215Subject: Re: Compiling 2.0 wxWin Apps in the VC IDE
216Date: Wed, 20 May 1998 14:18:02 +0100
217
218First the apology: the description below is for wx1.68
219not for wx2.0 - sorry if I confused everybody.
220
221Anyway, third time lucky I hope! The settings for
222VC++ 5.0, wx2.0 beta 8, NT Workstation 4.0 sp3
223are:
224
225In project / settings / C/C++:
226Add "__WINDOWS__" to the pre-processor definitions
227Add "{wx}\include" to the additional include directories
228where {wx} is the directory in which wx is installed
229
230In project / settings / Resources:
231add "{wx}\include" to the additional resource include directories
232
233In project / settings / Link:
234Add "wx.lib comctl32.lib dummy.obj" to the Object/Library modules
235
236Add "libcd.lib,libcid.lib" to ignore libraries (under the "input" category)
237
238Add "{wx}\lib,{wx}\src\msw" to the additional library path
239
240I have tested these settings on samples/minimal and can
241build exes which can be debugged using Developer Studio.
242
243I hope I've finally answered the original question. (Next time
244I'll read the question more carefully!).
245
246Regards,
247Chris
248
249Original message (settings for wx1.68c):
250) Try the following (tested with VC++ 5 on NT4):
251)
252) Create a new Win32 Application project and insert the source files
253) (including .rc files).
254)
255) In project / settings / C/C++:
256) Add wx_msw to the pre-processor definitions
257) add {wx}\include\base,{wx}\include\msw to the additional include
258directories
259) where {wx} is the directory in which wx is installed
260)
261) In project / settings / Resources:
262) add {wx}\include\msw;{wx}\contrib\fafa to the additional resource include
263) directories
264)
265) In project / settings / Link:
266) Add comctl32.lib wx.lib dummy.obj ctl3d32.lib to the Object/Library modules
267)
268) Add libc to ignore libraries (under the "input" category)
269)
270) Add {wx}\lib,{wx}\src\msw to the additional library path
271)
272) These settings are for a debug build. You can use the same settings for
273) a release build apart from ignoring libc.
