What is the best and easiest way starting a new wxwidgets project in the idde?
Any advice would be very welcome.

Actually... I'm curious if there is anybody who use IDE of DMC with wxWidgets. I have it myself but had no time to try it out yet. Does it have import of makefile of make.exe or smake.exe? If yes, then you can at least generate initial project using bakefiles. I'm open and would be happy to incorporate DMC IDE project files support to bakefiles once I could be pointed out to IDE project file format specification (which IIRC is not available).

see Arjan's page with instructions : http://www.digitalmars.com/~arjan/

from 2.4.2 and 2.5x the patches are incorporated into the wxWidgets/wxWindows download

points 2,3,4 should be ignored

I don't think so. At least some of the files are binary :-(

I have built them by hand and the ide does work fine, but the debugger will happily work with files built by commandline

Yes... Arjan Knepper and Jan Knepper are using the IDDE with wxWindows / wxWidgets...
www.digitalmars.com/~arjan/
www.digitakmars.com/~jan/
Arjan build the project(s) to compile all the libraries with the IDDE.
Now we are porting our MFC class wrapper to wxWidgets so we can use wxWidgets and be MFC independent.

Great! I probably saw it in the past but forgot, sorry :-(

Anyway that's still a handmade projects, right? The building of the project file can't be automated and perform without ide available (in other words build into bakefiles)?

Do you use ability of mixing MFC and wxW during porting or do you do complete fresh rewrite ?

The .prj file is an ascii text file. You should be able to generate it.

No rewrite of the wrapper for wxW

So once I finish PCH issue, I will look into it. Thanks.

Thank you all for your help. What I have done is downloading the latest wxwidgets src. I compiled it using the incuded makefile.dmc. I had no problem doing this. I also have no trouble compiling the samples using makefiles. What I can't do is to compile for example the minimal sample using the idde. I have tried setting the include directories and all but in the end I just get alot of errors like below. I am missing one or more things. Could you please set me on the right track. I have not found a lot of info on the dm+wx combination on the internet. Is it a bad one? Should I stick with mingw for wx? I really like dm.

Seems the wxWidgets *.lib file is missing in the link stage.

Did you actually build the lib using the makefile in %WXWIN%/src/msw directory?
