RE: Compilation issues after updating wxWidgets via vcpkg

Hi,

This is now resolved - my employer uses a custom wxWidgets, which was the source of the issue. The solution is so user-specific that there's no point in me sharing it here.

Many thanks to those who tried to help.

Take care and have fun.

Tim

Sure, I can help.

First, let's make sure I understand your build environment.  From the error message you posted, it looks like you're using MSVC on Windows, correct?

You also wrote:

When using wxWidgets from vcpkg, you should not have your own setup.h, but you should be using the one installed by vcpkg.

If, for some reason, you need a customized build of wxWidgets and still want to use vcpkg mechanisms with your own customizations, that is also possible by using an "overlay port".  However, I would try using the one provided by vcpkg first to avoid the extra work.

I recently had a new project using wxWidgets from vcpkg:
<https://github.com/LegalizeAdulthood/odeint-example>
There are working builds for Windows, macOS and linux for that:
<https://github.com/LegalizeAdulthood/odeint-example/actions>

In that example, I used vcpkg as a git submodule checked out at the tag 2025.09.17.  (I tend to checkout vcpkg at specific tags because those are considered "stable" versions.)  That gave me wxWidgets 3.3.1.
