In dev-c++ do you have all of your libraries, etc. set up in the Project
Options section???

Also, check your compiler options under tools to make sure you are calling
the correct compilers. (You did install GNU c++ compilers, yes?)

Hello,

I have this question some time back, but never got a solution to the
problem. I am trying to use WxWindows with DevC++. To do this, I downloaded
DevC++ Beta 8 and the DevPak for WxWindows 2.4 (Approx 6.4 Mb). I created a
new project and the template creates 2 files called base.h and base.cpp (I
have attached these files)

When I compile these files the first time, I get many compiler errors. The
first one points to a line that says
#include "backward_warning.h"
The error says
31 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\backward\iostream.h
In file included from C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/backward/iostream.h

If I say complie again, thenm it begins to link the file and then gives 2
errors
\Dev-Cpp\Bin\..\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\3.2\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe
C:\Dev-Cpp\C
cannot find -lwxmsw
C:\Dev-Cpp\Makefile.win
[Build Error] [temp.exe] Error 1

If I go again to Execute> Syntax I get all the compiler errors again.
I have no idea what is hapenning here.

I used to have the same problem with the WxWindows 2.29 DevPak. I finally
gave up. I would really like to get started on my dream application, but at
the same time, I don't have the $$$ to buy VC++. BTW, Dev C++ works
perfectly in VC++ in my office.

Please can someone help.

Thank you,

- Sid

Thanks for your help mike. I managed to get the problem solved elsewhere.
Where?
Here -> http://g.yi.org/forum/read.php?f=13&i=191&t=191

There are some very helpful people there who managed to solve my 2 month
problem. Now I am free to code away.

Huraaay.
