[Dev-C++] Making wxWindows work in Dev-C++ without DevPak

[Trevor S. G. <Gue...@My...>]

The DevPaks included with Dev-C++ are a very thoughtful feature and handy to
newbies since they allow users like me to just click and make things work.

I would like to use the wxWindows GUI toolkit with Dev-C++.  However, while
the latest wxWindows version is 2.4.0, UNfortunately, the wxWindows DevPak
available via vUpdate of Dev-C++, contains the version 2.2.9.

Hence, I'd downloaded the whole wxWindows package from www.wxwindows.org.
However, I'm unable to configure and set it to work for me.

I did read from earlier posts that the wxWindows v2.4.0 DevPaks are
available for download at  http://michel.weinachter.free.fr/.  However,
since I have a poor dial up Internet connection and would like to
do-it-myself, I would be much obliged if somebody would be able to tell me
how should one go about configuring Dev-C++ to recognise the wxWindows
libraries.

Thanks in advance,
Trevor

[Michel W. <mic...@fr...>]

very short...

1) first read :
http://www.wxwindows.org/devcpp.htm

2) second download extra.zip and unpack it in your dev-c++ bin directory 
(don't replace existing files)

3) add in you Path your dev-c++/bin directory (check in a command line 
by typing gcc )

4) add WXWIN environement variable

5) search all the setup.h in wxwindows directory and change the 
configuration

6) change the wxWindows_2.4.0/src/makeg95.env
<cid:par...@fr...>if need

7) launch a command line and go in wxWindows_2.4.0\src\msw
then launch make -f Makefile.g95  (FINAL=1 if need)

8) in the samples directory launch make -f Makefile.g95

9) copy the .a in your lib directory

9 bis) the inlcude directory in the dev-c++ directory

10) create your own project in dev-c++

houf !
