[Dev-C++] Strange issue with creation of Dev-C++ package

[Steve D. P. <ste...@ho...>]

    Several weeks ago I made available (at
http://www.steveperkins.net/development/platforms/cpp.jsp?category=platforms#dev-cpp) a
pre-built Dev-C++ package of the wxWindows 2.2.7 library.  I have been receiving some strange
bug reports about it, and was hoping that maybe someone could help me shed some light on the
problem.

    When creating a new project from Dev-C++, you can select "wxWindows" and the template will
put everything in place perfectly.  Immediately click "Compile" or "Compile and Run"...
compilation and linking run flawlessly, and the Hello World-ish window provided by the template
code will execute with no problems.  However, if you try to recompile again within the same
session (or even restart Dev-C++ before attempting to re-build)... your subsequent re-compiles
will not work properly.  Compilation executes fine, but you will see a million errors during
the linker pass... apparently Dev-C++ is not correctly linking against any of the wxWindows
libraries.

    Why linking works fine on initial compiles yet fails on subsequent re-compiles is beyond
me.  I'm a bit stumped here... if anyone can provide any insight or suggestions, they'd
certainly be well appreciated!

Cheers,
Steve
