Problems link wxWidgets 3.0.2 in Window 8 using TDM 64 (GCC 4.9.2)

[lc]

Hi all,

I'm using wxWidgets with MinGW/TDM since wx version 2.8, almost without any problems.

Yesterday I downloaded the last version of TDM and wxWidgets to compile my project, and since then I'm having some problems. I always built the library with the commands:

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug SHARED=0 UNICODE=1

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=0 UNICODE=1

This time it doesn't work. It complained about the C++11. So I've changed to the following and it worked.

C:\wxWidgets-3.0.2\build\msw>mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug SHARED=0 UNICODE=1 CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11 -Wall

C:\wxWidgets-3.0.2\build\msw>mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=0 UNICODE=1 CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11 -Wall

After that, I tried to compile my project, but I'm facing some problems during the link stage. I've used the command below and the error message is:

Problem solved.

I've found this two sites, which recommends that -std=c++11 should be replaced by -std=gnu++11

Could you post the error message?
Code should compile cleanly in non-C++11 mode...

Sorry but you need to give us more details. wxWidgets 3.0.2 is definitely
supposed to build using C++98 compiler.

It's probably the same problem as http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/15793
and we still don't have any good solution for it. The workaround is, as
mentioned there, to use -std=gnu++11 instead of -std=c++11.

Thanks, so the problem is that HAVE_TYPE_TRAITS is defined, but the
compiler refuses to compile <type_traits> in non-C++11 mode. What I still
don't understand is how is it getting defined in the first place: it isn't
for me with gcc 4.9.1 (which also compiles any.cpp without any errors), so
I wonder if g++ added __has_include support in 4.9.2, resulting in
HAVE_TYPE_TRAITS being defined in wx/defs.h now.

Could you please check if this is the case? The simplest way to do it
would be to add -DHAVE_TYPE_TRAITS=17 to the compilation command line, you
should then get a warning about HAVE_TYPE_TRAITS being redefined with the
location of the place where this happens.

Thanks,

[lc]

OK, I'll try this. But where should I set HAVE_TYPE_TRAITS? I tried to append  in the command, but gcc  doesn't recognize it:

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=0 UNICODE=1 -DHAVE_TYPE_TRAITS=17

I also tried 

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=0 UNICODE=1 -D HAVE_TYPE_TRAITS=17

and

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=0 UNICODE=1 --debug HAVE_TYPE_TRAITS=17

but I don't received any usefull information (or I don't know where to look at).

Thanks

This is not gcc command line, this is make command line. I meant to just
copy and paste the gcc command line shown in your make output and append
-DHAVE_TYPE_TRAITS=17 to it. But you can also do it on make command line,
except in this case you need to use CPPFLAGS="-DHAVE_TYPE_TRAITS=17".

Sorry, while trying to understand why no warning appeared, I realized that
we have a guard checking whether HAVE_TYPE_TRAITS is already defined, so it

So this really must be why HAVE_TYPE_TRAITS is getting defined, I don't
see how else could this happen anyhow.

Anyhow, I've download TDM 4.9.2 now and I do see the problem. I think I've
fixed it now in 4f846f7, let's see if this doesn't break something else
before backporting it to 3.0...

Same issue happens here when I try to use the mingw-build gcc 5.2 to build wxWidgets 3.0.2, see my report here:

This was already backported as 2632977f6b6aa2f5c6254a69936ca288ace0560d
and will be part of 3.0.3 when it finally happens.
