Purpose

Files

• Attach:wxbuild_package_v2.8.9.zip

Details

1. Download the wxbuild_package_vX.X.X.zip. (See the Files section)
2. Download the wxWidgets source package for Windows from http://wxwidgets.org/downloads/. (Look in the Other formats: for the .zip download)
   1. Extract the wxWidgets source archive to any directory of your choice.
3. Extract the wxbuild_package into the wxWidgets root source directory.
4. Open a command prompt.
   1. Click Start->Run.
   2. Type cmd.
5. Change the directory to <wxWidgets_install_location>/build/msw
6. Type wxBuild_wxWidgets.bat. This will display all the settings that are available to be built. See wxBuild_wxWidgets.bat Usage below for more information.

Now just zip up the 'lib' directory. NOTE: Please remove *.ilk files if present.

Notes

• It is expected that MinGW v3.x is installed to C:\MinGW
• It is expected that MinGW v4.x is installed to C:\MinGW4

wxBuild_wxWidgets.bat Usage

 wxBuild_wxWidgets v1.09
    Build wxWidgets with the MinGW/Visual C++ Tool chains.

 Usage: "wxBuild_wxWidgets.bat <Compiler{MINGW|MINGW4|VCTK|VC71|VC80}>
    <BuildTarget{LIB|DLL|ALL|CLEAN|MOVE|NULL}> [Specific Option (See Below)]"

     Compiler Options:
          MINGW  = MinGW Gcc v3.x.x compiler
          MINGW4 = MinGW Gcc v4.x.x compiler
          VCTK   = Visual C++ 7.1 Toolkit
          VC71   = Visual C++ 7.1
          VC80   = Visual C++ 8.0

     BuildTarget Options:
          LIB   = Builds all the static library targets.
          DLL   = Builds all the dynamic library targets.
          ALL   = Builds all the targets (Recommended).
          CLEAN = Cleans the solution.
          MOVE  = Moves the binary files to a compiler specific directory.
                  This helps to allow for automated builds using compilers
                  from the same family. (ex. VC 7.1 and VC8.0))
          NULL  = Used so that you can specify a specific target. (See below)

     Specific Options(Used with NULL): 
          LIB_DEBUG, LIB_RELEASE, LIB_DEBUG_UNICODE, LIB_RELEASE_UNICODE,
           LIB_DEBUG_MONO, LIB_RELEASE_MONO, LIB_DEBUG_MONO_UNICODE, 
           LIB_RELEASE_MONO_UNICODE,

          DLL_DEBUG, DLL_RELEASE, DLL_DEBUG_UNICODE, DLL_RELEASE_UNICODE,
           DLL_DEBUG_MONO, DLL_RELEASE_MONO, DLL_DEBUG_MONO_UNICODE,
           DLL_RELEASE_MONO_UNICODE

     Examples:
          wxBuild_default.bat MINGW ALL
            Builds all targets with MinGW Gcc 3.x.x Compiler.

          wxBuild_default.bat MINGW4 ALL
            Builds all targets with MinGW Gcc 4.x.x Compiler.

          wxBuild_default.bat VCTK LIB
            Builds just the static libraries with Visual C++ 7.1 Toolkit.

          wxBuild_default.bat VC80 NULL LIB_RELEASE
            Builds only the release static library with Visual C++ 8.0 Compiler
