wxWidgets with Dev-cpp:
The wxWidgets devpak is installed, it shows up in the install manager but I'm not able to compile code that uses wxwidgets. I get several errors on include directives like this:
9 F:\Dev-Cpp\Projects\main.cpp wx/wxprec.h: No such file or directory.
I installed Dev-cpp, and then installed imagelib Devpak and then wxwidgets devpak. The Dev-cpp's Package Manager shows wxwidgets devpak is installed and verifies that there are no errors.
The Dev-cpp is in F:\Dev-Cpp, widgets are in:
F:\Dev-Cpp\wxWidgets-2.8.6-msw-static
Please help! I'm going crazy after spending several hours trying to compile a piece of wxwidgets code with ANY compiler!
I tried BCC5 earlier, it gave similar error message on the very first #include directive but after I gave the include path in BCC5's configuration file, now it gives two new errors:
Error E2209 f:\wx287\include\wx/platform.h 196: Unable to open include file 'wx/setup.h'
Fatal F1003 f:\wx287\include\wx/chkconf.h 95: Error directive: "wxUSE_CRASHREPORT must be defined."
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thanks, downloaded it and it works like a charm! (well, almost)
I've been getting some WYSINAWYG (What You See Is Not Always What You Get) problems with it though, like I choose the background and foreground colors of a static box but they don't show up in the actual executable as they do in the DevC++ IDE :(
Anyone else faced such issues? I'll try to upload the project, it's a basic dialog box (I'm trying to create an installer), I'm trying to add a static box with white color so that the background of the main form is default grey and there is a white static box on the right half, or a top bar with black text that says "Welcome to xyz install".

Thanks a lot for another quick reply, it's much appreciated! I will post the question in that forum.
Hi Everyone:
Make you life easy. Download wxDev-C++, a version of Dev-C++ already setup to do wxWidgets.
http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/
See Ya

Glad to hear that everything is working.
You would probably get a better answer if you ask this question on the wxDev-C++ forum. If that doesn't work you can try the wxWidget forum.
To get to the wxDev-C++ forum go to the site I gave above and on the left click on 'Getting Help/Links' then on 'wxDev-C++ forum'.
Good Luck and have fun.
Butch
