I was very happy to hear that good news from you.
The only (!) problem left is that on line 378 in wxwidgets_dev.cpp the
variable "offset" is used but was not previously set. [...]
A quick check of the source code did not tell me how to solve that, so I will have to leave that to you.
Indeed, I confirm that is an obvious bad case of an uninitialized variable, and it is up to me to fix it since that code is mine. But it is pretty bad code in another respect (quite convoluted) so I understand it well enough to realize there is a definite uninitialized variable issue, but it will take me a while to figure out all the logic again and come up with a proper fix. By the way, this is really good news that MSVC found this issue and you reported it because previously I was having trouble figuring out why that code was not producing correct superscript/subscript results. But I suspect once I fix this uninitialized variable bug, that other problem will become understandable and solveable as well.
By the way, the correct 64-bits libraries are installed in a
directory containing the "x64" suffix. So my earlier change was (a) not necessary (b) an indication I had downloaded the wrong libraries. If only they had used "x86" or "x32" or something for 32-bits versions ... So it sounds like you want to drop your previous commit to cmake/modules/FindwxWidgets.cmake. If that is the case, please do that immediately while you remember these recent find troubles. However, the quick git lesson is you should not destroy your previous commit like you can with a private topic branch commit that has not yet been published since the offending commit you don't like any more is published (meaning others should be able to count on it remaining on our public repository indefinitely). So instead locally reverse the changes you made to cmake/modules/FindwxWidgets.cmake on a private topic branch. And commit that change (with good explanatory commit message) on that private topic branch and then merge it to master in our public repository using our usual workflow. So the net result is you get credit for two public commits this way; your original one and then another separate commit to reverse it. So it is a win-win similar to my forthcoming fix for the above uninitialized variable error. :-) Alan __________________________ Alan W.
