C++11 compatible wxDev version?

If you are using wxDev-C++ for your wxWidgets design, please ask your questions here instead of in IDE Related.

Better yet, find another, still supported, IDE. For example, I have never used wxDev-C++ so I was surprised it does not support having multiple build configurations per project (Debug/Release/32-bit/64-bit...). I thought such a feature was a must, I know MSVC had it at least since 1998. But I might have overlooked it, all I wanted to do was to test if it is possible to use it for C++11 development.
So if I understood you right, you used wxWidgets without GUI builder?
I have already found an other IDE, CodeBlocks, it has a buildin GUI builder for wxWidgets, but making it worck with wxWidgets is a huge pain in the as, and even after folowing all that stuff from the wiki it still don´t worck for me.

When I tested wxDev-C++, it appeared to be possible to use its built-in GUI builder with "my" wxWidgets and compiler. But I just created a wxWidgets project based on the wxFrame template and added a single wxTextCtrl to it to mimic the code I posted in my previous post.

I myself use MSVC + wxFormBuilder.

Make sence, theoreticaly it should be posible to replace the old .a files with the new ones as long they have the same names, unfortunatelly this solution didn´t worck for me. So how exactly you managed that.

Hi,
It is possible thaty the there is an incompatibility between the 2 versions you tried to switch between.
Generally it is discouraged to compile the library with one compiler than use the library built with a different one in you application.

Thank you.
