FYI: we provide wx-config.exe with CodeLite installation. It seems to work for --rcflags switch on MSYS (this is how I compiled the resource file)

Quick question: did you compiler wxWidgets your self, or did you download a pre-built package?
Can you share the download link so I can test it locally? (assuming you downloaded it from somewhere on the web)

A.) Thank you for fixing this! Much appreciated. Seems I finally can try wxWidgets itself.

B.) No, I built wxWidgets from Git Source (3.1.6) with CMake 3.20.1. The CMake Scripts have some Issues left - 2 of them just fixed today after I reported them a couple days ago. They were leading to incomplete and broken Configure Scripts, setting Macros unwanted on Static Builds. One of the reasons I have so many Compiler and Linker Flags set: I am currently Bug Hunting, trying to find work-arounds / alternatives on multiple Fronts.

I am the middle of looking for a "New Home" after leaving Qt behind for the (usually) well known reasons. Everything is a mess right now :roll:
Therefore: Sorry in Advance if I should mix things up.

BTT: I am aware that '--rcflags' missing under some Compiler Configs is a known Issue (or by Design - depending who you ask about that). I will have a look at your Source Repo and try to modify "your magic ways" and applying it for my use case of building wxWidgets - if possible.

BTW: Those "weekly builds" - are they Disabled right now as planned or are they created manually? Sorry I just started trying out CodeLite less than 2 Weeks ago and I am still figuring out what works how and what is broken :)

The so called "weekly" are more likely "monthly"
I am just preparing new 15.0.3 build for CodeLite
Should be out soon

Changes that might interest you:

  • Support for configuring MSYS compiler properly
  • MSYS gdb can now be started from CodeLite
  • Various fixes to the CodeLite Makefile Generator - UNIX

and other changes
