Build wxWidgets applications in Ubuntu

今天准备把原来的项目迁移到ubuntu下，之前用到的wxWidgets库一直装不上，后来查了相关资料才解决了问题，这里分享一下安装的
版本号记得替换一下，比如 安装wxWidgets3.0.2 需要 libxgtk3.0-dev 等
在教程中有个地方挺坑的
$(shell wx-config --cxxflags)
这个是一个EL表达式，表示取shell中运行 wx-config --cxxflags 的结果值

wx-config 是在wxWidgets的根目录下

Today I spent 5+ hours in this problem so I think it is worth to write down my experience here...

I just started to play with Linux and the open source C++ IDE CodeLite. The IDE and wxWidgets library looks great, and the Linux platform is becoming
more and more user friendly today. So I tried to build an application with CodeLite (2.1.3584) in Ubuntu (9.10).

I tried to build a wxWidgets application in Windows before. According to this article the
thing is quite easy. However, I didn't expect it is so difficult to do the same thing in Linux (simply because I can't find a similar article on Internet). I googled again and again but didn't find much stuff useful.

Here is instructions I used:

1. Install wxWidgets package: sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev

2. Install build essentials package: sudo apt-get install build-essential

3. Create a link for "/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx" to "/usr/include/wx", or copy the directory over

4. Create a link for "/usr/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8/wx/setup.h" to "/usr/include/wx/setup.h", or copy the file over

5. Open CodeLite IDE, create a project using wxWidgets template

6. Modify the default project settings to:

complier options: -g;$(shell wx-config --cxxflags)

linker options: -mwindows;$(shell wx-config --libs)

7. Complie and run

Without step 6 you may see following errors:

No config found to match: /usr/bin/wx-config --cxxflags --unicode=yes --debug=yes in /usr/lib/wx/config

No Target! You should use wx-config program for compilation flags!

It's because there is no debug library exists in /usr/lib/wx/config. By default there is only release+unicode builds.
