Revision 6 of Modified wxWidgets Project Wizard of Code::Blocks

Revision 6 of wxWidgets Project wizard is now available. This revision comes with several new features.

Changes:

  • Added support (partial) for Linux and Mac (Untested). It's now possible to select different wxWidgets version present in Linux system.
  • Added option to select Static/Dynamic, ANSI/Unicode build of wxWidgets in Linux.
  • Added option to select Application Target Type in Windows (For Advanced users only)
  • Wizard now checks the presence of wx configuration, selected for project, precisely in Windows. Expect almost No false warning.
  • Couple of minor fixes and code clean-up.


New options available in Linux


Check the Highlighted option to change target type


Change Target Type here, but be cautious.

Tested in:

  • OpenSUSE 10.2 with GCC 4.1.2, wxGTK-2.6.3 & 2.8.0 Dynamic-(Debug/Release)-Unicode-Monolithic build of lib.

Known Issues:

  • Does not check the presence of wxWidgets lib in Linux system. So be careful to select correct lib configuration otherwise the generated project will fail to compile.
  • Checked with Monolithic builds in Linux; it may give you trouble if you are using non-monolithic builds in Linux.

Important Note:
Please be careful while changing Target Type. For GCC there shouldn't be any problem. But with BCC you'll have to manually change some compiler settings otherwise it won't link.

The new features may come with Gift of Hidden Bugs. Please share that gift once you get that. Wink Download the latest release from the following link.
