Yet another "a matching release configuration cannot be found" thread

[JPortici]

Hi,
I wanted to evaluate wxwidgets as an alternative to visual studio (VB6, VB.net, visual c++) I had a look at the various IDEs proposed by wxWidget's website and code::blocks seems to be the one i'm looking for, or at least the closest one.

However, i have tried several combinations of versions and installers and i keep getting the "invalid path" error after the first time i set the wx global variable, or everytime i enter the path manually
I think it is related... and I'm not sure if it is a wxwidgets problem or a code blocks problem.... but i am using installers. they are the one that should be taking care of this stuff.

I tried with code blocks installer, versions 16.01 and 13.12 both with and without mingw (in that case i would have installed mingw and selected as compiler)
wxwidgets installers, versions 3.0.3 and 2.8.12

just to be sure i placed everything on the C:/ root folder, in case there was a space character or two in the path

My machine is using windows 7 pro, 64 bit

If anyone can help me, please. The other topics were not of help (and i'd rather not recompile sources. I am using windows AND using installers to avoid that sort of stuff. Double click, go, get to work)

Can you ignore the message and finish the wizard?

After the wizard has finished you can set the missing things by hand....

The configuration that works for me:
Codeblocks trunk (this should work with a release version or a nightly too)
wxWidgets 2.8, downloaded the source code from the website and build by hand with this command line:

Code Select Expand

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1
(for more information how i build wxWidgets read the chapter about building wxWidgets from here: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Windows )
Create a new Project with the wizard:
1. page: next
2. page: wxWidgets 2.8
3. page: Title ecc.
4. page: auhor ecc
5. page: Preferred gui builder: wxSmith Application type Dialog based
6. page: The base location of wxWidgets (i use global variables so here i have "$(#wx)"
7. page: all default -> next
8. page: tick at Use wxWidgets DLL, build as a monolithic library, enable unicode
9. page: ok

If you use global variables at the path like me´, and you don't have this variable you will get a error message and a dialog asking you for the global variable wx.
Enter in "base": The base path to your wx source installation (the folder in what the include folder is)

i hope this helps

The normal wxWidgets installers install source code ONLY.

Did you use the wxWidgets binaries instead of the installers?

Link to binaries for wxWidgets 3.0.3
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/tag/v3.0.3

NOTE: The error you got will happen with an unedited wxWidgets CB wizard and binaries for wxWidgets.

I started work on how to edit the wxWidgets CB wizard.
It requires copying two files into the CB installation.

If you want, I will post those directions and file download location?

Edit2: Link to CB Wiki: On my old directions on how work around the issues in the current CB wxWidget's wizard.
