Retrieving the settings
Before you can compile wxWidgets programs, you need to know which settings to use.
Retrieving the settings on Windows
To retrieve the settings on windows, open up MinGW (assuming you have followed my MinGW/MSYS instructions. You may have to change things a little for cygwin). Then change to your wxWidgets folder:
cd $WXWIN
Retrieve the compile settings:
./wx-config --cxxflags
And the build settings:
./wx-config --libs
Note: For cut'n'paste just mark the lines with your mouse, they are automatically copied into the clipboard. Just push "Ctrl-V" in another application to paste.
Retrieving the settings on Mac OS X
If you have Mac OS X 10.4 or higher, it comes preinstalled with wxWidgets. Just open up a terminal and type:
wx-config --cxxflags
for the compile settings and
wx-config --libs
for the build settings. In OS X, mark your text with the mouse, then use Apple-C to copy it to the clipboard, and in your target application use Apple-V to paste it.
