How to build wxWidgets for Windows

For sure we need Visual Studio installed (get the community edition for free).  After we install the source code package (e.g, in B:\WxWidgets-3.0.4)

Steps to build:

  1. Open "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS ..." Command shell (just type in the Cortana search)
  2. Change to the wxWidgets directory
  3. type: 
b:
cd wxWidgets-3.0.4\build\msw

nmake /f makefile.vc

After it finishes, just set WXWIN environment variable to poin to that directory (e.g, B:\WxWidgets-3.0.4)

The previous example doesn't really show the polymorphism. This example shows the coolness of C++ (version 14):





#include <iostream>

class Base
{

    Base(Base & other);

    ~Base() = default;

    void print();
    virtual void Process();
