Can't compile anything with wxWidgets 2.8.3

[patlecat]

Hi all

I'm new to CB I've compiled wxW 2.8.3 according to the instructions (with mingw-32.exe) and this worked very well. I'm always using the newest CodeBlock nightly-build and it also runs fine. But when I create a default wxW Project from CB with the default code it won't build! I set all the paths necessary (that I could find in the net), so what can it be??

I get this error:

Code Select Expand

ld.exe:: cannot find -lwxmsw28
=== Build finished: 1 errors, 0 warnings ===


BTW the wxW-Lib works fine with DialogBlocks 4.x, so it's not the lib....but what else?

check the dll it's linking against.

If you built wx for codeblocks it will be something like wxmsw28u_(possibly something else here).dll
So check that you are in fact trying to link with the right thing.
