Finally got WxWidgets compiled without errors.
When trying to build Audacity I get a load of errors:
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'wx/setup.h': No such file or directory
Steps that I took before attempting to build:
Added to environment variables:
Variable Name: WXWIN
Variable Value: C:wxWidgets-2.8.12
Closed all three of the dialogs, close the control panel and rebooted.
Copy c:wxWidgetsincludewxmswsetup0.h
to c:wxWidgetsincludewxmswsetup.h
Did NOT change any of the #defines
Built WxWidgets:
Debug
Release
Unicode Debug
Unicode Release
DLL DLL Debug
DLL Release
DLL Unicode Debug
DLL Unicode Release
Copied dll’s as required from C:wxWidgets-2.8.12libvc_lib to C:wxWidgets-2.8.12libvc_dll
All 7 builds completed successfully with no errors.
SVN Checkout to C:Documents and SettingsMy Documentsaudacity
Created folder C:Documents and SettingsMy DocumentsaudacitywxLibsUnicode Release
Copied the following files into that folder:
wxbase28u_net_vc_custom.dll
wxbase28u_vc_custom.dll
wxmsw28u_adv_vc_custom.dll
wxmsw28u_core_vc_custom.dll
wxmsw28u_html_vc_custom.dll
Double clicked on audacity.sln
Set “Build > Configuration Manager > Active solution configuration” to “Unicode Release”.
Then,
“Build > Build Solution”
I get several hundred errors of the type:
C:wxWidgets-2.8.12includewx/platform.h(196) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'wx/setup.h': No such file or directory
There are 2 places where setup.h can come from. Initially it is in wxWidgets-2.8.12includewxmsw and is called setup0.h the wxWidgets approved solution is to copy it (right in the folder where it resides) and rename the copy from setup0 - copy.h to setup.h. This preserves the original in case you mess up the working version.
The Audacity solution is to copy winwxWidgets_additionssetup.h to wxWidgets-2.8.12includewxmswsetup.h.
Sometimes you will still get errors like:
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'wx/setup.h': No such file or directory
This is a bug/feature of the free version of MS C++ Express. If you get these errors post here with explicit details and I will help fix the problem. You can read all about this on the wxWidgets forum: http://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=255
it is the first item on the FAQ.
It is not quite identical; in two places a zero becomes a one. If you look at lines 1044-1050:
// Use wxAccessible for enhanced and customisable accessibility.
// Depends on wxUSE_OLE.
//
// Default is 0.
//
// Recommended setting (at present): 0
#define wxUSE_ACCESSIBILITY 1 // Turn it on for Audacity.
and then lines 1110-1111:
// Define 1 to use ODBC classes
#define wxUSE_ODBC 1 // Turn it on for Audacity.
First off, are we sure wxWidgets compiled successfully? Open WXWINlibvc_dll and make sure all the needed DLLs are there. You are talking about compiling Audacity here, right?
This might be the culprit–you must click OK in all those windows, not close them.
Next make sure the system environmental variable WXWIN is set correctly. One way to tell is to run VC++ and open AudacityApp.cpp, look at line 26:
#include <wx/defs.h>
right-click on “defs” – a context menu will allow “Open Document…” – try it–if it does not have the option or the header does not open the WXWIN variable is bad.
If these don’t help you I will need you to copy the output window contents and send me the text. I will need to see the whole thing, not just a snippet with the error.
Sorry, my bad. I “closed” them by clicking the “OK” button.
If I go back into the Environment Variables I have listed:
Variable: WXWIN
Value: C:wxWidgets-2.8.12
Yes as far as I know. The final output for each of “debug, Release, Unicode Release …” said “0 Errors”.
In case it helps, when I try to build Audacity, this is the output:

Audacity - 230 error(s), 3 warning(s)
========== Build: 1 succeeded, 5 failed, 18 up-to-date, 1 skipped ==========
Start VC++ to compile Audacity and open lib-srcFileDialogFileDialog.h; look at line 24: #include “wx/defs.h”
right-click for the context menu and open defs.h; look at line 21: #include “wx/platform.h”
right-click for the context menu and open platform.h; look at line 196: #include “wx/setup.h”
right-click for the context menu to open it–did it open?
If not use Windows’ Window Explorer to open C:wxWidgets-2.8.12includewxmsw and look for setup.h–is it there. If not put it there. If it is then we have a problem with include path VC++ is using. From what I understand, this is a trick MS uses to get you to buy the full version of MS Visual Studio. VC++ has a built-in set of include paths it uses, MS VS keeps adding to them but Express needs to be taught. Let me know if setup.h was there and if so I will step you through the process of teaching Express how to find things.
If it did open then let me know and we will go from there. The process will be similar to the previously mentioned process.
Oh, and just to make life miserable, VC++ can say it built with no errors and still fail. You must open the vc_dll folder and make sure all 5 of the Audacity required libraries were built.
If so, then yes they were built and I copied them to:
C:Documents and SettingsMy DocumentsaudacitywxLibsUnicode Release
before attempting to build Audacity.
It’s late now, I’ll have to try this tomorrow if I get time.
Thanks for the support Edgar.
Yes, those look good, though you really want them in:
C:Documents and Settings<user name>My DocumentswxLibsUnicode Release
(note: they will NOT be in the audacity folder). These are your “working” copies which you will copy into any newly checked out SVN HEAD’s /win/ folder (and you will do so by copying the entire
C:Documents and Settings<user name>My DocumentswxLibsUnicode Release
folder into
C:Documents and Settings<user name>My Documentsaudacitywin
This will make more sense when you are building a Unicode Debug as well as Unicode Release version and way more sense if you build Debug and Release as well.
As I recall you went to a lot of trouble to get me compiling on Linux so I guess no good deed goes unpunished , thanks!
Each one opened up until #include “wx/setup.h” which did not open.
That’s crap, there’s a big long error message and I can’t copy it.
The error begins:
File ‘wx/setup.h’ not found in current source file’s directory or in build system paths.
Current source file path: ‘C:wxWidgets-2.8.12includewx’
Build system path:
and then a semicolon separated list of about 50 directories.
So I copied setup.h to C:wxWidgets-2.8.12includewx
strange, I thought I’d already done that.
Getting further now but hitting Linking Errors.
Have followed various hints, posts and stuff and have cleaned the solution and building again - not a fast machine, this could take some time…
How dare these Microsoft people ever criticise Linux. I’ve not encountered such buggy, convoluted, un-user friendly, badly documented bloatware in years.
OK, you are suffering from the rare but deadly “not searching sub-directories” bug. First, according to the wxWidgets folks ( Microsoft Visual C++ Guide - WxWiki ) on where setup.h is supposed to be:
"The settings that could be of interest are stored as defines in the file setup.h, located in “includewxmsw”.
It should not be in WXWINincludewx. There is some hidden MS system setting which tells VC++ to search sub-folders for header files; if you first install the demo trial of MS Visual Studio then VC++ this switch is turned on and left on when you un-install MS VS before the trial runs out.
In your case you are going to need to go in and teach each offending solution about the sub-folders it needs to search. I am out the door now and will come back in a few hours to finish with the answer.
Without trying (too hard) to assign blame, here is what I think is going on…
wxWidgets expects to find a file “setup.h” during compile of wxWidgets. This file is not “supplied” by wxWidgets but must be created by the person doing the compiling. wxWidgets provides an example file for those using a Microsoft Visual compiler (VC++ Express is the free version, Visual Studio you pay for)–it is called “setup0.h”. The person must edit “setup0.h” as needed then rename it “setup.h” and put it somewhere all the various projects may find it. wxWidgets says to put it in WXWIN/include/wx/msw/; unfortunately they also use statements like: #include “wx/setup.h”
or #include <wx/setup.h>
which while subtly different should result in the same thing. I believe that the instruction to put “setup.h” in WXWIN/include/wx/msw/ is in err–while it really is the proper place for the header for MS VS/VC++ Express, it has a high likelihood of not being found because of the aforementioned “not searching sub-folders” MS bug (which is really a clever marketing tool as it is not a problem in the pay-for version nor its free trial)*. Anyway, since they use #include “wx/setup.h”
or #include <wx/setup.h>
they might just tell us to put it in WXWIN/include/wx/ and resolve the issue.
I do not know what the “proper” solution here is but if you want to keep “setup.h” in WXWIN/include/wx/msw/ where it more properly belongs you will need to go in and teach all the projects which deal with “setup.h” where it can be found. I just checked out a clean SVN HEAD and opened the Properties page of the Audacity Project; looking at the C/C++'s General panel’s Additional Include Directories:
you will see that $WXWINinclude is there but $WXWINincludemsw is not–you will need to add it. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the includes and you will find a blank line–double-click to make that line editable and add $WXWINincludemsw:
You will need to do this for every project in the Audacity solution (maybe even some of the wxWidgets ones) which uses “setup.h” (and maybe “platform.h” too among others).
Now, some might say that the Audacity Developers instructions which says "Copy setup.h to “C:wxWidgets-2.8.12includewxmsw” (referring to an Audacity custom “setup.h”) needs thought since they are the ones who created the Audacity solution which neglects to have $WXWINincludemsw as an include folder. I will go out on a limb here and call this a high priority bug against Audacity–especially since it is so easy to fix at the project source level.
* The MS “bug” (or marketing tool) is that the documentation for MS’s C++ compiler states that all sub-directories of any “included” directory will be automatically included and, in the case of the pay-for version Visual Studio, this is true. It is also true for the free trial version of MS Visual Studio. It also seems to hold true for VC++ Express (the free version) if you install MS VS (or its free trial) then later install Express! I am guessing it is a Registry setting controlling it or some .ini file.
IMVHO, this is a “defect” in code; “zlib.h” is a wxWidgets file:
wxWidgets-2.8.12srczlibzlib.h
so the Audacity code should read something like: #include <WXWIN/src/zlib/zlib.h>
but that is not legal so again we must teach the libid3tag project an Additional Include Directory (see previous post for steps) which will be:
$WXWIN/src/zlib
As before, this will “just work” if you are using or have used the pay-for version of MS VS.
