thanx for this tutorial! Great work. Just one remark. Executing wx-config I got pathnames without /c/. So I have just to prepend the wxWidgets installation path before copying the path into the netbeans configuration.

Natty,

This is usually a lib configuration problem. Try removing all the lib configuration and compile it again. If you get the same error, the libraries weren’t configured correctly.

any idea?

Note: this tutorial was updated as of May 18th on the 13th item of the second list. I realized that if you don’t replace all occurrences of /c/ by C\:/ the include directories won’t be considered.

Biffy,

Thank you very much for your input. That step was about adding a new option to your makefile to allow wxWidgets’ linker options to be used at link time, but now I’ve found a better way that does not require you to modify any makefile, so the guide will be updated to reflect this new method.

EDIT: The guide was updated as of March 1st.

I really want to start developing Windows Applications using C++, NetBeans and wxWidgets. Having followed this guide I dont seem to be getting anywhere.

For a tutorial that started off being rather informative, I think you’ve got lazy at the end. Step 13 especially makes no sense to me and I dont have a clue what to do there. If you’d be able to clear up that step I could give you the error messages that I get.

I’m running Vista Ultimate, NetBeans 6, wxWidgets 2.8.7 which compiles fine using your steps

PS: I’ve overwritten the Vista GCCs as your guide says but that doesnt help
