Thanks,
I decided for the first option because I have no preferrence regarding the
compiler.
I also thank Yeoh for his help in a direct mail.
I made it to compile an empty project.

It stopped again when I tried to compile thewxWindows samples.
I imported the MS VC Realease project of some of them but failed to link
"libz".

I've got a "libzlib.a" from DevC++4(just for a try), but got unlninked
functions (part follows):
C:/IDE/DEVCPP5/lib/libwx.a(app.o)(.text+0x447): undefined reference to
`InitCommonControls@0'
C:/IDE/DEVCPP5/lib/libwx.a(app.o)(.text+0x451): undefined reference to
`OleInitialize@4'
C:/IDE/DEVCPP5/lib/libwx.a(app.o)(.text+0x102a): undefined reference to
`OleUninitialize@0'
C:/IDE/DEVCPP5/lib/libwx.a(statbr95.o)(.text+0x3ee): undefined reference to
`CreateStatusWindowA@16'
C:/IDE/DEVCPP5/lib/libwx.a(utils.o)(.text+0x31e): undefined reference to
`WSAStartup@8'
C:/IDE/DEVCPP5/lib/libwx.a(utils.o)(.text+0x348): undefined reference to
`gethostname@8'
etc...
I probably have to link some windows specific lib. Which?

I found it strange that didn't found resources defined in wx/msw/wx.rc
I defined an prolog to absolute folder location for every resource and now
it works.
Shouldn't it get it from the include folders list?

I also upgraded to 4.7.9.1 and found some new GUI bugs there.
Does it have some side effects on compiling/linking, too?

Regards,
Goran
