Build problems with wxW2.8.4

[patlecat]

I compiled in UNICODE.

The setup for wxW is not really user friendly in CB I must say, I'm kinda disapointed


AHHHH finally it compiles and runs!!! 
Goddamnit that was such an annoying thing to fix!!!

Thank you very much for your help and patience Tim, that was fantastic (thumbsup)

It is getting more friendly all the time, the major problem is clearly written user documentation.

For Multi Unicode, Change wxmsw28 to wxmsw28u_core and add wxbase28u
Note, more libs may need to be added based on each project requirement.

To change libs look at
Project -> Build Options
Change "Compiler Settings" to "Linker Settings"
The libraries should be under "Link Libraries" add them one per row.

ok now the release build runs fine.

but now i can't debug. it builds but i wanted to see if i can step through the program. and now it gives me this error:
Mismatch between the program and library build version detected.
And there it says that I use the debug version of the wxW-Lib but my program is not compiled as debug...?

Did you use C::B's built-in features at all?? :shock:

C::B's wizard is good enough to start wxWidgets programming. It supports most of possible wx configurations. You didn't use that / used wrong settings which resulted in Compilation and Linking failure.

My request, Please don't blame C::B.

ok now the release build runs fine.

but now i can't debug. it builds but i wanted to see if i can step through the program. and now it gives me this error:
Mismatch between the program and library build version detected.
And there it says that I use the debug version of the wxW-Lib but my program is not compiled as debug...?

__WXDEBUG__  defined in debug mode, undefined in release mode.

Verify that you defined __WXDEBUG__ in Code::Blocks for the Debug Target.

"Compiler Setting" Tab "#defines" make sure the proper target is selected in left hand window.

Okay Tim I created a new project from scratch, now that all my settings are correct and now that I know what I'm supposed to do it really works. I take it back, the wizard works well and even the debug EXE runs now without any runtime errors. Now I have to check if and how I can step through my code.

But I agree with you, the documentation is not up the features and quality of CB. Yet it would be nice to have an automatic config for the wxW-Lib.
