Adding Custom wx-config script at Project Creation

Post by evstevemd »

I use multiple wxWidgets (2.8 for running applications and 2.9 for developing my apps). Now I want to be able to use custom described here during creating projects.
C::B have a way of defining WX global and you can use that at project creation. Is there a plan/workaround in CL than editing manually?
Thanks!

How is that relevant?

Assuming that I understood what you want correctly:

* create a wxWidgets project
* In "project settings | compiler" and the "project settings | pages" pages replace the 'wx-config' line from:
$(shell wx-config ...) into something like $(shell $(WXTOOL) ....)
* define the build configurations you want (wx_29_debug, wx_28_debug) or as many as you need
* For each build configuration (wx_29_debug, wx_28_debug etc), go to "Project Settings | Environment | Additional Environment variables" set the following variables
1) WXTOOL
2) WXWIN (needed for Windows)
3) WXCFG (needed for Windows)
to point to the one you want for that build configuration (in the format of: WXTOOL=/path/to/my/wxconfig)
* save this project as template

Create a new project using the template you have just created and from now on, use this template instead of the default wx one.

Note: there is a minor bug under Windows that the user templates are saved into the installation directory.. (if you are running under Windows with Admin privileges, it won't be a problem)
