How to set up my own wx-config?

[kagi3624]

Hello, on my linux machine I have a second config for cross compiling to windows that I gave a symbolic link wx-config-forw and it compiles just fine when my default wx-config is something else:

x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ minimal.cpp `wx-config-forw --cxxflags --libs` -o minimal.exe

For my wxWidget project I would like to set to set up the debug build over g++ and the default wx-config and my release build over ming and my custom wx-config-forw. So how can I tell code::blocks to use my custom wx-config instead of the default one for the release build? If I add it to 'other linker options' in the build options the default config is still used and my project fails to build.

You have  different 'other linker options'  for the release and the debug targets, just remove the call to wx-config from the common options.

Specify full path to your wx-config

Thanks, after some fiddling around I got it now. The most difficult part for me was to understand that common compiler and linker settings are used for both build options. Kinda contra intuitive when you have the option to chose two totally different compilers. Anyway,  you also have to remove compiler settings -> other compiler options in the common build options of your projects too. Or you could just edit your project file with a text editor, I guess it works too
