Raw Blame History

Welcome to wxWidgets, a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.

Please notice that since the 2.9 series, only a single source distribution is provided instead of the multiple distributions containing only the files for each port as was done before. So you only need to download wxWidgets-3.0.0.zip (or .7z for much smaller archive size) for Microsoft Windows systems or wxWidgets-3.0.0.tar.bz2 for Unix ones, including Mac OS X. The only difference between these files is that the ZIP (and 7z) archives contain files with DOS line endings while the tar balls contain files with Unix line endings.

Reporting Problems

Please report any bugs to the issue tracker or the wx-users mailing list.

Binaries

We have provided pre-built binary files for the following compilers:

Microsoft Visual C++ compiler versions 9.0, 10.0, 11.0 and 12.0 corresponding to marketing product names of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2013 respectively.
MinGW-TDM versions 4.7.1 and 4.8.1 (with the default SJLJ exceptions propagation method).

For Developers

For developing applications with wxWidgets you need to download the compiler-independent wxWidgets-3.0.2_Headers.7z file and one of wxMSW-3.0.2-vcXXX_Dev.7z or wxMSW-3.0.2_gccXXX_Dev.7z files depending on your compiler, its version and the target architecture (x86 if not specified or x64).

Unpack both files into the same directory so that include and lib directories are at the same level after unpacking. You should be able to compile and link applications using wxWidgets in both debug and release modes but the debug symbols are provided only for debug libraries in this archive, see below for the release build debug symbols.

For End Users

End users may download one of wxMSW-3.0.2_vcXXX_ReleaseDLL.7z or wxMSW-3.0.2_gccXXX_ReleaseDLL.7z files to get just the DLLs required for running the applications using wxWidgets.

For Debugging

Microsoft Visual C++ users: Files wxMSW-3.0.2_vcXXX_ReleasePDB.7z contain the debug symbols for the release build of the DLLs. Download them if you want to debug your own applications in release build or if you want to get meaningful information from mini-dumps retrieved from your users machines.
MinGW-TDM users: Currently the debug symbols are not available for the release build of the DLLs (only the debug versions of the DLLs contains the debug symbols).
