Thanks very much Dalton for this very very useful tutorial.
One million thanks to Ben Jenkins for the right placement of ‘wx-config –libs”

Hey there =)
I’m following this tutorial, but i can’t get past this line “/configure –enable-debug –disable-shared –enable-unicode”
i read the comments on this, and i set the host as Ben said, but still, i get the configure command not found…any ideas? u.u
i’ve tried ruunning wxwidgets on java, but no luck so far, so i’m trying c++….i really need to work this out, i’d really thank you if you could help me! ; ;

Thanks for posting this. JAI is pretty good, but the documentation is horrible! It’s nice to find code snippets that do exactly what you need.

@ Ben Jenkins
Thank you very much for your last comment, I was stuck for an hour trying to figure out, why my netbeans configuration wouldn’t work.

@ Dalton
A big thank you goes out to you too, for writing this tutorial in the first place!

A few updates to the last comment:

- I redid the “configure” and enabled many more options. I also tried many more –host choices and settled on i686-mingw32

- In NetBeans, the `wx-config –libs` can only go into one place:

In Project, choose properties. Then, go to the linker section. Find the “Libraries” line and expand the “…” button. Click “Add Option” then choose the “Other Option” button. Enter `wx-config –libs` here.

After several days, ‘hello world’ compiles and links. These are all good systems but there so many options and platforms, that a detailed description needs to be written for each different setup. The general purpose setups suffer because of the lack of documentation. I thank you again for this best tutorial and am happy to contribute my own writing if wanted.

Thank you for writing this out! This is the only description I could find anywhere that actually showed how to set up wxWidgets *after* doing the installation.

Comments:

First, I am building the Hello World example, nothing custom or special.

- “configure” fails unless I set –host i386-mingw (miracle I figured this out — this option I could not find documented anywhere, even in ‘configure –help’).

- Easier than typing the wx-configure line, I added this to the compiler options:

`{full-path}/wx-config –cxxflags`

Note that these are backticks and NOT single quotes. This executes the command on the fly and is less error prone I feel. Similar option for linker is possible.

- step 13 is the breaking point. I did everything you said in every possible combination but I still get the ugly linker errors. I must need different options during configure, but what? Too many choices.

My setup: Windows 7 on intel i3, NetBeans 6.9, wxWidgets 2.8.11, MinGW 5.1.6, MSys 1.0.11 (I don’t think this is the latest version, but the newer versions don’t seem to include ‘make’ and NetBeans won’t work with MinGW’s make).

Comment on Javascript time validation explained by Chris Doan

I agree, many people, including myself would shy away with using regular expression for validation because the single statements look scary at first. But the author’s explanation helps me to understand it so I’ll use it in my web site since I like compact code.

Maiko, To use accents directly in your code you have to make sure that:

Your wxWidgets build supports unicode. Check the 5th step of the first part of the tutorial for more info;
You are using the _T or wxT macros. It is a good practice to always use one of these macros whenever you use literal strings because even if you use an ASCII only build, these macros will simply return the value you've passed;
You are using unicode codes for every non ASCII character. For example: instead of using "Ação", you must use _T("A\u00E7\u00E3o").

Oi achei o linker, atende pelo nome e vinculador. Essas versoes traduziadas de IDE é um horror, como voce ainda nao autorizou o post anterior, pode excluir.

So uma pergunta como habilitou o wxWidgets para mostrar acentos?

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.
