I am trying to run the minimal wxWidgets sample using Visual Studio Community 2015 under Windows 10. wxWidgets version is 3.1.0.
I have compiled wxWidgets using the following command:
nmake -f makefile.vc SHARED=1 UNICODE=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release
The compilation of wxWidgets was successful with above-mentioned command.
The minimal wxWidgets example compiles well but I get the following link errors in the release version (havent tried debug yet):
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void (__cdecl* wxTheAssertHandler)(class wxString const &,int,class wxString const &,class wxString const &,class wxString const &)" (?wxTheAssertHandler@@3P6AXABVwxString@@H000@ZA)

I have the following Preprocessor definitions:WIN32;_UNICODE;__WXMSW__;UNICODE
The whole linker flags: /OUT:"C:\Users\gb\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\wxWidgetsDeneme\Release\wxWidgetsDeneme.exe" /MANIFEST /LTCG:incremental /NXCOMPAT /PDB:"C:\Users\gb\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\wxWidgetsDeneme\Release\wxWidgetsDeneme.pdb" /DYNAMICBASE "wxmsw31u.lib" "wxmsw31u_gl.lib" "wxexpat.lib" "wxjpeg.lib" "wxpng.lib" "wxscintilla.lib" "wxtiff.lib" "wxzlib.lib" "kernel32.lib" "user32.lib" "gdi32.lib" "winspool.lib" "comdlg32.lib" "advapi32.lib" "shell32.lib" "ole32.lib" "oleaut32.lib" "uuid.lib" "odbc32.lib" "odbccp32.lib" /MACHINE:X86 /OPT:REF /SAFESEH /INCREMENTAL:NO /PGD:"C:\Users\gb\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\wxWidgetsDeneme\Release\wxWidgetsDeneme.pgd" /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /MANIFESTUAC:"level='asInvoker' uiAccess='false'" /ManifestFile:"Release\wxWidgetsDeneme.exe.intermediate.manifest" /OPT:ICF /ERRORREPORT:PROMPT /NOLOGO /LIBPATH:"C:\Users\gb\Downloads\wxWidgets-3.1.0\lib\vc_dll" /TLBID:1
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Would not think it would have been this simple: just a preprocessor definition was missing: WXUSINGDLL
In the documentation it mentions: WXUSINGDLL:If you're compiling using DLLs instead of a static build and since I am using nmake -f makefile.vc SHARED=1 ....
I am just curious now: Why wxWidgets runs without any problem using gcc even if WXUSINGDLL was missing from the preprocessor definition.
