Glut and wxWidgets together in a project

[ozgurgerilla]

Hi All,

I am working on a project that uses both glut and wxwidgets. I can make and compile a glut project on its own and wxwiwdgets but if I try to use both on the same project it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Yes, your setup is not correct.

Reading the FAQ maybe?

Couldn't find the problem there. what I have is a glut project working well in code::blocks and now I need to use wxWidgets. I try using the header but it cannot find it. it gives me this error

...wx/wxprec.h: No such file or directory
...wx/wx.h: No such file or directory

but when I do file>new>project and select wxwidgets wizard, then wxwidgets works perfectly alone but not with glut. could you please tell me how to use it together?

Ah, you have to setup you project manually.

I think it will be easier to create wx project, than make it use glut by copying options from a working glut project.

The project templates are made to ease the creation of common projects, your is not such.
In order to succeed you need to understand how compiling works (include dirs, compiler options, lib dirs, linker options), but I don't know where (except google) you can find that information.

I've checked all include dirs, compiler options, lib dirs, linker options and they are all the same; wxwidgets seems to work but GLUT doesn't. If you could find something please post it because I am stuck with DevC++ 4.x and wxWidgets 2.6.0, I can't even use the super awesome wxAUI! lol

... wxwidgets seems to work but GLUT doesn't. ...

What does that mean? The compiler/linker has told you what is the problem, you just need to decipher it!
That's why I told you to enable full logging, so you can see how the compiler/linker is run (what options are passed to it).
And if you know the required options you would know what is missing...


p.s. if you can't fix you problem you could post the full log here, so someone could spot the problem...

Hi,
There is an error and 7 warnings, the error is:

error: redeclaration of C++ built-in type `short'

it says how this line in glut.h is redeclared:

Code Select Expand

typedef unsigned short wchar_t;

but I have no variable named wchar_t

p.s. I've not read the whole topic, but I should have some clues what is needed...

hey mate great link, thank you very much. how do you go about finding relevant sites, is it a correct use of google search? most I know is quotes and good use of words is there any other tricks?

This was what I typed in google:

Code Select Expand


error: redeclaration of C++ built-in type `short'


It was first non-ad result  

Searching for the exact message of the error helps 99% of the time
