Compiler errors with first use of wxCrafter

Post by **root** » Sun Jan 26, 2020 2:19 am

I compiled wxWidgets with MinGW-8.1.0. That's the same compiler I have setup for CodeLite and wxCrafter. So I created a GUI app, switched over to the wxCrafter designer and dropped a few buttons on the form. When I ran it, I got this:

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /C ""C:/Program Files/mingw-w64-8.1.0/mingw64/bin/mingw32-make.exe" -j8 SHELL=cmd.exe -e -f  Makefile"

mingw32-make.exe[1]: Leaving directory 'H:/CodeLite/C++/GUI-Stuff/wxTest'
====0 errors, 0 warnings====

The file the compiler says isn't there is there.

Here are my environment variable settings.

I hope someone can tell me what I did wrong.

Can you try and run the failed command from a CMD terminal?

Code: Select all

"C:/Program Files/mingw-w64-8.1.0/mingw64/bin/windres.exe" -i "H:/CodeLite/C++/GUI-Stuff/wxTest/win_resources.rc" --use-temp-file --define __WXMSW__ --define _UNICODE --include-dir C:/wxWidgets-3.1.3-8.1.0/lib/gcc_lib/mswu --include-dir C:/wxWidgets-3.1.3-8.1.0/include    -o ../build-Debug/wxTest/win_resources.rc.o

The problem is not with windres, its with the paths provided

Hey eranif.

I did as you asked and it failed in the terminal too:

Code: Select all

H:\CodeLite\C++\GUI-Stuff\wxTest>"C:/Program Files/mingw-w64-8.1.0/mingw64/bin/windres.exe" -i "H:/CodeLite/C++/GUI-Stuff/wxTest/win_resources.rc" --use-temp-file --define __WXMSW__ --define _UNICODE --include-dir C:/wxWidgets-3.1.3-8.1.0/lib/gcc_lib/mswu --include-dir C:/wxWidgets-3.1.3-8.1.0/include    -o ../build-Debug/wxTest/win_resources.rc.o
C:/Program Files/mingw-w64-8.1.0/mingw64/bin/windres.exe: CreateProcess (null): No such file or directory

But the file is there.

Are there other Environment Variables I need to declare besides the ones shown in my original post here?

IIRC, windres.exe has issues with spaces (like: C:\Program Files)
Have you tried moving MinGW folder to another location?

Like: C:\MinGW ?

I moved MinGW from C:\Program Files to C:\.

Then I deleted wxWidgets and built them with the compiler i just moved.

Next, I changed my settings in CodeLite, running Setup Wizard again to find the new location of the compiler (MinGW-w64-8.1.0).

Then I created a completely new wxWidgets app and ran it. Then I cried like a baby!

But the file is there.

I hope you can help me get this fixed. I think your IDE is awesome, but this is a deal killer. And I checked the wxWidgets build with Code::Blocks. Runs without a glitch. So I know this is a config issue that has to be resolved within CodeLite. But I don't know what that would be.

PS - I didn't really cry...but I came close to it

You are missing the Windows UxTheme library (not wxWidgets related)
Right click on the project -> project settings -> linker -> libraries

and add:

"UxTheme.lib"

Post by **root** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 5:33 pm

Getting closer, eranif.

I added uxtheme.lib like you said, ran it and got it down to one error.

The theme looked for, luxtheme.lib, isn't even on my drive. And I cldn't find it on Google either. Being new to C++, I'm kind of at a loss as to why my compiler is looking for a library that apparently doesn't exist.

Post by **eranif** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 5:56 pm

add it without the .lib suffix:

like this:

Code: Select all

uxtheme

Post by **root** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 6:15 pm

I added it as you said:

Now I'm back to 162 errors. I don't get it. I mean I'm using the same wxWidgets build, with the same compiler, with C::B and I get no errors.

So far, I've tried

Code: Select all

uxtheme

and

Code: Select all

uxtheme.lib;uxtheme

and

Code: Select all

uxtheme.lib

And none of them work. Makes no sense. I guess this just isn't meant to be for me. And I prefer your IDE. Just can't get the GUI end of things to work.

its not the IDE, its the toolchain.
CodeLite does not link nor compile your code.
