Cant get it to build on windows #174

Rrytel commented 1 month ago

I want to contribute to this project but Im having trouble getting it to build on windows. Nothing I do will make cmake find wxWidgets

Make sure the wxWidgets library is installed correctly. Also, last time I checked, cmake had problems detecting the latest version of the wxWidgets library on Windows, try building with the old stable version ( 3.0.5 ).

I'm new to cmake and the instructions for using cmake on the wxWidgets website seem incomplete. The process I have been doing is downloading the installer, installing then building with cmake, then opening the 17.sln and building within VS. Is this correct or am I going about it wrong.

I'm experiencing the same issue. I've tried cmake 3.30.5, and both the latest version of wxWidgets and version 3.0.5, specifying the paths as recommended here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/48947121. However, I'm also new to CMake and more familiar with compiling C/C++ using GCC rather than VS.

>cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A Win32 -DwxWidgets_ROOT_DIR="C:\wxWidgets-3.0.5" -DwxWidgets_LIB_DIR="C:\wxWidgets-3.0.5\lib" ../
