linking issues with wxWidgets applications in latest version

Post by ultrajunkie »

I am coding under Windows 10 using wxWidgets and Codelite 15.0.8. Recently I wanted to start a new application from one of the templates, but the build was not successful (error: " lib wxmsw31u_qa not found").

I then tried with an old application which had built without issues in a previous version of Codelite. Result: same problem.

Further investigation led me to the point that the linker option $(shell wx-config --libs) seems to react differently adding the qa library although it doesn't exist in my wxWidgets build (somebody told me that it would only come with MSVC). When I add the list of libraries manually, linking works fine again.

Where I am currently stuck is finding the location where this list of libs is defined/maintained. The source code of wx-config on Github doesn't include the qa library...

Enlightenment would be more than welcome
