Hi Im trying to build the WX modules of WXMax in blide.. and I get this error for example

►wx.wxframe was scheduled to next iteration
In file included from D:/PORTABLE/BlitzMax/mod/wx.mod/wxframe.mod/glue.h:24:0,
                 from D:/PORTABLE/BlitzMax/mod/wx.mod/wxframe.mod/glue.cpp:23:

Any Ideas?

Where did you download wx.mod ?

What is the MinGW version you are using ?

-Henri

[Hardcoal]

I downloaded it from brucey mods

https://libraries.io/github/maxmods

mingw version.. well how do i check it?

Im using blitzmax not blitzmax ng

[Henri]

How do I check MinGW version..

Run cmd and type gcc -v

Here is a more direct link to https://github.com/maxmods/wx.mod . Press the green Code button to download wx in zip file.

-Henri

[Hardcoal]

thanks henri . i did download it from there..

and the type gcc -v wrote me

C:\Users\Danny>type gcc -v
The system cannot find the file specified.
Error occurred while processing: gcc.
The system cannot find the file specified.
Error occurred while processing: -v.


[30 mins later update]

I downloaded the version from here https://code.google.com/archive/p/wxmax/downloads
and this one works..

[20 mins later again ]

ok blide did built 187 files besides 3 that it didnt..
but now when i compile i get this type of errors

@gcc error

That means that MinGW bin dir was not in your Windows path system variable,
which leads me to believe that MinGW is not installed by you (legacy has inbuilt MinGW).


@Build error

MinGW has two versions of exception models: dwarf and silj. Legacy bmax has inbuilt MinGW (old gcc 3.xx or something) that has dwarf model.
Old version of wx found at Google code needs older version of MinGW with silj model exceptions.

Ng has silj model gcc 8.xx by default.

You could try different MinGW versions with this installer found here https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/

Just use the 32-bit architecture (i686)

DISCLAIMER!
BEFORE DOING ANYTHING PLEASE BACKUP YOUR BMAX FOLDER!

Legacy bmax has a lib folder that contains all the libraries used to build modules. These are specific to MinGW version.
You have to build all the modules with the same version or there will be errors..

This whole MinGW testing would be lot easier if you downloaded the newest version of bmk at https://github.com/bmx-ng/bmk
By using this you don't need to replace the libraries in bmax lib folder for every MinGW change you want to test,
just rename the newly installed MinGW folder to MinGW32 and copy it to bmax folder and rebuild all modules.

Also,better to first compile default modules and test that they are working before trying to compile wx mod.

-Henri

[Hardcoal]

I downloaded the MinGw you offered.. so youre saying i only need to put it on the blitzmax folder?
no need installation?
than rebuild all modules?

also ive downloaded the bmk masters ..  but it needs compiling..
isnt there a compiled version made already?

sorry those things are beyond my knowledge.

anyway.. im experimenting and see what happen

[Henri]

Just compile the bmk.bmx as console app and not as a gui app and in release mode. Optionally you can also enable threading.
And as the website instructions say copy the resulting bmk.exe, make.bmk, custom.bmk and core.bmk to your bmax bin folder (do not overwrite anything, just rename the original so they are safe)

After this you can install MinGW to <your_bmax_folder>/MinGW32 or MinGWx86 (as in 32-bit).

Then you can try to rebuild your modules..
