Build app

Install mingw64 from MSYS2 with gcc/g++ package using pacman.
Download wxwidget prebuild (Download Windows Binaries) mathing your arch x86/x86_64 :

• Header Files.
• Development File.
• Release DLLs.
  

Edit buildw32.cmd changing the base path.
Create a build folder at project root.
Then run the command below.

buildw32.cmd

As non static built you should add 2 dlls to distribute the runtime :

• wxbase315u_gcc1020_x64.dll
• wxmsw315u_core_gcc1020_x64.dll

Both of them should be found in your prebuild.

Test

• WIP but may be through boost tests.
