Cannot get wxformbuilder to run on Windows XP

[ColinTaylor]

Hi, I'm completely new to CodeLite (but not new to C++ or running IDEs)

I'm running under Windows XP, and have done the following

Downloaded "codelite-2.10.0.4778-mingw4.4.1-wx2.8.12.exe"
Installed it and accepted all default settings
Activated CodeLite
Created a workspace
Created a new project as follows

• Category=GUI
  Executable (wxwidgets + wxFBdialog)
  Compiler type = gnu g++

Compiled and built Project
** No problems so far
When I right click on the generated file gui.fbp and select "Open with WxFormBuilder...", nothing happens. No errors appear to be displayed
I can double click the gui.fbp file and it opens as a normal text file with CodeLite

The WxFormBuilder settings (Plugins->WxFormBuilder->Settings) are as follows

• WxFormBuilderPath = C:\Program Files\CodeLite\plugins\wxFormBuilder.dll
  Command = $(wxfb) $(wxfb_project)

The environment variables (Settings->EnvironmentVariables) are as follows

• CodeLiteDir=C:\Program Files\CodeLite
  UNIT_TEST_PP_SRC_DIR=C:\UnitTest++-1.3
  WXWIN=C:\wxWidgets-2.8.12
  PATH=$(WXWIN)\lib\gcc_dll;$(PATH)
  WXCFG=gcc_dll\mswu

If anyone can advise me how to get WxFormBuilder activated, I'd be most grateful!
Thanks in advance
Colin

Hi Colin,

wxFormBuilder.dll ist just the wrapper plugin to use wxFormbuilder. You have to download wxFormbuilder from http://wxformbuilder.org/ install it and set the path to it.

Hi Frank

Thanks a lot for the reply. I'd more or less reached the same conclusion as your post, but its really good to get it confirmed that I was on the right lines. Many thanks.
