POHow do I set up wxWidgets for Windows and CodeLite?

Body
copied!<p>I'm trying out a new setup. I'm on a 32-bit Windows 8 Pro laptop. I've downloaded MinGW-builds' GCC 4.8.1. I used it to compile LLVM & CLang (3.4+ from a SVN copy of the trunk). Both of those are in my PATH.</p> <p>I've downloaded CodeLite 5.2, which came with a copy of MinGW/GCC 4.7.1. I got the pure console tutorial example working, but I can't get the wxWidgets example working. (It's the <a href="http://codelite.org/LiteEditor/QuickStart" rel="nofollow" title="CodeLite, an open source, cross platform C/C++ IDE | LiteEditor / QuickStart">Quick Start</a>.) I downloaded & installed wxWidgets. (Always a good first step.) I built it with MinGW-4.8.1. I've read the error notes and added two (first local, now system) environment variables: <code>WXWIN</code> at "C:\wxWidgets-2.9.5" and <code>WXCFG</code> at "..\build\msw\gcc_mswud". (I initially thought <code>WXCFG</code> would be an absolute path, but it's based off of "<code>%WXWIN%\lib\</code>".) I moved my MinGW and LLVM builds out of "C:\Program Files" to "C:\" to avoid having a space in their paths.</p> <p>Here's the (still) error output when I build with F7:</p> <pre><code>C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c "mingw32-make.exe -j 2 -e -f Makefile" "----------Building project:[ Test1_2 - Debug ]----------" Please use the --wxcfg flag (as in wx-config --wxcfg=gcc_dll\mswud) or set the environment variable WXCFG (as in WXCFG=gcc_dll\mswud) to specify which configuration exactly you want to use.

(Should have sent the error on stderr instead of stdout?)</p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>After moving on to my actual work, I got errors and noticed that CodeLite is still using the MinGW 4.7.1 that came with the CodeLite download instead of using the 4.8.1 I downloaded. I probably messed things up by changing the search directories to my 4.8.1. I think I'm going to erase everything and start over....</p>
