Building wxWidgets via Visual Studio sln files -> "custom" suffix?

[Andrea Gavana]

Hello wxWidgets users,

    I would like to preemptively say that I know almost nothing about C++, much less about Visual Studio. 

I am trying to build wxWidgets on Windows 10 64 bit using the provided Visual Studio sln solutions.

After the build is finished, I get DLLs with a "_custom" suffix. Is there a way *not* to have that suffix using the sln files?

My apologies in advance for the dumb question.

Thank you.

Andrea.

Hi, I cannot answer the exact question, but I also use wxWidgets with
the Visual Studio compiler under Windows 10 64 bit. I do not use the
provided .sln solutions for building wxWidgets, instead I use the
provided nmake file and find it much easier.

Here is my script for doing that
https://github.com/arnholm/cpde_3rdparty/blob/master/msvc/build_wx.cmd

This builds static libraries, but you can build DLLs by setting
SHARED=1. There are no "_custom" suffixes this way.

Hi,

the "_custom" part is the so-called vendor, which for the non-official builds defaults to just "custom" (it's empty in the official binaries).

If you want to change it when using provided MSVS solutions, follow the instructions here:

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. Apparently I forgot that I didn’t need this when building wxPython, it’s taken care of already - assuming it will ever build. But good to know 😊.

Andrea.
