About

This folder contains updated wxWidgets project wizard for Code::Blocks, to be used with PB’s Guide to Starting with wxWidgets on Microsoft Windows with MinGW and Code::Blocks. The changes affect only Microsoft Windows platform and (mostly) GCC compiler.

Notable changes from the wizard shipped with Code::Blocks 20.03

• Remove support for wxWidgets versions 2.6, 2.8, and 3.0.
• Add support for wxWidgets 3.2 and 3.3
• Allow linking with libraries introduced in wxWidgets 2.9, i.e., PropertyGrid, Ribbon, STC, and WebView.
• Allow linking with OpenGL for the monolithic build too.
• Do not ask whether to link with the 3rd party libraries (image formats, expat, regex, scintilla, zip), they are not needed for the DLL build and required for the static build.
• Link to gdiplus and msimg32 libraries when using static build of wxWidgets 3.3.
• Allow linking with Winsock2 instead of Winsock.
• By default, assume Unicode will be used and the generated application will be GUI instead of console one.
• Do not allow trying to use non-Unicode build of wxWidgets 3.3.

Installation

Put files wizard.xrc and wizard.script into your %APPDATA%\CodeBlocks\share\codeblocks\templates\wizard\wxwidgets folder (e.g., c:\users\PB\AppData\Roaming\CodeBlocks\share\codeblocks\templates\wizard\wxwidgets) and then just run the wizard as usual.

Or you can use batch file install.bat which will do that for you (and uninstall.bat to remove a custom wxWidgets project wizard).
