I have decided to work on updating the CB wxWidget's wizard.
This is something that will take me months; I was just wandering what are the features the users want.
Link to thread that wants MSys2 support http://forums.next.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,21085.msg144031/topicseen.html#msg144031 (http://forums.next.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,21085.msg144031/topicseen.html#msg144031)
The features I want are:
1. Better PCH support in default code
2. Able to use wxWidgets team pre-build binaries
3. Able to use wx-config.exe under windows
4. Able to use MSys2 wx-config and wxSmith/none (No support currently planned for wxFormBuilder under MSys2)
What additional features are wanted?
Link to any feature requests in CB support page?
Note: I am NOT a CB Developer; so, these changes will still need an developer to approve them.
I am a C embedded programmer; so, a good C++ and wxWidgets developer to check my code changes would be helpful.

but please optional?
Have you some idea how the naming scheme of wx is on windows?
Edit2: Somehow instead of doing a new post I edited the old one.

Link to alpha git project to do step 4. https://github.com/stahta01/msys2_wx_config_exe.git (https://github.com/stahta01/msys2_wx_config_exe.git)
An wx-config.exe that works with MSys2 wx-config shell script
I did only minor testing and only 4 options are partly supported.
Output of wx-config --help below
Usage: wx-config [--help] --prefix <str> [--cflags] [--libs] [--static]
--help show this help message
--prefix=<str> Required path to the MSys2 mingw folder (C:/MSys2/mingw32)
--cflags Outputs all pre-processor and compiler flags.
--libs Outputs all linker flags.
--static Uses a static configuration if found.
Edit: Now that I have confirmed my idea on how to do step 4 will work will start doing the wxWidgets Wizard changes.
