wxnet for under $1000

Hi again,

So going through the windows build process I didn't want to use VS.net to
compile. I use SharpDevelop for C# and Dev-CPP for C++ and C development -
and *almost* have the wx-c and wx.net dlls compiling in these. I figure I
should share the directions so far so that people who haven't forked over
the $$ for visual studio and don't have access to a linux box can still
compile wxnet :) This uses free software.

In the build instructions, when you run into "open the sln file" ... stop!

Grab SharpDevelop if you don't have it, and use File->Import to load the
sln file. You'll get a warning that it can't load wx-c, that's fine
because we're gonna use Dev-cpp for that :)

Before you compile it you have to make sure it can find keys.snk - I just
copied it 2 directories up from the Bin directory, and then it was happy.

For wx-c, follow the instructions to set Dev-CPP up for compiling with
MinGW/wxWidgets here: http://www.wxwindows.org/devcpp.htm

Then create a new empty C project, and add all the cxx files from the wx-c
directory.

That's where I'm stuck at now, because I get some compiler errors -

149 C:\wxNET\wx.NET-0.5\Src\wx-c\app.cxx
invalid conversion from `int' to `
123 C:\wxWin\include\wx\msw\app.h
too few arguments to function `int
149 C:\wxNET\wx.NET-0.5\Src\wx-c\app.cxx
at this point in file

...but I think I'll have those gone in a little while :)

Hope this helps! I'm going through all this because I need wxTaskbarIcon...

Pete
