Error compiling wxWidgets 64 bit

Question

I am trying to compile wxWidgets 2.8.12 with MinGW (64 bit version) on a Windows 7 64 bit machine.

To this purpose I have follow these steps http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-3.0.0-BETA/mingw64_how_to.html but when I do the make install-strip I get this error:

c:\\MinGW64\\bin\\x86_64-w64-mingw32-strip.exe: 'C:/msys64/local/lib/wxmsw28u_gcc_custom.dll': No such file make: * [install-strip] Error 1

Also, I have not found the lines in the wx-config that the tutorial says to change.

I get this response when I do the /configure http://pastebin.com/kcNcyNwF

What I'm doing bad? What Can I do to compile wxWidgets on 64 bit?

Answer 1

If possible, use wxWidgets 2.9 as 2.8 branch had been released long time ago and I'm not sure about the status of 64 bit support there. Eg wx-config should work out of the box with 2.9.

If you do need to use 2.8, then I think you can just ignore the error when stripping but check that plain make install worked, ie installed libraries and headers at the appropriate places. You can always run strip on them manually if really wanted.
