To compile wxWidgets samples and applications using the VC++ 5.0 or 6.0 IDE (having compiled wxWidgets
|
2000-07-15 19:51:35 +00:00
|
|
|
using the makefile or project file provided), the following

|
|

steps and settings should be used.<P>

|
|
<li>Create a new WIN32 Application project.

2004-05-04 08:27:20 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>Apply the settings listed below to the project, replacing c:\wx2 with your wxWidgets
|
2000-07-15 19:51:35 +00:00
|
|

installation path.
