What about the C++11 parts? Although I was able to compile wx 3.0.2 with MSVC 2005, I'm not sure an older compiler like MSVC 2003 would compile these parts, even if I fix the defines problem. The problem with MSVC 2005 is that it won't generate code compatible with Windows 95. This is why I should go with MSVC 2003 which completely supports Windows 95.

Which parts are those?
wxW does not use new features from c++11.

For those that need you to specify -std=gnu++11 at MinGW. If you don't specify this, wxW 3.0.2 won't compile.

As already said several times before this post, none of these is true.
There is no such requirement for any wxW version.

Based on my experience, this is true. I usually don't use MinGW, but when i made some tests with it, i always had to add -std=gnu++11, otherwise you'll get build errors in wxAny.

I have just successfully built 3.1.1 master (yes, not 3.0.2, but maybe even more concludent) without any c++11 requirement using tdm32-gcc5.1.0.

If there ever was any error solved only by setting c++11 mode, then that was a bug and I'm sure it was fixed by now. Again, enforcing c++11 compliance is not required for wxWidgets libs. There are the official mailing lists and IRC channel for asking about this and getting an answer from wxW maintainers.

I have just tried and wxWidgets 3.0.2 does not compile with MinGW 5.3 without specifying -std=gnu++11 in CXXFLAGS, i.e., with

Code: Select all

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug

I ended up with

Code: Select all

I consider this a bug that should be reported at wxTrac. As the GIT head compiled just fine using the same procedure, the bug must have been fixed there and the fix should be backported to 3.0.

Edit
The bug is actually already recorded on wxTrac including the notice about the fix not being backported yet: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/16981

Hi,
As the ticket has a fix you can actually grab the code that fixes it, apply it to you copy of 3.0.2 and recompile.

Thank you.
