Hello

Am I correct in thinking that if I include a path in the include directory of the idde, that it will also search any folders in that directory as well or are they seperate include paths ??

The reason I ask is that when trying to compile a wxWindows app, it keeps complaining that it can find wx/wxprec.h, which is located in libs\wx.

but it just complains that it cant find or open this file, it does exist, as I have checked, my understanding was that even if it doesnt search subdirecories the wx/ should be enough anyway to tell it to look in that dir.

I do not get this problem from command line, and I have doubly checked the path is correct

any ideas ?

TIA

No wrong they are seperate paths

wxWindows has the habbit of doing includes like:
#include "wx/blahthehah.h"

When this file is located in includewxwx, you have to add the include -I<wxwin-path>\include

Good Luck

still trying from idde I have basically added all the defines from the makefile to the project.

added correct include paths now :)

all three files from project, dialogs.cpp, .h, .rc

added the include path for wx/wxprec.h

imported the shell32 file as well

but it is still moaning about missing defines, I basically cut and pasted them from the makefile so they should be ok.

Jan says that you have been building wxwindows from idde for ages now, please can you tell me what steps I am missing from above to build wxapps

Update figured out that I had forgotten to add the
-D__NT__ and -D_WINDOWS Defines

Ok this is as far as I have evver got building anything with wxWindows in IDDE but nowit is failing on these errors which appear to be in the wx headers, now I am pretty sure it is a bad thing to do to edit these files manually <g> so I guess there must bea way to surpress these errors somehow from IDDE ??

here are the errors only 5 this time <g>

Arjan
Thanks very much for this, I cant believe I never saw this link before I
must be blind, saying that I have not checked the site for a couple of
weeks, I have been battling with wxWindows and IDDE and c++ in general, some
people think I am mad not to learn C++ first then wxWindows, but my feelings
are why cant I do both? <g>, but this has been good for me, I have learnt
plenty about the similarities of the idde checkboxes and commandline flags,
defines etc.

Just one thing, the cvs sources now compile fine with makefiles even examples build ok, I believe Chris Elliot has been working on the makefiles for dmc and wxwindows.

One other thing, and this is not meant as a dig or criticism, but will these patch files not break wxWindows ?? I am just curious, as other compilers build without changing source files, however I prefer DMC to others I have used because of raw speed and the debugger is the most complete I have seen for any compiler, apart from it kills IDDE if you are watching variables quit from debugger to IDDE and then try debugger again, but since IDDE is so fast to load it isnt a worry.

One last thing and please dont take offence, but are you and Jan the same man ?? It is just I figured Jan might be a short for Arjan ? if you are then thanks for your help as Jan in previous posts.

Thanks
Yeric

Yes he has.

Not as long as you only use them for the 2.4.1 version.

 I am just curious, as other compilers

No that is bacause there were already lot of #define for those compilers already in the sources to make is wxWindows compile with those compilers. DigitalMars was not supported util shortly.

No but we are both build from the same "templates". Jan is my elder brother.
