wxWidget在vs2005环境下下载，安装，编译

1.       什么是wxWidgets

wxWidgets lets developers create applications for Win32, Mac OS X, GTK+, X11, Motif, WinCE, and more using one codebase. It can be used from languages such as C++, Python, Perl, and C#/.NET. Unlike other cross-platform toolkits, wxWidgets applications look and feel native. This is because wxWidgets uses the platform's own native controls rather than emulating them. It's also extensive, free, open-source, and mature. Why not give it a try, like many others have?

      

2.       Visual Studio 2005下wxWidgets的下载、安装与配置

a)        下载：去http://wxwidgets.org/downloads/下载wxMSW版本的wxWidgets，下载下来的应该是一个exe的安装文件。

b)        安装：运行下载下来的安装文件，安装在D:/wxWidgets-2.8.0目录中。

c)         编译Debug版本的库：用Visual Studio 2005打开build/msw/wx.dsw文件，Solution Configurations中选中Unicode Debug，直接Build Solution就可以编译出Debug版本的wxWidgets库了。

d)        编译Relase版本的库：Release版本的wxWidgets库虽然也可以通过类似的方法去编译，但编译出来的库仍然依赖于visual studio 2005的运行时库。Debug版本的库依赖VS2005也就算了，反正是自己调试用的。Release版本可是要给别人用的，再带上一大堆dll就不好了。为了解决这个问题，我们需要先在Solution Configuration中选中Unicode Release，然后在Solution Explorer中，针对每一个project在项目属性的C/C++ --> Code Generation --> Runtime Library中选Multi-Threaded。(HOHO, 有20个项目要改属性啊~~~)。最后再Build Solution就可以了。

 

关于不同的Runtime Library的信息，可参见：

e)         Visual Studio 2005的配置：

打开Tools --> Options --> Projects and Solutions --> VC++ Directories

                        i.        在Include files中加入D:/wxWidgets-2.8.0/include

                      ii.        在Library files中加入D:/wxWidgets-2.8.0/lib/vc_lib

 

f)         基于wxWidgets的项目的配置：

打开项目属性

                        i.        Debug版本的配置：

C/C++ --> General --> Additional Include Directories中写入：D:/wxWidgets-2.8.0/lib/vc_lib/mswud

C/C++ --> Code Generation --> Runtime Library选Multi-Threaded Debug DLL

Linker --> Input --> Additional Dependencies写入：wxmsw28ud_core.lib wxbase28ud.lib wxtiff.lib wxjpeg.lib wxpng.lib wxzlib.lib wxregexu.lib wxexpat.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib comdlg32.lib winspool.lib winmm.lib shell32.lib comctl32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib rpcrt4.lib advapi32.lib wsock32.lib odbc32.lib

Linker --> Input --> Ignore Specific Library写入：LIBCMTD.lib

 

                      ii.        Release版本的配置：

C/C++ --> General --> Additional Include Directories中写入：D:/wxWidgets-2.8.0/lib/vc_lib/mswu

C/C++ --> Code Generation --> Runtime Library选Multi-threaded

Linker --> Input --> Additional Dependencies写入：wxmsw28u_core.lib wxbase28u.lib wxtiff.lib wxjpeg.lib wxpng.lib wxzlib.lib wxregexu.lib wxexpat.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib comdlg32.lib winspool.lib winmm.lib shell32.lib comctl32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib rpcrt4.lib advapi32.lib wsock32.lib odbc32.lib
