console"
I thank you very much for the help you guys have provided, especially for the link : http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php ... etup_Guide
