Failing to build default wxWidgets project

[darus]

I've downloaded nightly build and installed it, as written in Nightly Cookbook. I also downloaded MinGW and placed it in C:\Program Files\MinGW.

I've compiled wxWidgets with following commands:

cd c:\Program Files\wxWidgets\build\msw
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc SHARED=0 MONOLITHIC=0 BUILD=debug UNICODE=1 clean
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc SHARED=0 MONOLITHIC=0 BUILD=debug UNICODE=1


Building was successful and a bunch of libraries was created in C:\Program Files\wxWidgets\lib\gcc_lib.

Then I created new CodeBlocks "wxWidgets application" project, checked "Use debugging libraries", unchecked "Use wxWidgets DLL", "wxWidgets is built as monolithic library". "Enable unicode" flag was set by default and I left it that way.

CodeBlocks said something about "Matching configuration cannot be found...", I pressed "Yes".

When trying to complie this project, linker complained about "cannot find -lwxcore26u". I've replaced wxcore26u library by the wxmsw26ud_core library, that I found in C:\Program Files\wxWidgets\lib\gcc_lib. However this time linker ended up with whole bunch of errors:

What am I doing wrong? I thought that creating wxWidgets application with CodeBlocks is quite straitforward, but it seems it's not 

[mandrav]

The wxWidgets wizard currently does not work for non-monolithic builds...

[darus]

Finally managed to build that damned project 

My mistake was that I placed wxWidgets libraries AFTER all the windows API libraries in the build options dialog. It works only if wxWidgets libraries are placed BEFORE all API libraries.
