Compile Time Error

[puneet_m]

When I try to compile codeBlock I get the following error:

undefined reference to CreateBitmap@20. I tried including the necessary header file Windows.h, but the error does not go.

Any ideas as to what is the error?

Thanks,
Puneet

You don't link with gdi32.

[puneet_m]

Thanks for the reply. I linked with the gdit32, but now I am getting a different error:

undefined reference to '_imp__ZNK8wxStringllBeforeFirstEc'.

The error is because of the following line:
wxString option = token.BeforeFirst(':').

Thanks

You need to link with the wxWidgets library too.

[puneet_m]

I have linked with wxWidget library too. The library name is wxmsw28u_gcc_custom.dll.

Can you still see what the problem might be?

[David Perfors]

You should link against wxmsw28u.lib or libwxmsw28u.a (1st is for visual C++ 2nd is for mingw)

But all those things are set in the project files of codeblocks

[puneet_m]

What should I specify in Project->Build Options->Selected Compiler?

As of now I have specified GCC compiler...

What mispunt said.

[puneet_m]

In one of the manual the following statement is written --

You will be prompted to define the global variable $(#wx). Enter the location where you unpacked wxWidgets.

Hit the blue gear and lean back. Compilation may take 3-5 minutes, depending on the speed of your computer.

But I was not prompted to set the global variable. So can anyone highlight as to how to set the global variable.And how to execute the second statement

Thanks,

Settings > Global variables.. and change the global variable.

Error says
C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.4\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lwxxrc

I have compiled wxWidget using mingW, and it got compiled successfully. But it does not have any library like wxxrc.

Thanks,

wxxrc may be needed if you don't use a monolithic library.

If you use wxmsw28u_gcc_custom.dll, you should remove wxxrc from the linker libraries.
