wxWidgets and MinGW

[esberitoxn]

I have compiled wxWidgets with MinGW (g++) in Windows XP. (I am now able to compile all samples with its associated makefiles.)

I have written an own program with C++ and wxWidgets. In Linux it works to compile this program with my own makefile (and I use wx-config --cxxflags and wx-config --libs in my makefile). But when I tried to compile it in Windows with MinGW serveral errors have occured.

Here is an extract of these errors (all errors are from the same type):

In file included from e:/Editoren/wxMSW-2.8.7/include/wx/string.h:55,

It would be nice if someone can help me to compile my program under Windows.

Did you move the setup.h file into the "includes" directory from it's compiled Lib directory?

[esberitoxn]

No I didn't moved the setup.h.

But because of your reply I tried to do it. I moved setup.h. But the result was the same.

But on executing wx-config --cxxflags I get the same paths as in the makefiles associated to the samples. ThereforeI didn't have an idea how to compile my own program.

[Zaita]

Can you show us your code, and the line you are executing to compile it?

[esberitoxn]

I am sorry for the late answer. But here is a link to a file with my code and the makefile:

Perhaps you can help me?
