I've managed to instal C::B and wxWidgets under windows. When i tried to execute my first generated program it complained about a missing wxmsw26_gcc_custom.dll. Putting this DLL in the same directory as where my application is located worked fine but is a bit unsatisfactory.

1) How can I tell my application where to find wxmsw26_gcc_custom.dll?

Then I tried to avoid using this DLL by making a static version of wxWidgets. I've change a few compiler/linker directories but the linker gives numerous undefined references. (I've also recompiled the wxWidgets stuff with build option SHARED turned off.)

2) What goes wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Hi !!

You can change your environment PATH variable.

I already followed wxWidgets procedure using mingw and there was no problem but I need to rework a little makefile.gcc file to make it compliant with CodeBlocks RC2 version.
How do you build it ?

Hi,

QuoteI already followed wxWidgets procedure using mingw and there was no problem but I need to rework a little makefile.gcc file to make it compliant with CodeBlocks RC2 version.

I've just followed the instructions on http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/CodeBlocks_Setup_Guide (http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/CodeBlocks_Setup_Guide) by typing

mingw32-make.exe -f makefile.gcc clean USE_XRC=1 SHARED=0 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=0

in the command prompt.

So, I didn't change the makefile.
Thanks again.

If your static building problem is still there, can you send the command/log ?

The problem is more or less solved: I switched to the latest nightly built version of C::B and apparently the IDE was able to call the linker correctly. At least is seems as there were no errors in my static wx libraries. Still, i don't know how tell C::B 1r2 how to make a static executable. Moreover, I've still problems with setting search paths correctly, but a will post this question as a separate item.

Again thanks for your reply
