wxPDFDocument - Which files to add to a project Topic is solved

[evstevemd]

Cannot Compile SVN. First I get a lot of warnings and then one error!

Well, you're mixing up library and DLL builds.

If you only define WXUSINGDLL - as you did -, this means you want to compile code which references wxPdfDocument compiled as a DLL. You can't compile wxPdfDocument itself that way.

If you want to compile wxPdfDocument itself as a library resp. as a DLL define WXMAKINGLIB_PDFDOC resp. WXMAKINGDLL_PDFDOC. In that context defining WXUSINGDLL means using a wxWidgets DLL build.

hi Ulrich,
I want to compile it as static library. The whole wxWidgets is compiled as DLL. So which switch I use to compile wxPdfDoc as static library? Sorry I could not grasp what you said in post above!

You need to define the following symbols:

WXMAKINGLIB_PDFDOC - create wxPdfDocument as static library
WXUSINGDLL - use wxWidgets built as DLL

I have spotted my error. i was using WXMAKINGDLL_MYLIB. I read your post again and found straight forward (forgive me I was may be too tired to understand). Changing that to WXMAKINGDLL_PDFDOC gave me a 17.6MB library in Unicode/debug mode. Hope it will be small in release mode! So far case is closed and thanks for your support!
