Compile and run a wxWidget project

[kea_]

Hello all,

My installation: mingw 3.4.5, wxWidget-2.8.8, CodeLite v1.0

My question:
I have looked for docs about the installation for CodeLite and wxWidget but unfortunately I didn't find any things.
So I just created a project an tried to compile and run it.
There where some errors (as I expected):

Building: "mingw32-make" -j 1 -f "MyConsole_wsp.mk" type=Debug
----------Building project:[ MyFrame2 - DebugUnicode ]----------
cc1plus.exe: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-attributes"
mingw32-make[1]: *** [DebugUnicode/myframe2_app.o.d] Error 1
mingw32-make: *** [All] Error 2
----------Build Ended----------

Please give me a hint.

Thank you very much

Some questions:
Do you have wxWidgets installed?

Can u post the content of the generated makefile?
MyFrame2.mk

Quick guess: it looks like a MinGW error. try reinstall MinGW as described here:
http://codelite.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=138

Yes I have the wxWidget installed.
But I don't know where and how I should set the path to the wxWidget library.
I think this is the main reason for not working.

But I don't know where and how I should set the path to the wxWidget library.

You dont need to. Since CodeLite already set it for you. It is using :

Code: Select all

wx-config --cxxflags --unicode=yes --debug=yes

for the include path, defines and other settings.

and:

Code: Select all

wx-config --debug=yes --libs --unicode=yes

for the libraries / paths

cc1plus.exe: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-attributes"

Do you have another wx-config installed? since the one I am providing does not yield this option. and it seems like wx-config --cflags adds this option on your machine.

Here is the output on my XP machine:

Code: Select all

C:\>wx-config --cflags
-mthreads -DHAVE_W32API_H -D__WXMSW__ -D_UNICODE -IC:\wxWidgets-2.8.7\lib\gcc_dll\mswu -IC:\wxWidgets-2.8.7\include -DWXUSINGDLL -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -pipe -fmessage-length=0

can u try to run the same command from the command line?
CodeLite installs this under /path/to/codelite/wx-config.exe

You can run this command to see which wx-config is used:

Code: Select all

/path/to/codelite/which.exe wx-config

Hello eranif,

thank you for your great help.
I have found a installation help on http://codelite.org/LiteEditor/Download. In my opinion this should be on the documentation site. Anyway...
I have done the installation description steps on the download.
Now it works. But I have to copy the wxmsw28ud_gcc_custom.dll to the .exe file.
Width the wxdevcpp you can just compile link and then you have just one file.
I think that must be possible with the codelite too.
Do you know how to do that?

Thanks very much for your help

Done

But I have to copy the wxmsw28ud_gcc_custom.dll to the .exe file.

This is because you are using DLL build of wxWidgets. If you wish to have only exe, and no DLL, build wxWidgets as static library - please refer to http://wxforum.shadonet.com for more help about this.
