First the apology: the description below is for wx1.68
|
|
|
|
|
not for wx2.0 - sorry if I confused everybody.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anyway, third time lucky I hope! The settings for
|
|
|
|
|
VC++ 5.0, wx2.0 beta 8, NT Workstation 4.0 sp3
|
|
|
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In project / settings / C/C++:
|
|
|
|
|
Add "__WINDOWS__" to the pre-processor definitions
|
|
|
|
|
Add "{wx}\include" to the additional include directories
|
|
|
|
|
where {wx} is the directory in which wx is installed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In project / settings / Resources:
|
|
|
|
|
add "{wx}\include" to the additional resource include directories
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In project / settings / Link:
|
|
|
|
|
Add "wx.lib comctl32.lib dummy.obj" to the Object/Library modules
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add "libcd.lib,libcid.lib" to ignore libraries (under the "input" category)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add "{wx}\lib,{wx}\src\msw" to the additional library path
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have tested these settings on samples/minimal and can
|
|
|
|
|
build exes which can be debugged using Developer Studio.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I hope I've finally answered the original question. (Next time
|
|
|
|
|
I'll read the question more carefully!).

Original message (settings for wx1.68c):
|
|
|
|
|
) Try the following (tested with VC++ 5 on NT4):
|
|
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
|
) Create a new Win32 Application project and insert the source files
|
|
|
|
|
) (including .rc files).
|
|
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
|
) In project / settings / C/C++:
|
|
|
|
|
) Add wx_msw to the pre-processor definitions
|
|
|
|
|
) add {wx}\include\base,{wx}\include\msw to the additional include
|
|
|
|
|
directories
|
|
|
|
|
) where {wx} is the directory in which wx is installed
|
|
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
|
) In project / settings / Resources:
|
|
|
|
|
) add {wx}\include\msw;{wx}\contrib\fafa to the additional resource include
|
|
|
|
|
) directories
|
|
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
|
) In project / settings / Link:
|
|
|
|
|
) Add comctl32.lib wx.lib dummy.obj ctl3d32.lib to the Object/Library modules
|
|
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
|
) Add libc to ignore libraries (under the "input" category)
|
|
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
|
) Add {wx}\lib,{wx}\src\msw to the additional library path
|
|
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
|
) These settings are for a debug build. You can use the same settings for
|
|
|
|
|
) a release build apart from ignoring libc.
