wxWidgets 2.8.0 problem

[inestical]

Hello,

I'm pretty sure ye will bash me down.

Anyways, I cannot build template (or any project actually) using wxWidgets, since prebuilding gives only this error:

...\include\wx\chkconf.h 1777  #error "wxClipboard requires wxDataObject"

I'm pretty sure I've done right things:

cleaned/built wx install using mingw, set the custom variable to point to the folder with all the files and
set libraries and directories

am I missing something?

Are you using the standard Code::Blocks (without any user applied patches or plugins)?
What is the SVN Number or are you using RC2?
Did you build Code::Blocks yourself or download it?
If compiled Code::Blocks yourself from source, which wxWidgets version was used?
What OS? (XP, 98 or etc.)

arr..
sorry for the techincal details;

standard downloaded Code::Blocks 1.0 RC2
Windows Xp SP2 Professional

anything else?

I suggest upgrading to a nightly build.
Look at this forum http://forums.next.codeblocks.org/index.php?board=20.0.

RC2 was released way before 2.8 widgets and will never support it, in the last month the support for 2.8 widgets has been getting better all the time in the nightly builds.

What command did you build wxWidgets 2.8.0 with?

what do you mean?

btw, when using the wizard when starting new wxWidgets project, it says it does not find the Debug/Release folders in the wxW folder; indeed there is no bin folder..

I think I've dl'd the wrong package or something..

After downloading the source for wxWidgets 2.8, you have to compile it!

Note, you can instead download wxPack which comes with wxWidgets pre-compiled/built.

There is a video tutorial which post by T-Rex. You can take this as a reference.
