Building for Dev-C++ #19933

Closed wxtrac closed 3 years ago

Issue migrated from trac ticket # 568

component: wxMSW | priority: normal

2002-09-25 11:19:48: anonymous created the issue

I followed all the steps in http://www.wxwindows.org/devcpp.htm to use Dev-C++ with wxWindows and:

  1. Dev-C++ cannot find -lwxmswd

  2. There is no c:\wx2\lib\mswd directory.

  1. You either haven't built libwxmswd.a or you haven't adjusted the c:\wx2 path as per the instructions.

  2. Either you have a different path, or the makefile didn't create the directory correctly (probable). Please create the lib\mswd and lib\mswd\wx directories manually and copy include\wx\msw\setup.h to lib\mswd\wx. Then make the wxWin library again.

Or, you're using a different version of wxWindows from 2.3.3 (you didn't specify).

I'm committing fixes to the makefiles and I'll add notes to the pages to explain the problem.

Download wxWindows package, it's automatic and clean ;-) http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/packages/index.html

The error shall be 1.

Regarding my install wxWindows do have the below directory.

c:\wx2\lib\mswd

But it does not work either.

I use Dev-C++ version 4 (OS: Windows-Me) with wxWindows 2.4.0.

I install/build the wxWindows with Dev-C++ step-by-step by following: "Using Dev-C++ with wxWindows by Julian Smart, September 2002"

Almost everything is fine. But after I compile the under Dev-C++, I got no error in "compiling" but the linker tab of Dev-C++ stated that: "C:\DEVC__~1\BIN\ld.exe: cannot open -lwxmswd: No such file or directory"

I hope to get it running in next few days. So I can learn to program in my coming holiday. I hope I can contribute some "codes" someday.

Can Dev-C++ and wxWindows work together and make life easier by install either and provide an option by a click of button to include the other?

I tried the "package", it is not working either. The "GUI" tab appears. It's exciting. But after compiling, the Dev-C++ said there are more errors. (What's a lesson to learn how to use tar (WinRAR) ... studd. :-( Poor Guy. AL.

Re: http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/packages/index.html

I tried. It doesn't work either.

Someone suggested that-> Download the new Dev-C++ Ver.5 Then use the update check. The wxWindows will be upgraded automatically.

However, when I use this beta version Ver.5 of Dev-C++, it even doesn't compile its sample "Hello World" without generating any error.

I have been trying to use Dev-C++ with wxWindows for a whole week.

I am on the edge to give-up.

Can anyone give some pieces of advice? Otherwise, I have to switch back to Delphi with Dev-C++. That's something I don't want to do. Because I am trying to start an open source cross-platform accounting software.
Or, make it very very cheap. :-(
