It seems that MinGW-w32 started distributing GDI+ headers since this version and MinGW-w64 might have supported them for even longer, but it's difficult to test for the MinGW distribution used in this header, as it is included before wx/msw/gccpriv.h which defines __MINGW32_TOOLCHAIN__ and __MINGW64_TOOLCHAIN__ symbols and changing this is tricky due to relative order of defining UNICODE and wxUSE_UNICODE and including MinGW headers, which can only be included once UNICODE is set properly. But while the fully correct solution is difficult, just checking for the compiler version should solve the problem in 99.99% of the cases in practice as there should be vanishingly few people using MinGW-w64 with gcc < 4.8 currently, so this simple solution is good enough. Closes #17973.
About
wxWidgets is a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at https://www.wxwidgets.org/ and read its documentation online at http://docs.wxwidgets.org/
Platforms
wxWidgets currently supports the following primary platforms:
- Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10 (32/64 bits).
- Most Unix variants using the GTK+ toolkit (version 2.6 or newer or 3.x).
- OS X (10.7 or newer) using Cocoa (32/64 bits).
Most popular C++ compilers are supported including but not limited to:
