install wx-widgets在优胜美地上让我发疯

Question

I'm on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. As far as I know, wx-widgets were preinstalled on older versions on OS X (probably that's why google search doesn't help), but that's not the case anymore. I need to get started on a C++ project using wx-widgets, using any IDE (Eclipse, Codelite, or whatever is best). However, I simply cannot get wx-widgets to work. After a workaround I was able to compile on my machine wxWidgets-3.0.2. I called from terminal make and make install, but the libraries seem to not be correctly installed. Indeed, if I create a project on Codelite I get many "wx-config: Command not found" errors. Can someone help me to get me started on installing the libraries and creating a simple project that includes wx-widgets?

Answer 1

I use homebrew which is installed by copying and pasting one line from the homebrew website .

Then, the installation of wxWidgets is simplicity itself with:

brew install wxmac

Any problems, you just call the doctor with

brew doctor

Now you have a proper package manager you can install ImageMagick, GNU Parallel, GNU awk, Oxygen, webkit2html, zeromq, tree, SDL, Redis, sqlitebrowser, pandoc, exiftool, ffmpeg, 7zip, awscli, etc...

You can then compile your wxWidgets programs with

g++ `wx-config --cxxflags` -o sample sample.cpp `wx-config --libs`

Answer 2

I can successfully compile and install wxWidgets on Yosemite with these commands:

- Get the latest sources of wxWidgets 3 from wxwidgets.org and unpack them.
- Move the unpacked directory someplace where you want to keep it.
- Open a terminal and change into the wxwidgets directory.
- Create two directories: build-release and build-debug (don't rename those!)
- Change into wxwidgets/build-release
- Run 
  ../configure --with-osx_cocoa --disable-shared --with-opengl --enable-universal-binary=i386,x86_64 --with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk --with-macosx-version-min=10.6
- Run make, then sudo make install
- Change into wxwidgets/build-debug
- Run 
  ../configure --enable-debug --with-osx_cocoa --with-opengl --enable-universal-binary=i386,x86_64 --with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk --with-macosx-version-min=10.6
- Run make, then sudo make install

Be aware that these instructions are for compiling against the Mac OS X 10.6 SDK, which I have at /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk . You can try to omit the --with-macosx-sdk parameter altogether, which will compile using the latest SDK. Also ensure that you have Xcode and the command line developer tools installed.

These commands will install static libraries for the release build and shared libraries for the debug build. You can change this by supplying or omitting the --disable-shared parameter.

Answer 3

The instructions for building and installing wxWidgets are included in the distribution and can also be viewed online .

If your IDE doesn't find wx-config , you must not have the location where you installed it ( /usr/local/bin ) by default in your PATH . Add it there to fix this.

Answer 4

Like suggested by VZ, you must change your PATH.

But not the variable PATH in your environment Windows but the variable PATH in your C++ project. It's strange but maybe it's different.

Go into (for eclipse) : C/C++Build->Environment->PATH (add the path of wx-config in the beginning).

Press : Apply, OK and build the project.

I think is strange that Eclipse don't update the PATH after rebooting the OS. Maybe we must add an option to Eclipse for building WxWidget and force Eclipse to update the PATH, but I don't know it.

This change work for me.

Eclipse / MinGW-MSYS / WxWidget 2.8
