wx widgets install on win10

[themascaratrout]

Hi All,

First post, new to programming. After some research, I've chosen code::blocks on Windows 10 as my ide for c++, (with MinGW) I'm having some trouble getting it set up...

I've been trying to compile wxWidgets but on starting a new project, global variable editor dialog box comes up with this message

"in the currently active set, Code::Blocks does not know the global compiler variable "wx". Please define it."

I can't find any previous searches with this exact issue so I'd appreciate any pointers

Thanks for any replies,

You have to define 'wx' via

Settings -> Global Variables ....

The 'base' value should typically point to the root folder of your wxWidgets installation

(I've tried 3.0.2    & 3.1.0)

Did you build a Release type build of wxWidgets?

Did you build any type of build of wxWidgets?

Hi Tim,

Yes it was a release build, I typed in to cmd:
mingw32-male -f make file.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 UNICODE=1


Thanks for your help with this

What options did you use in the CB wxWidgets Wizard?

The options need to match the build of wxWidgets.

wxWidgets 3.0.x is the only one I haven't changed...

I don't see much errors in the image shot.
It said you don't have a "debug" version of wxWidgets library. But you can still go on by click YES.

You can build a "debug" version of your application which links against a "release" version of wxWidgets library. This should work fine.

Sorted, I moved the compiler and widgets into DDrive, worked straight off.

Thanks all
