wxMSW and wxWidgets

hi all,

i really have a doubt..i downloaded the wxWidgets from the site and i installed it in Linux....then i found i should use MSW option for cross-compilation...so is there separate wxMSW somewhere or what is the difference btween wxMSW and wxWidgets download files??..r theyt same??

What do you mean ? You use:

- wxGTK zip file if you are under Linux
- wxMSW zip if you are under Windows

In essence the sources are the same, but not all files are the same. So did you downloaded wxGTK for Linux (I assume you do, but then I don't know what you mean).

Hi!
For cross-compilation I guess you should use the mingw gcc compiler suite as your cross-compiler on linux. Download wxMSW or wxALL for compilation.
I'm not really sure wether cross-compilation from Linux works or not, maybe somebody else can confirm this, but I heard that with mingw it works pretty well in general.

hi,

yeah i downloaded wxGTK for Linux.......now i have to use mingw compiler to compile in linux so that i can produce "a.exe" as outputs and not as ".o"....so it is clear that i have to use MS-Windows files..i also have them in "/usr/win32"....so now is wxGTK is suitable for this or i have to download wxALL and configure for wxMSW port?

Ok, I misunderstood. Scratch my post. You ofcourse wanted to x-compile for windows under Linux. I cannot contribute much to that, it is however interesting to get it going...

hi,

"./configure --prefix=/usr/local/i586-mingw32msvc --host=i586-mingw32msvc --target=i586-mingw32msvc --with-msw "

the above command will configure wxWindows to be compiled under Mingw compiler in Linux Platform itself....the make process is also fine and make install process is also fine.....but how to compile a simple HelloWorld program using mingw compiler..i tried by the following command..

"i586-mingwmsvc-gcc Hello.cpp 'wx-config --libs --cflags' -o hello"

this is giving many errors stating that the header file cannot be found and also link error....i have added LD_LIBRARY PATH ans also added entry in /etc/ld.so.conf...but it is not working...!!

Note To Jorg

Sorry again Jorg...i misused the Compiler Forum..and again i placed my post in wrong forum..i thought u would delete it...i wont repeat it again....thanks.
