Static vs. dynamic linked library

[280Z28]

We run into a problem because we statically link wxAUI but we dynamically link wxWidgets, so we have to delete all the WXDLLEXPORT statements in manager.h. Here's a fix that will work for everyone.

Place this at the top of manager.h:

Code: Select all

#if defined(WXMAKINGSTATIC_AUI) || defined(WXUSINGSTATIC_AUI)
#    define WXDLLIMPEXP_AUI
#    define WXDLLIMPEXP_DATA_AUI(type) type
#    define DECLARE_AUI_EVENT_TYPE(name, value) DECLARE_LOCAL_EVENT_TYPE(name, value)
#    define DEFINE_AUI_EVENT_TYPE(name) DEFINE_LOCAL_EVENT_TYPE(name)
#elif WXMAKINGDLL_AUI
#    define WXDLLIMPEXP_AUI WXEXPORT
#    define WXDLLIMPEXP_DATA_AUI(type) WXEXPORT type
#    define DECLARE_AUI_EVENT_TYPE(name, value) DECLARE_EVENT_TYPE(name, value)
#    define DEFINE_AUI_EVENT_TYPE(name) DEFINE_EVENT_TYPE(name)
#elif defined(WXUSINGDLL)
#    define WXDLLIMPEXP_AUI WXIMPORT
#    define WXDLLIMPEXP_DATA_AUI(type) WXIMPORT type
#    define DECLARE_AUI_EVENT_TYPE(name, value) DECLARE_EVENT_TYPE(name, value)
#    define DEFINE_AUI_EVENT_TYPE(name) DEFINE_EVENT_TYPE(name)
#else /* not making nor using DLL */
#    define WXDLLIMPEXP_AUI
#    define WXDLLIMPEXP_DATA_AUI(type) type
#    define DECLARE_AUI_EVENT_TYPE(name, value) DECLARE_LOCAL_EVENT_TYPE(name, value)
#    define DEFINE_AUI_EVENT_TYPE(name) DEFINE_LOCAL_EVENT_TYPE(name)
#endif


Change all of the WXDLLEXPORT statements to WXDLLIMPEXP_AUI.

Change all of DECLARE_EVENT_TYPE to DECLARE_AUI_EVENT_TYPE.

Change all of DEFINE_EVENT_TYPE to DEFINE_AUI_EVENT_TYPE.

I think I am missing something very basic here but I would like to compile wxAUI as a dynamic library (on windows).

I'm using wx 2.6.2.

What needs to be defined in the preprocessor?

I don't know what your experiences with this patch, but in my case it causes memory leaks , if i build wxaui after patch as dll an use it in progs.

Does anyone get it to run without leaks
