[SOLVED] ld.exe: cannot find -lwxmsw30, ideas?

[AshtonC1]

I am new to wxWidgets, using with CodeBlocks and learning the rules for creating new projects, so please try to be patient with any obvious questions that may appear here.

I am testing a project from this article: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/814 ... x5015293xx
But I'm getting 4 strange compile errors.

Edit - update, solved all but item one.
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lwxmsw30u
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lwxpng
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lwxjpeg
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lwxtiff
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lwxzlib

What could cause this?

Edit: I just noticed the attachment try to download it.

This is wrong!

Please correct your linker search path in your CB Project.

Tim
Thanks for your response.

Please correct your linker search path in your CB Project.

Is the Linker Search Path,
Under the Global Compiler Settings, Linker Settings tab(empty) or Search Directories(empty) or Toolchain executables, Linker For libs path?

Oh yes, the Global Variable Editor popped open when I first opened this project.
The obj, bin, cflags, & lflags fields are empty. No user defined fields.
The lib field = C:\wxWidgets-3.0.2\lib

My setting look conflicting here.

Try setting the Global Variable base field to a valid value likely C:\wxWidgets-3.0.2 in your case.

I have the errors down to One.
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lwxmsw30u

My folder was named with an s during a compile.



See new Build log attached.

UPDATE

I determined that the file libwxmsw30u.a was missing from the C:\wxWidgets-3.0.2\lib\gcc_dll directory, so I copied and pasted it from another pc with wxWidgets & CodeBlocks which operates and builds as properly.

Now, this is the latest build log:

Then I realized I had an old MinGW installed im my C:\ directory, renamed it 'zz_MinGW', and the build is error free.
