compiling wxWidgets

[mike27]

I want to compile a wxWidgets project in code blocks, but I want the exe file to contain everything it needs in order to run on a different computer where wxWidgets is not installed. Is it possible?
thanks.
best regards. Mike.

Hello,

Yes, it is possible . Build wxWidgets as static library(ies) and link your application to it(them).

I compiled widgets using this: mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=0
but I get many linker errors "undefined reference to..." for example: "undefined reference to _imp__wxPanelNameStr".
Do you know how to get rid of these errors?

Hello,

To build wxWidgets, I usually do as explained here:

Anyway, if you want a static build, then you should use SHARED=0 (I think it is the default option). And if you do not want unicode, then UNICODE=0.

Best wishes,
Michael
