Hi,

I'm new in wxWidgets (wxWindows) under Windows with Dev-C++, but I found
two things which could help You. First is the wx-Devcpp
(wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/). This is "an extension of DevCpp" which "helps
you to create Dialogs for wxWidgets visually". I tested it with some
simple sample and worked fine (I had only few wxWindgets warnings).

Second way are alternative wxWidgets devpaks:
http://devpaks.org/ (see GUI subcategory)
or
http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/wxwidgets/devpak_install.html
(look at compile options to choose which would be better for You).

All solutions use latest devel release (2.5.3).

Hope this helps
Marcin

I have run wxWidgets a lot, and like it. I have never tried any dev-pack.
Always downloaded and built wxWidgets myself. Often having a large number
of wxWidget versions available - both official and my own more or less
patched versions.

When starting to use wxWidgets, most needed options may be immediately
picked up from test builds of the example source available when installing
the wxWidgets sources.

Below is the project settings I use for one project that is using
wxWidgets 2.5.2. The settings is for a debug build. Too bad Dev-C++
doesn't have a good way of switching between debug and release builds. I
either run with two separate projects, or store the options in a text file
and later past in compiler and linker options for either debug or release
build. At one point I wrote a little tool to patch the project file based
on a template file, but it hasn't been updated in a long time and doesn't
work with the latest and greatest version of Dev-C++.

C++ compiler options:
-DNOCBRT
-frtti
-fexceptions
-fno-pcc-struct-return
-D_X86_=1
-DWIN32
-D_WIN32
-DWINVER=0x0400
-D__WIN95__
-D__GNUWIN32__
-D__WIN32__
-DSTRICT
-D__WXMSW__
-save-temps                 <=== definitely not needed
-D__WINDOWS__
-D__WXDEBUG__
-Wall

Linker options:
-mthreads -Wl
--subsystem,windows
-mwindows
-lwxmsw25d_core
-lwxmsw25d_adv
-lwxbase25d
-lwxregexd -lwxjpegd
-lwxpngd -lwxzlibd
-lwxtiffd
-lstdc++
-lgcc -lwinspool -lwinmm
-lshell32 -lcomctl32
-lctl3d32 -lodbc32
-ladvapi32 -lodbc32
-lwsock32 -lopengl32
-lglu32 -lole32 -loleaut32
-luuid

I have the following directory path info:
Library directories:
c:\usr\src\wxWidgets-2.5.2\lib\gcc_lib

Include directories:
c:\usr\src\wxWidgets-2.5.2\include
c:\usr\src\wxWidgets-2.5.2\src\jpeg
c:\usr\src\wxWidgets-2.5.2\src\png
c:\usr\src\wxWidgets-2.5.2\src\zlib
c:\usr\src\wxWidgets-2.5.2\lib\gcc_lib\mswd

Resource directories:
c:\usr\src\wxWidgets-2.5.2\include

wxWindows is a real pain to get working. The dev-pack is old. You need 
to go to www.wxwindows.org and download the latest version, then compile 
it. However, I have nevwe gotten it to work either way. wxWindows is 
supposed to be awesome, but I'm still trying to figure out how to 
install it. Maybe someone else here knows how to install it properly. I 
was getting all sorts of errors, especially redeclerations and so forth.

Hello!
Some days ago I have downloaded the last version of bloodshed dev-c++.
For some time I used Borland Delphi although I am not a professional =
programmer, just an hobby.
Ok, I had a look in the c++ examples that come with the sw and looacked =
to he example to costruct a window... ok, I was astonished for two =
reasons:
1) the final .exe file was really compact if compared to delphi.
the second is that I  think I will never lear the meaning of all that =
code just to build a window :)

I have found in the packages some ment to help in building a guy.
I have choosen wxwindows (is it a  good choice?). I have installed it =
but have some problems:
if I load the heeloworld example I cannot compile it:


5 D:\Dev-Cpp\include\wx\wx.h:15,               from main.cpp In file =
included from D:/Dev-Cpp/include/wx/wx.h:15,               from main.cpp =

5 D:\Dev-Cpp\main.cpp                  from main.cpp=20
320 D:\Dev-Cpp\include\wx\defs.h redeclaration of C++ built-in type ` =
bool'=20

etc...
can someone help me to track if there is an installation problem?

Thanks alot!
Andrea
