Another Update of wxWidgets Project Wizard for Code::Blocks

Another update has been uploaded to the Code::Blocks forum. This release has couple of fixes and new features.

Changes:

• Supports Pre-compiled headers for BCC 5.5.1 and MSVC 8.
• Wizard CPP files have been modified to support PCH.
• "Use the debugging libraries" option have been disabled in Windows part. This option is no longer necessary (See screenshot below).
• DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE(); in main.h file has been changed to DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE() This is necessary to avoid error while compiling with BCC.
• msvcrt.lib has been added as /NODEFAULTLIB in Debug target of MSVC 8 to avoid warning messages in some cases.

Please Remember that PCH works well only when you have a large number of static headers to include and your project CPP files have consistent header declaration. So if you have fairly large project written in wxWidgets, you'll notice a Huge decrease in build time.

But improper use may increase Build time if the headers are not consistent. Regeneration of PCH will increase the build time .

Known Issues:

• PCH support does not work with MSVC 6 or 7.1
• wx_pch.h file is included in the CPP files and also force included in case of GCC and MSVC. I have kept the force include option as some devs want this to remain. To support Borland, wx_pch.h have been added to CPP files itself. In future this option will be modifed as per CB devs and other users decision.
