Setup OpenGL with wxWidgets in Codeblocks (C++)

in the "link libraries" window at 37:28 you might be able to run the application WITHOUT wxbase31u and wxmsw31u_core If the compiler says it cannot find them, just remove them from the link libraries window, i just discovered the application can compile without them on my system, it might be different for your computer, everyones computer is different. In this video I kind of did trial and error, but this way is what worked for me, I was having a hard time finding information on how to get the wxGLCanvas to work in codeblocks, so i spent a few days using AI trying to figure it out and I actually figured it out. If i get some time, ill try to make a better tutorial, but this way works as long as you put in the time and do the research, and use trial and error until it works for you. It worked for me, i hope it works for you.

If you need it, ask Ai to find it for you. #codeblocks #OpenGL #cplusplus #cplusplusprogramming #programming #wxWidgets #GUI #computerscience
