Can't compile wxWidgets

[Null]

Hello,
I'm tying to compile wxWidgets for Windows.
I downloaded wxMSW-2.9.1-Setup.exe and followed this tutorial http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=WxWindowsQuickRef
At first everything was fine but then I got these errors:


Compiler errors:

What could go wrong? And the most important thing is that I had to wait for an hour only to find out that this doesn't compile!

Thanks for help!

Here's what I did and it works fine with Code::Blocks WYSIWYG.

1. I go to wxwidgets download page and downloaded
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxMSW-2.8.11.zip

2. I read the INSTALL-MSW.txt that comes with the package. It says

Use the makefile.gcc files for compiling wxWidgets and samples,
e.g. to compile a debugging version of wxWidgets:
  > cd c:\wx\build\msw
  > mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug
  > cd c:\wx\samples\minimal
  > mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug
  (See below for more options.)

3. I compiled with this options.

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 UNICODE=1

4. Cheers!!

Notes:
1. I use Mingw compiler that comes with code::blocks.
2. It takes about 40 minutes to compile on my very old Pentium 4 1.7ghz
3. Disable your anti-virus when compiling.

If luck does not come with you, I'll upload it for you if you want to. Though it might take some time to upload 45mb

Unknown error in line ) ? This sound like you have a very old version of ld.exe, please use latest version of GCC compiler for windows and mingw-runtime for windows from http://tdragon.net/recentgcc/ or use visual studio 2010.

@blackcoder41: I'll try to do everything as you said. Maybe I got these errors because I was trying to compile version 2.9 (which isn't stable)

@modoran: No, my gcc-mingw isn't very old (4.4.0)
