Should we keep wxWidget 3.1.* with compat for 3.0.*?

[arvanus]

I'm not a expert Linux end-user, and I'd like to know it using wxWidget 3.2.* could represent a problem for the average Linux user about using Flamerobin, or compiling Flamerobin from source.
I'd like to know the possible problems the users could get from this migration
the questioning is quite strait: keep wxW 3.1 with compat for 3.0, or migrate to 3.2 and remove old compat.
Thanks

Usually i keep compat with previous version , for Ubuntu LTS the version in repository is still 3.0.x , so it's easier to compile for end users
https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal/wxwidgets3.0

[mariuz]

Alternative is to install wx3.2 for building flamerobin
https://docs.codelite.org/wxWidgets/repo321/
See the example from github workflow
https://github.com/mariuz/flamerobin/blob/master/.github/workflows/ccpp.yml#L16

wx3.2 is also now in Debian testing so i guess in long term we can default to 3.2 on master
https://packages.debian.org/source/bookworm/wxwidgets3.2

after this tag/release flamerobin it will not compile on 3.0 only on 3.2

Hi.
I tried wxWidgwts 3.2 on Debian 11 and there were no problems

Hi, someone had successfully build Flamerobin with wxWidget 3.2.1 on windows? (using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 17.3.4)
All I get is tons of unresolved external symbols:

Flamerobin wxWidget 3.2.1 output log.txt

the problem is that Wx is compiled StaticRelease and you are compiling FR with DynamicRelease you just have to change the configuration in FR.

[arvanus]

Worked, as future reference had to change in every wxWidget project properties, at C/C++ -> Geração de Código/Code Generator=> Biblioteca em tempo de execução/run-time library from /MDd to /MT

Also, note to myself: at CMake, remember to check if wxWidgets_CONFIGURATION value is mswu to build release Flamerobin
