Build fails in release mode

Bryan Kelly 486

I am far from expert in VS so please be explicit
Windows 11, Visual Studio 2019, C++

Trying to learn wxWidgets. The basic Hello World file compiles in debug but not in release.
The first few lines look like this.

I have tried changing PATH, and the properties pages

For example wxprec.h is found here:

C:\WXWIDGETS\3.2.0\include\wx\wxprec.h

Environment variable WXWIN is set to C:\WXWIDGETS\3.2.0

What needs to be different?

Note that the project has different settings for debug & release configurations. Presumably you have the debug one's set correctly, but not the release.

Re: Presumably you have the debug one's set correctly, but not the release.

Why yes, that appears to be the problem. So where are those that need to be set for release mode?
I am far from a VS expert and need some detailed guidance.

Your screen shows shows your debug configuration - pick the release one from the combo box and then compare and contrast the differences you have.

Hi @Bryan Kelly ,

I found this question is similar to your previous question, could you please tell me what is the difference between the two questions?

Does this mean that for every solution a user creates, we must show the configuration, capture it with a screen capture, change the mode (debug to release or reverse), show the config again, and compare every detail?
There are multiple config dialogs so this will take significant time and be tedious.

As I explained in my posted answer you should be using the provided property sheet which would handle the situation that you describe automatically.

And the guidance from How to use wxMSW binaries -

"Using Binaries with Visual Studio

Next step is to set up your project to use these files: for this, simply add the provided wxwidgets.props file as a property sheet to your project. This can be done using View|Property Manager menu item in the IDE and selecting "Add Existing Property Sheet..." from the project popup menu.

Note: your project must use "Unicode Character Set" option.

Now you should be able to build and run your project successfully, both in "Debug" and "Release" configurations. Please note that during run-time the executables will require wxWidgets DLLs in addition to MSVC run-time DLLs, so you should consider adding the directory containing these DLLs to your PATH and either distributing them with your application or instructing your users to download them."

I tried replying to the reply from DavidLowndes-6766, but my post disappeared.

Re: Your screen shows shows your debug configuration - pick the release one from the combo box and then compare and contrast the differences you have.

That seems like for every project I will need to show each of the properties sheets in Debug, capture the images, then show each in Release mode and look for differences. That seems ridiculous so I presume there is something I don't understand about the reply.

The VS IDE allows you to select all configurations to be edited at once and indicates where there are differences between configurations by displaying <different options>.

This is my sample project that builds properly - wxBryan.zip

Delete directories from the lib leaving this

top level of VS

Property pages, selected view

Build -> Configuration Manager

Conclude with: Build -> Clean Solution, Build -> Build Solution
Same long list of LNK2001 errors.

I am really trying to get your instructions exactly right.

Can you successfully build the 32-bit debug configuration of the project that I shared for you?

Open the hello_world_10 project property page for Configuration Properties->Linker->General and set Show Progress as illustrated here -

After you have made the above change rebuild the project. Hopefully this will give us a clue as to where the linker is looking for its import libraries.

On my system the output produces was as follows. You can see the wxwidgets libs that the linker is searching.

I replied a while ago and was rejected saying too large. Shortened significantly, tried again, but the error was unrecoverable and had to exit completely. Will try again in a bit.
Meanwhile: you seem to have a project/solution working. Might it be possible to zip it up and email it.

Deleted many lines that look good. I did not see anything in the deleted section that referred to wxwidget anything. The next section begins the errors.
