This is telling you that for some reason Audacity is not finding the .lib files in WXWINlibvc_lib that it wants. Here is a directory listing of my folder (just *.lib):

There are 70 there, if you don't have all 70, something is wrong. If you have all the same .lib files in that folder then there is something wrong with your environmental variable--post a picture which looks (something) like:

so I may see the value of WXWIN.

Progress is a bit slow at the moment as I've got a lot on at work, but I'll hopefully have a bit more time after the weekend. Anyway, here's the screen shot:

After some help from the kind folks at wxWidgets I now have a much better understanding of why "setup.h not found". The reason is a bit messy if you are just trying to get things working and the solution is a bit detailed. The problem is that wx/setup.h does not refer to WXWIN/include/wx/setup.h; it refers to WXWIN/lib/vc_dll/msw*/wx/setup.h (where msw* would be msw, mswd, mswu or mswud depending on the configuration you are building--Release, Debug, Unicode Release or Unicode Debug). The problem is that WXWIN/lib/vc_dll/msw*/ is not one of the additional dependencies for the various Audacity Projects.

Here is the solution:
1) Start the Audacity VC++ solution, set the configuration you wish to build (you will need to do this for all configurations you wish to build) and open the Properties Page for the Audacity solution.
2) Under Configuration Properties choose C/C++ then its Additional Include Directories.
3) Look for $(WXWIN)libvc_dllmsw (for Release), $(WXWIN)libvc_dllmswd (for Debug), $(WXWIN)libvc_dllmswu (for Unicode Release), or $(WXWIN)libvc_dllmswud (for Unicode Debug)--if it is not there you will need to add it.

You will need to do this for every project in the Audacity solution which uses wxWidgets. I have no idea why some folks have no problem with this and others do--generally those additional includes are upgraded correctly to VC++ 2008 but rarely it does fail.

Hi Edgar,

Is this reason for "Setup.h" not found worth adding to "Setup.h not found" on Developing on WIndows ? I think we may as well from what you say (just a link to this message).

A link to http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Troubleshooti ... crosoft_VC has been added to "Developing on Windows". Is that widgets page useful? It doesn't seem to be regularly maintained.

It surely will not hurt. We might even point folks to the wx FAQ (on which missing setup.h is the #1 topic):

While not updated in a long time, it is still better than nothing. Maybe we should link to the wxWidgets' forum's compiler board:
http://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewforum.php?f=19 (maybe in that green "Other problems?" div).

Of course, the wx-dev list serve is the best place to get help--the wx developers are amazingly helpful and patient with newbies! You may sign up via:

Thanks, Edgar. I added most of those links and tidied the page a bit.
