Select wx-config script

[evstevemd]

I think there should be an option to set up active wx-config in enviroment so that it will be easy to switch btn versions of wxwidgets without much effort. Currently for each new project (With wx29) I have to enter manually wx-config path so that it will not use default wx28! Like in C::B there is option to setup global wx variable.

How do you see that?

you can use wx-config without absolute path but define various environment variables sets.

- From: 'Settings | Environment Variables...'
- You should have by default one set named 'Default'
- Click on the 'New Set...' button and create new set - name it 'wx-29'
- Copy the content of the 'Default' and paste it into the wx-29
- Add new variable:

In the 'wx-29' make it:

Code: Select all

WX_TOOL=/path/to/my/wx29/wx-config

and in the 'Default' set, make it point to the default

Code: Select all

WX_TOOL=wx-config

- Click OK and close this dialog

In your project (or workspace) - you can select which environment variables set will be used.
Right click on your project: 'Settings | Environment' and change the 'Environment variables set to use' from 'Default' to 'wx-29'

Replace the wx-config line with:

Code: Select all

$(WX_TOOL)

So instead of:

Code: Select all

$(shell wx-config --debug=no --unicode=yes --libs)

It should now become:

Code: Select all

$(shell $(WX_TOOL) --debug=no --unicode=yes --libs)

NOTE:
If you don't want to select the environment variable set per project, you can also do this from the 'Workspace' level: right click on the workspace icon and select 'Workspace Settings | Environment'

Thanks Eran. It is rather better doing that than changing stuffs in each project

I followed these instructions exactly but received the following error messages when I tried to build a project:

Is this a problem with my environment, the source code, or my CodeLight settings?

How do I fix this?

P.S. I just noticed that /opt/local/bin/wx-config is an alias to /opt/local/lib/wx/config/mac-unicode-release-2.8

The problem is that you try to pass the flag '--debug=yes' to the wx-config tool, but you dont have wx debug version installed as clearly stated in the error you received:

Thanks. I rebuilt wxmac and it works now.
