wxSQLite - how to build?

Hey guys,

I am quite familiar with standard wxWidgets as I use it on a daily basis in my job, but building wxSQLite is proving difficult for me.

I have my wxSQLite folder in the following directory:
C:\Build_Environments\wxWidgets-2.8.9\components\wxsqlite3

I am using win7, widgets 2.8.9, VS 2008 express and SQLite 3.7.2. I believe all my environmental variables are setup correctly as I have no problem compiling wxWidget samples and other applications.

Now, for my problem... Whenever I try to compile wxSQLite using the VS project file, I receive the following error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'wxmsw28d.lib'

I did not build wxWidgets myself, just copied it from work so I am unsure of the settings used when building.

Where is the wxmswd.lib located? I can only find files such as wxmsw28d_core.lib etc.

Please help as I am losing my mind

Thanks

I have tried building wqsqlite with mingw32 instead of VS. This is the result:

C:\Build_Environments\wxWidgets-2.8.9\components\wxsqlite3\build>mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The selected wxWidgets build is not available!
Please use the options prefixed with WX_ to select another wxWidgets build.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
mingw32-make: *** [test_for_selected_wxbuild] Error 1

C:\Build_Environments\wxWidgets-2.8.9\components\wxsqlite3\build>

Using one of the project files, makefiles or configure script coming with wxSQLite3 it really shouldn't be too hard to build wxSQLite3.

This indicates that you try to compile for a wxWidgets build which is not available on your system. You have to select a build configuration from the list shown in Visual Studio matching your wxWidgets build.

All wxWidgets lib files are located in the lib directory (resp. a subdirectory thereof) of the wxWidgets directory. As far as I can remember wxmswd.lib would correspond to the monolithic debug build of wxWidgets. if you didn't build the monolithic version of wxWidgets this particular lib file doesn't exist.

Well, if your wxWidgets libraries were build using VC++ you can't use them to build a MinGW library or application. In that case you have to rebuild wxWidgets using MinGW.

If makefiles are used to build wxSQLite3 you have to specify all options related to the wxWidgets build to be used either on the command line or in the makefile itself. Inspect the makefile to see the default values of the wxWidgets options.

I have tried recompiling wxWidgets with mingw. I used the following command

Code: Select all

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=1 UNICODE=0 BUILD=debug
This worked fine. Next I tried building wxSqlite3 again using the following command

Code: Select all

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc WX_MONOLITHIC=1 WX_SHARED=1 WX_UNICODE=0 WX_DEBUG=1 WX_VERSION=28
This is where everthing went downhill.

Received the following error

Code: Select all

My guess is that the environment variable WXWIN isn't set correctly or isn't set at all. All wxCode components expect that this variable points to the root folder of the wxWidgets installation to be used.

The error message you experience is emitted by make when the following file

$(WX_DIR)$(WXLIBPATH)\msw$(WXLIBPOSTFIX)\wx\setup.h

was not found. WX_DIR is set to the value of WXWIN within the makefile.

Try to use the make option -v to find out where make looks for this file.

Regards,

Ulrich

i always edit makefile and at the top I explicitly define the absolute path i.e WXWIN=C:\blahblah

edit also some options like monolithic, debug et al. Then build it with mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc

What did you do to solve the problem?

I have copied sqllite3 in wxwidgets/components folder

Then I ran he following command:-
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 UNICODE=1 CXXFLAGS=-fno-keep-inline-dllexport

I get the following error:
if not exist ..\..\lib\gcc_dll\mswu\wx mkdir ..\..\lib\gcc_dll\mswu\wx


Please tell me what to do?

makefile.gcc inside build/msw
I believe there is better way but I just do that and its harmless so far

Ok so this is what I have done.

I copied the sqllite3 files in components folder in wxwidgets folder.

I edited the makefile.gcc in wxwidgets/build/msw

and then I ran the following code:

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc

Will this compile sqllite3 along with wxwidgets?

I have the compilation process running.....will it work?

How do I know that I have installed sqllite successfully?

Why? wxSQLite3 is not part of wxwidgets but depends on it. so don't copy it in wxWidgets

Correct

No. You have to run "mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc" in wxwidgets directory/build/msw

Its a library, so you will see DLLs/.a files after building.

Have you ever dealt with library with C++?

So u r saying that wxsqllite3 should be compiled separately....


I need to go to the folder C:\wxsqlite3-3.2.1\wxsqlite3-3.2.1\build

and run the following command:

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc

This does not compile the sqllite

I am sorry buddy...But I don't quite follow what needs to be done to build sqllite library
