+Settings for wxWindows 2 / Settings for wxWindows 1.68 +
+ +

+ +To compile wxWindows samples and applications using the VC++ 5.0 or 6.0 IDE (having compiled wxWindows +using the makefile or project file provided), the following +steps and settings should be used.

+ +

Steps

+ +
    +
  1. Create a new WIN32 Application project. +
  2. Add the .cpp and .rc files for your project. +
  3. Apply the settings listed below to the project, replacing c:\wx2 with your wxWindows +installation path. +
+ +

+ +

Settings for wxWindows 2

+ +These settings apply to wxWindows 2.1.14 and above.

+ +

+
General
+The Output files and Intermediate files directory fields should be Debug +for the Debug configuration, and Release for the Release configuration.

+ +

Debug: General
+The Executable for debug sessions field should be altered to be the path and name +you'd expect (it may have generated a different name).

+ +

C/C++: Preprocessor
+The Preprocessor definitions field should contain the following symbols for Debug:

+ +

+WIN32,_DEBUG,_WINDOWS,__WINDOWS__,__WXMSW__,__WXDEBUG__,WXDEBUG=1,
+__WIN95__,__WIN32__,WINVER=0x0400,STRICT
+
+

+and these for Release:

+ +

+NDEBUG,WIN32,_WINDOWS,__WINDOWS__,__WXMSW__,__WIN95__,__WIN32__,
+WINVER=0x0400,STRICT
+

+The Additional include directories field should contain the following:

+

+c:\wx2\include,c:\wx2\contrib\include
+
+

(and of couse any other directories you wish to use in your project).

+ +

C/C++: Precompiled Headers
+ +The Not using precompiled headers or Automatic use of precompiled headers +button should be selected.

+ +

C/C++: Code Generation
+ +The Use run-time library control should be set to Debug Multithreaded DLL (Debug) +or Multithreaded DLL (Release).

+ +

Link: Input
+ +The Object/library modules field should contain: + +
+kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib
+ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib comctl32.lib rpcrt4.lib wsock32.lib
+winmm.lib wxd.lib xpmd.lib pngd.lib zlibd.lib jpegd.lib tiffd.lib
+
+ +for the Debug configuration and + +
+kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib
+ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib comctl32.lib rpcrt4.lib wsock32.lib
+winmm.lib wx.lib xpm.lib png.lib zlib.lib jpeg.lib tiff.lib
+
+ +for the Release configuration.

+ +The Ignore libraries field should contain: + +

+libcd.lib,libcid.lib,msvcrt.lib
+
+ +for the Debug configuration and + +
+libc.lib,libci.lib,msvcrtd.lib
+
+ +for the Release configuration.

+ +The Additional library path field should contain + +

+c:\wx2\lib,c:\wx2\contrib\lib
+
+ +for both Debug and Release configurations. + +

+ +

Resources
+ +Select your .rc file. The Additional resource include directories field should contain: + +
+c:\wx2\include;c:\wx2\contrib\include
+
+ +
+ +
+ +

Settings for wxWindows 1.68

+ +Note: these have not yet been checked.

+ +

+
Debug: General
+The Executable for debug sessions field should be altered to be the path and name +you'd expect (it may have generated a different name).

+ +

General
+The Output directories fields can be made blank if you want the objects +and executable to be created in the project directory and not a subdirectory.

+ +

C/C++: Preprocessor
+The Preprocessor definitions field should contain the following symbols:

+

+WIN32,_DEBUG,_WINDOWS,wx_msw,DEBUG=1,WIN95=1,WINVER=0x0400,STRICT
+
+

+The Additional include directories field should contain the following:

+

+../../include/base,../../include/msw
+
+

(and of couse any other directories you wish to use in your project).

+ +

C/C++: Precompiled Headers
+ +The Not using precompiled headers or Automatic use of precompiled headers +button should be selected (I can't find a way of using the wxWindows PCH file).

+ +

C/C++: Code Generation
+ +The Use run-time library control should be set to Multithreaded DLL. This +sets the compiler switch to /MD to match the wxWindows makefile.

+ +

Link: Input
+ +The Object/library modules field should contain: + +
+kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib
+shell32.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib comctl32.lib
+../../lib/wx.lib ../../src/msw/dummy.obj
+
+ +The Ignore libraries field should contain: + +
+libcd.lib,libcid.lib
+
+ +

+ +

Resources
+ +Select your .rc file. The Additional resource include directories field should contain: + +
+..\..\include\msw;..\..\contrib\fafa
