Re: [Dev-C++] WxWindows makefile FUBAR?

[Michael C U. <mu...@cb...>]

Hi all,

Thanks to those who gave suggestions.

I did finally figure out the problem. Basically, wxWindows doesn't like
the make utility that omes with MSys (this despite the fact that the
wxWindows instructions tell you to use MSys, and mSys automatically
replaces whatever make utility you currently have with its own when it
installs).

And used the extra.zip package instead (which comes with the basic UNIX
utilities and also a different make utility. wxWindows built fine after
that.

Thanks again,

Mike
