wxWidgets - choosing debug vs. release

[Navid]

I apologize if this is a repeat question, but I was unable to locate this topic again.

I am using wxW 2.8.9 and MingW 5.1.4 tool chain in CL 1.0.2759 on Windows XP Pro SP3. Probably 99.99~% of the time when I have a bug, it is in my own code rather than in wxWidgets. The debug release of my project links against the debug release of wxWidgets (the WXWIN and WXCFG environment variables are set up properly).

How can I link my own code's debug release against the release build of wxWidgets so that I do not always enter into the wxWidgets code when debugging?

Thanks in advance!

i have the same problem. does anybody know the solution??
thanks
what would it be environment variable? i have just changed 2.8.7 to 2.8.9 :=) because those files are in same folder(c:\) do i need to do anything else?

You can try and change the linker/compiler options from the project settings.

In the linker options (linker tab) change:

Code: Select all

$(shell wx-config --debug=yes --libs --unicode=yes);

into

Code: Select all

$(shell wx-config --debug=no --libs --unicode=yes);

In the compiler options, change:

Code: Select all

$(shell wx-config --cxxflags --unicode=yes --debug=yes)

to

Code: Select all

$(shell wx-config --cxxflags --unicode=yes --debug=no)

This will make sure that your code will link against the debug version of WX

Hi!

I made a wxWidgets project under Win XP and I couldn't debug it. I checked the build/configuration manager: workspace configuration was debug and checked the linker/compiler options from the project settings. It identical with Eranif's lines.

The debugger don't stop at the breakpoint. When I chose a simple (hello world) project, the debugger works!



Have you got any idea?

Thank you very much!

Of course I installed the codeline with wxWidgets.

- make sure you are building the 'Debug' configuration
- make sure you have -g enabled
- try to rebuild your workspace and paste the 'Build' log here

I left everything options on default.

This is a known issue for GDB, dont place your workspace in the paths with space in the name.

'C:\Program Files' , you will probably get an error like:
Function "C" is not defined or something like this.

Move your workspace to another location: 'C:\devl'
