I've found a similar post on stackoverflow, but that does not seem to apply to my case.
As per subject, I cannot compile a basic wxWidgets "Hello, World" program in Windows 10 with CodeLite 14 and wxWidgets 3.1.4 (compiled using MSYS2-mingW64) with the default CodeLite settings.
The error message is at line
