Problems with building wxPropertyGrid

[m***@gmail.com]

Hello,

I have problems with building wxPropertyGrid under Ubuntu 8.10. I
already asked the author Jaakko Salli, but unfortunately he has no
more idea.
I want to have a staic ansi release build of the wxPropertyGrid lib.
For this I built my own static ansi release wxWidgets version:

***@mspoerr-laptop:~/Desktop/propgrid/bneu$ wx-config --list

Default config is gtk2-ansi-release-static-2.8

Default config will be used for output

Alternate matches:
gtk2-ansi-debug-static-2.8

***@mspoerr-laptop:~/Desktop/propgrid/bneu$

I am able to build small wxWidgets apps and all samples. When trying
to build wxPropertyGrid, I get the following errors:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration for PROPGRID 1.4.4 successfully completed.
Summary of main configuration settings for PROPGRID:
- RELEASE build
- ANSI mode
- STATIC mode

The wxWidgets build which will be used by PROPGRID 1.4.4
has the following settings:
- RELEASE build
- ANSI mode
- STATIC mode
- VERSION: 2.8.10
- PORT: gtk2

Now, just run make.

I seems, that the lib was created, becasue I get a
libwxcode_gtk2_propgrid-2.8.a file, but when working with this lib, I
get lots of linker errors.

Does anyone have an idea, what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

I want to have a staic ansi release build of the wxPropertyGrid lib.

As usual with static libraries, ensure that you list the libraries you
link with in the correct order, i.e. that libraries containing the
dependencies come after the libraries referencing them.

E.g. this error will typically happen if core library appears before the
pg one on your linker command line.

In the sample app only the wxPropertyGrid lib is additionally linked
(as far as I know). How would you change the order? Have you any tipps
or should I try...

Thanks,

thank you for your answer. My wx-config --libs output is the

`wx-config --libs` should be correct but where do you put pg library
compared to it? It should precede it.

 `wx-config --libs` should be correct but where do you put pg library
compared to it? It should precede it.

First I added it to the "LDADD" option in kdevelop, but now it's the
first entry in "Linker Flags (LDFLAGS)" Option and IT WORKS!

Vadim - thank you very much for your help!
