New to Codelite - how to prepare MinGW/WxWidgets

Hello,

I'm totaly new to Codelite, and have problems setting the environment up.
I have WIndows 11.
Codelite has been installed using the binaries in d:\Program Files\Codelite and works perfectly.

I downloaded the MinGW64 binaries (so no custom build) and installed them in D:\Compilers\mingw64.
I added the /bin directory to the PATH environment variable: D:\Compilers\mingw64\bin. Running gcc or g++ from a cli runs perfectly.

So far so good, but now the problems start:
when running Codelite with the setup wizard, it says: "could not locate any MinGW compiler installed on your machine ...".

Furthermore I downloaded the WxWidget binaries (so no source, but from gcc compiler) and have put them in d:\wxwidgets\bin (for the DLL's) and \include (for the header files). What do I have to put in WXWIN and WXCFG environment variables?

Many thanks in advance,
Frederik.
