About wxmsw28u_gcc_custom.dll

[zac]

Dear all,

I'm trying to create a project using wxWidgets DLL and enable unicode. The issue is, if I want to have a version of wxmsw28u_gcc_xxx.dll instead of wxmsw28u_gcc_custom.dll, like Code:Blocks using wxmsw28u_gcc_cb.dll, how can I configure the project to look up the wxmsw28u_gcc_xxx.dll?

Thanks a lot.

You need to overwrite the VENDOR variable when compiling wxWidgets.
see build/msw/config.gcc

# Use this to name your customized DLLs differently
VENDOR := custom

Dear raph,

Sorry, I've not made myself clear. I've already compiled the wxmsw28u_gcc_xxx.dll with the makefile VENDOR=xxx option already. The problem is, when I create a project in Code:Blocks, how can I configure the project to use wxmsw28u_gcc_xxx.dll? (Projects created with the wizard will use wxmsw28u_gcc_custom.dll)

If I copy the wxmsw28u_gcc_xxx.dll to the exe folder and run the exe, it will complain that it cannot find the file wxmsw28u_gcc_custom.dll.

Thanks.

You need to link against the libwxmsw28u.a being created when you compiled your wxmsw28u_gcc_xxx.dll.
You probably have some wxmsw28u_gcc_custom.dll wxwidgets folder around. Simply adjust the path of the global variable you specified in wxWidget wizard ("wx" by default) to point to wxmsw28u_gcc_xxx.dll wxwidgets folder.

Dear raph,

I've used the default folder of wxWidgets to compiled the wxmsw28u_gcc_xxx.dll and should I change the global variables?

Since when I create a new project with the wizard, it is ok and have the source file created for me. However, when I compiled and run my project, it is still looking for the wxmsw28u_gcc_custom.dll.

Thanks.

Dear all,

Is there anything wrong with my compilation of wxWidgets? I use a cmd file to compile on a XP machine with SP2.  The commands are as follow:-

I put all my clean together at the top.

I have no idea what RUNTIME_LIBS=static means in building wxWidgets, so it might be causing an problem.

Yes, you have to change the wx global variable in order for your wxWidgets to be used.

Dear Tim,

Since I'm still new in using Code:Blocks (and C++), could you tell me how and what to change?

Thanks a lot.

We highly recommend to read this excellent article about global variables.
You will find them under Settings->Global variables...

Dear Raph,

May be due to my poor English, after studying the recommended article, I still cannot figure out the way to set CB to link to wxmsw28u_gcc_xxx.dll. Could sb kindly list out the steps in setting up the environment for using wxmsw28u_gcc_xxx.dll for me to test with?

Thanks a lot.

What is the full path to where you compiled the DLL you wish to use?

Tim S

[zac]

Dear Tim,

The full path for the wxmsw28u_gcc_xxx.dll are K:\DEV\bin\wxWidgets-2.8.4\lib\msw\gcc_dll, K:\DEV\bin\wxWidgets-2.8.4\lib\msw\gcc_lib where K:\DEV\bin\wxWidgets-2.8.4 is also my default wxWidgets installed folder. And I've installed MinGW in K:\DEV\bin\MinGW-5.1.3 and Code::Blocks in K:\DEV\bin\CodeBlocks-1.0.rc.svn.4425.

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

zac

[stahta01]

Set current variable to "wx"
Change the path in "base" to "K:\DEV\bin\wxWidgets-2.8.4\lib\msw\gcc_dll" without the quotes.

Leave "Include", "Lib" and the others blank.

The do a full rebuild of your project/workspace.

Thanks Tim,

However, I still got error when compiling.

I've set the Global Variables to point to K:\DEV\bin\wxWidgets-2.8.4\lib\msw\gcc_dll and all other leave blanks.

Also, if I use the wizard to create a new project, I'll get error saying that wxWidgets' files not found.

zac
