Windows上的wxWidgets + Cygwin

Question

I am trying to install wxWidgets on Windows.

I unzipped wxWidgets and then followed this guide: http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Adding_an_Environment_Variable_under_Windows

I copied their sample hello world source code and tried to compile it using g++ but it tells me wx/wx.h No such file...

I am new to C++. Am I doing it right? I followed the guide exactly.

PS: I use cygwin + notepad++

With Cygwin you need to:

1. Build wxWidgets using configure and make , see the appropriate section of docs/msw/install.txt in your wxWidgets installation.
2. Optionally install it using make install .
3. Use wx-config --cxxflags --libs when compiling your code, just as under Unix (because Cygwin is Unix).

PS If you're new to C++ you're unlikely to find Cygwin the most newbie-friendly environment.
