Wxwidgets Installation and demos compilation under Linux

Wxwidgets under Linux have WXGTK and wxX11 for use, each need GTK and X11 development environment;

Wxwidgets has WXGTK and wxX11 for use under Linux, but the GTK and X11 development environments need to be configured separately, and the development environment is configured as follows:

X11 installation (if you choose to use wxX11):

Apt-get Install Libx11-dev

GTK Installation (if you choose to use WXGTK):

Apt-get Install Gnome-core-devel #这将安装 Libgtk2.0-dev Libglib2.0-dev and other development-related library files

In the www.wxwidgets.org download WXGTK or wxX11, this is the Wxwidgets library, the following is the compilation method, in WXGTK for example:

TAR-ZXF wxgtk-2.8.11.tar.gz

CD wxGTK-2.8.11

./configure

Make

sudo make install

sudo ldconfig

Enter Wx-config--cxxflags to check if WXGTK is properly configured for installation

If you can see the path to the Wx-config header file, the configuration is successful.

Let me give you an example of how to compile the WXGTK program using Wx-config

The

Hello.cpp contents are as follows:

#include "wx/wx.h"

class Helloworldapp:public Wxapp
{
Public:
     virtual bool OnInit ();
Private:
    Wxbutton *button;
};


Implement_app (helloworldapp)

/* This was executed upon startup, like ' main () ' in Non-wxwidgets Programs */

bool Helloworldapp::oninit ()
{
    wxframe *frame = new Wxframe ((wxframe*) NULL,-1, _t ("Hello wxWidgets World");
    Frame->createstatusbar ();
    Frame->setstatustext (_t ("Hello World");
    button = new Wxbutton ((Wxframe *) frame,-2, _t ("123"));
    frame->show (TRUE);
    Settopwindow (frame);

    return true;
}

Perform compilation:
$ (wx-config --cxx)   hello.cpp  $ (wx-config --libs --cxxflags)  -O   Hello
Execute program:
./hello

Can see WXGTK window, feel also can, I do not map, more critical is, with Wx-config,makefile writing is also a lot easier, we can makefile by executing the shell to get the information including file and library file, As we can write at the beginning of makefile.

cxx:=$ (Shell Wx-config--cxx)

libs:=$ (Shell Wx-config--libs)

cxxflags:=$ (Shell Wx-config--cxxflags)

In the back you can use cxx as a compiler, using Libs as a connection library, with Cxxflags as the inclusion of the library use, but do not forget to use the $ (CXX), $ (Libs) and $ (cxxflags), so makefile writing is a lot easier. The specific makefile here will not write, or believe you understand.
