Drive C is found under /c/, drive D under /d/ and so on.ĭownload and Install the wxWidgets source code If you don't have the extra package, you must run the wxWidgets 2.4.2 compilation from inside MSYS. If it doesn't appear in your desktop, search for it in your programs menu. When you run the executable installer, it will provide a link to msys.bat. The MSYS package ( NOT included in the Code::Blocks+MinGW bundle) allows you to run unix scripts with Mingw. To install, just download it and unzip it in your MINGW directory. The extra.zip package contains some programs which mimic frequently-used commands in Linux. To avoid this windows-linux compatibility problems, you have two options: The wxWidgets makefile requires some unix commands (like cp) to run correctly. (I'm assumming you installed under C:\MINGW) You need a third-party extraction utility to unzip them.Īfter you install, make sure you have the following directories under your path: NOTE: The files are compressed in the tar.gz format. If you DO have the Code::Blocks + MinGW bundle, or have already installed MINGW on your own, you can skip this section. In this tutorial we're assumming you're installing MINGW under C:\MINGW. MINGW site and install it under a directory you like. If you don't have the Code::Blocks+MinGW bundle, grab the latest MINGW stuff (including MSYS) from the 9.2 undefined reference to `_imp_wxTheApp' (& others).8 Post compilation steps (before running C::B).7.2 Option 2: Setting up the paths manually.7.1 Option 1: Copying the wxWidgets files over your MINGW installation.7 Copy the files to your mingw directory or set up the paths.3 Download and Install the wxWidgets source code.
