If you are using a configure script, this can be achieved with 'export LDFLAGS=-mwindows' before you run configure. one which doesn't pop up a console as well as your GUI. Include the linker flag '-mwindows' to produce a Win32 app, i.e. To generate Win32 applications rather than console apps G++ -o hworld hworld.cpp `./wxWidgets/wx-config -cxxflags -libs -debug=yes`Īlternatively, compile samples/minimal as indicated above.

#Where is the cygwin installation exe windows#
Including -mno-cygwin in CFLAGS/LDFLAGS in configure.in makes Cygwin's GCC compile and link against only native windows libs. Normally if you compile with Cygwin's GCC, any executables you create will depend on the Cygwin DLL, forcing you to distribute your application with the DLL. To get an executable independent of Cygwin DLL In subdir 'lib' named after compiler, e.g. How can you see if you are successful? install.txt tells which files should be build (see 'Where Compiled Files are Stored').

configure -with-msw -enable-debug -enable-debug_gdb -disable-shared -with-libjpeg=builtin
#Where is the cygwin installation exe install#
Make install # This step is optional, see note (6) below. configure -with-msw -enable-debug -enable-debug_gdb -disable-shared For cygwin you may also want to use "configure" with some additional parameters.# you may need to also export the path to the librariesĮcho "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib" > ~/.bashrc For cygwin the Linux (typical) install instructions should suffice but you will need to have X11 support (precomplied binaries and lib are available from Cygwin setup/updates).

there are more detailed install instructions for cygwin inside the sources you just downloaded, seeīelow an abbreviated version of the process described in install.txt.Possibly you have to want to adjust the url above to the latest stable release. (I want wxMSW, i don't know about the others.) You may be able to pick between wxMSW, wxGTK or wxX11. choose either current stable (v2.8.12) or development version (v2.9.3). In addition to the default, you will need to select the following packages: 4 To generate Win32 applications rather than console apps.2 To get an executable independent of Cygwin DLL.
