Is there any way to set some kind of default project settings in the idde? Or do
I have to enter all the settings for a wxwidgets project every time I start one?
What is the best and easiest way starting a new wxwidgets project in the idde?
Any advice would be very welcome.

Actually... I'm curious if there is anybody who use IDE of DMC with 
wxWidgets. I have it myself but had no time to try it out yet. Does it have 
import of makefile of make.exe or smake.exe? If yes, then you can at least 
generate initial project using bakefiles. I'm open and would be happy to 
incorporate DMC IDE project files support to bakefiles once I could be 
pointed out to IDE project file format specification (which IIRC is not 
available).

from 2.4.2 and 2.5x the patches are incorporated into the 
wxWidgets/wxWindows download

points 2,3,4 should be ignored

I don't think so. At least some of the files are binary :-(

I have built them by hand and the ide does work fine, but the debugger 
will happily work with files built by commandline

Arjan build the project(s) to compile all the libraries with the IDDE.
Now we are porting our MFC class wrapper to wxWidgets so we can use 
wxWidgets and be MFC independent.

Great! I probably saw it in the past but forgot, sorry :-(


 Arjan build the project(s) to compile all the libraries with the IDDE.


Anyway that's still a handmade projects, right? The building of the project 
file can't be automated and perform without ide available (in other words 
build into bakefiles)?

Do you use ability of mixing MFC and wxW during porting or do you do 
complete fresh rewrite ?

The .prj file is an ascii text file. You should be able to generate it.

No rewrite of the wrapper for wxW

Thank you all for your help. What I have done is downloading the latest
wxwidgets src. I compiled it using the incuded makefile.dmc. I had no problem
doing this. I also have no trouble compiling the samples using makefiles. What I
can't do is to compile for example the minimal sample using the idde. I have
tried setting the include directories and all but in the end I just get alot of
errors like below. I am missing one or more things. Could you please set me on
the right track. I have not found a lot of info on the dm+wx combination on the
internet. Is it a bad one? Should I stick with mingw for wx? I really like dm.

Seems the wxWidgets *.lib file is missing in the link stage.

Did you actually build the lib using the makefile in %WXWIN%/src/msw 
directory?

under 2.5.3 the library makefile.dmc is in build/msw (not src/msw) and 
the library is built into lib\dmc_lib so you may need to alter the paths 
given to the idde to find the libs
