How can I add the wxwidgets
library to my Windows exrm
build? Currently, when I run my exrm-built application on Windows or try to use :wx.new()
, I receive a message:
** (UndefinedFunctionError) function
:wx.new/0
is undefined (module:wx
is not available)
I managed to solve my problem by adding a relx.config
file to the rel
directory in my project. Getting the syntax right was a little challenging, but I noticed that mix release
created a temporary rel\.files
directory while it was running. In that directory is a generated version of relx.config
that you can use for reference. Since the mix task takes a while to run, there is time to open that file and peek at its contents.
With an app named foo
, the contents of the relx.config
file was just one line:
{release,{foo,"0.0.1"},[{foo,"0.0.1"},elixir,iex,sasl,wx]}.
The only part I added was the ",wx".
I ran mix release --prod
once again and then extracted the rel\foo\releases\0.0.1\foo.tar.gz
file into a test directory. From that test directory, .\bin\foo console
ran my application with all the GUI working as expected.
