Using Visual Studio Express 2013

[iwbnwif]

Hi,

I am trying to set up CodeLite 8.0 to work with Visual Studio Express 2013, using the latest version of wxWindows from Github on Windows 8.1.

Edit> I have built this using nmake within the VS2013 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt.

I create a project using File->New->New Project and choosing wxWidgets GUI Application (wxFrame using wxCrafter) and set the compiler to Visual C++ 12.

If I try to build within CodeLite I get the following error message:

Code: Select all

'makedir' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

If I open a terminal at the location of the workspace and run

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /C C:/TDM-GCC-64/bin/mingw32-make.exe SHELL=cmd.exe -e -f  Makefile

I get the following error:

Code: Select all

FORMAT is one of rc, res, or coff, and is deduced from the file name
extension if not specified.  A single file name is an input file.
No input-file is stdin, default rc.  No output-file is stdout, default rc.

I think the first error is caused by the PATH not being set correctly, but I have the following environment variables set up (Settings->Environment Variables):

Code: Select all

CodeLiteDir=C:\Program Files\CodeLite
UNIT_TEST_PP_SRC_DIR=C:\UnitTest++-1.3
WXWIN=C:\Users\iwbnwif\Development\wx_git_vc\wxWidgets
WXCFG=vc_lib/mswud
PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\CodeLite;C:\Users\iwbnwif
\Development\wx_git_vc\wxWidgets\lib\vc_lib

So I don't know why makedir isn't being found?

As for the windres error, it looks like the windres command is being correctly constructed or the TDB-GCC-64 windres has a different syntax to the 32 bit one?

Any help is very welcome

Code: Select all

PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\CodeLite;C:\Users\iwbnwif

This line is wrong.
In CodeLite you always use "$"

This line should be:

Code: Select all

PATH=$PATH;C:\Program Files\CodeLite;C:\Users\iwbnwif

Thank you, but I made the change as you suggested and still get the same errors both within CodeLite and from a command prompt spawned from CodeLite.
