Building xLights

[keithsw1111]

I have wx and wxvc set to my wxwidgets folder. Leaving it there does not hurt ... I think it is used for visual c++ compiling of wx widgets in codeblocks which you wont be doing.

For your visual studio issues ... you need to set your header paths to wxWidgets and log4cpp

Me again. I might get this up and running eventually and I'll stop bugging y'all, well maybe not.

So project built just fine, woo hoo, but I get an error that the DLL doesn't exist. I checked the wxWidgets
\lib\gcc_dll folder and they are there. So I'm checking the compiler settings and the Linker correctly points to gcc_dll folder and it looks like I have everything setup just like the instructions say to have it. Should I have moved the DLLs to another place after they were build or registered them?

I did notice this though. On the compiler tab it notes to have a path to the contrib\include folder but there's no contrib folder.

Copy the DLL's into the "bin" directory.   That's what I did.

That did it! Thanks.

Now I do get this message but if I click no, xLights runs. Is this something I need to worry about?

So today's mystery. When I load the project in Code::Blocks the Global Variable Editor comes up with the Current Variable of wxvc. I never set that, just wx like the instructions. I've tried deleting it but it comes right back.

Sorry I've been out of town...like where there is no internet.   Did you get this going?  Don't delete that because it's part of the "current" set just switch the drop-down to "wx".

I did get it up and running. I get that message I posted last but when I click NO xLights runs fine as far as I can tell.  Now begins the task of poking through the code and seeing what I need to do to add my bits.
