Compiling Problem

[Knx]

First, make sure C:\MingGW\bin is in your path, during the build some programs will be called that reside in the the MinGW\bin directory. Also, Make has to be version 3.80 or above. [...]

I'm having this problem when I try to compile wxWidgets 2.6.3-1...
What's wrong? I've set %PATH% to hold MingW\bin ...

make version = 5.2

Make version being 5.2 is wrong, make for minGW is normally 3.79, 3.79.1, 3.80, 3.81 any other values mean you don't know how to get the value or your make is not a recent minGW make (as in last few years.)

The best way to check minGW make version

mingw32-make.exe --version

The common way to check minGW make version, in my case it uses my MSys make which is 3.79.1
Note: Having MSys or Cygwin installed can cause issues building wxWidgets using makefiles.

make --version

cd <wxDir>\build\msw OK

After cd command and before mingw32-make.exe command Add

Code Select Expand


SET PATH=C:\MingGW\bin;C:\MingGW\mingw32\bin


Note: I am assigning a new short value to PATH to avoid issues with others software you have installed, this is the best way to build wxWidgets as per the C::B wiki as of the last time I read/updated it.

I am creating a wiki page to build 2.6.3

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Compiling_wxWidgets_2.6.3_to_develop_Code::Blocks_%28MSW%29#Checking_make_version

If you want I can use you to help verify it.

I don't know why I wrote 5.2...

I don't know why... It just worked now.

Well... Thanks!
