OK i got the solution copied setup.h into wx include folder under MinGW, but now i have nother problem linker is not working why???
Here is the linker output

well libwxmsw.a doesn't exist...
change the it to link against the file which does exists (libwxmsw26.a or whatever).

[rickg22]

libwxmsw is the STATIC library. libwxmsw26 or whatever is the library which makes the program use the corresponding DLL.

When you make wxwidgets there should be a libwxmsw.a generated (i don't remember well, but i think there was an option to specify creating a static library).

[grv575]

libwxmsw26.a can't be an import library (besides gcc doesn't generate those like msvc does) -- it's 12Megs.
I think it's libwxmsw26.a is the static 2.6 lib and the dll can be used if WXUSINGDLL is defined.

What I think the problem is, is that the template uses -lwxmsw since it could be either -lwxmsw24 or -lwxmsw26.  I believe it used to do something like -lwxmsw$(WX_VER) but that seems to have been removed.  Maybe the WX_VER should be used again for the wxwidgets template (but I guess a no file -lwxmsw$(WX_VER) error message could be confusing).

[rickg22]

At least for 2.4.2, i HAVE generated libwxmsw.a files. I think that you have to specify SHARED=0 when making the wx2.6 lib. For 2.4 it was just removing WXMAKINGDLL=1 from the command line make.

[grv575]

Yeah, sorry I think you're right (so forget what I said about gcc not using import libs).  Looking at libwxmsw26.a with a hex editor, it's all  import symbols with dll offsets - 12M of IDTs.  I wonder how big the static library gets.
