Enabling Eclipse to compile and execute a wxWidgets applications is a non trivial task. These recommendations offer remedy to the situation.
The g++ command line should be modified as follows.
[codesyntax lang=”text”]
g++ `/usr/local/bin/wx-config --cflags` -std=c++11
[/codesyntax]
Of course if you wx-config script is in a different location you should make you entry reflect that location.
The linkage command line should be modified to reflect the following at the Miscellaneous input location.
[codesyntax lang=”text”]
`/usr/local/bin/wx-config --libs` -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem -lboost_date_time
[/codesyntax]
At a minimum my application support boost functions as listed.
The order of the command line flags must be modified to show the following order.
[codesyntax lang=”text”]
${COMMAND} ${OUTPUT_FLAG} ${OUTPUT_PREFIX}${OUTPUT} ${INPUTS} ${FLAGS}
[/codesyntax]
I have noticed that the Properties page for the project does not correctly reflect what is in the configuration “.cproject” configuration file. I would expect it to update correctly but is does not as of the writing of this article.
I will include the “.cproject” file in its entirety to assist in providing clarity on the requirements.
