Hello, I had a look at the manifest problem again. It was not a good idea to say /Manifest:No, as Hakan had to discover. I found some old comments confirming this, e.g.
http://codeandcoffee.de/index.php?/archives/1-wxWidgets-Visual-Studio-.net-2003-porting-to-VS-2005.html What I found appears two be two issues in the wxArt2D samples (I mainly used sample editor simple for investigation) and one on wxArt2D include paths. 1. The samples include wx.rc directly. You can see in the .vcproj file. The also available .rc file (single.rc for me) there fore is not used at all. 2. The .rc files are outdated copies of wx.rc. Instead a proper .rc file should look like mondrian ICON "mondrian.ico" #define wxUSE_NO_MANIFEST 1 #include <wx/msw/wx.rc> And now the example works (ok I tested static only again)! By loading wx.rc via single.rc, you get the opportunity to add #define wxUSE_NO_MANIFEST 1 before wx.rc gets called. Thus avoiding getting two manifests. The right one is the autogenerated one from Visual Studio made for your app. The one in wx.rc gets properly ignored. You can verify the difference by the app's icon. Before I had a default one (looks like a window with white background), now it is the mondrian it is supposed to be. 3. However, I wondered why in wx.rc the line #if !defined(WX_MSC_FULL_VER) || WX_MSC_FULL_VER < 140040130 evaluates to true ..., meaning lib\vc_lib\mswd\wx\msw\rcdef.h is not included, include\wx\msw\rcdefs.h is wrong one. Looking at how a wxWidgets demo gets compiled: cl /c /nologo /TP /Fovc_mswd\forty_game.obj /MTd /DWIN32 /Zi /Fdvc_mswd \forty.pdb /D_DEBUG /Od /D__WXMSW__ /D__WXDEBUG__ /I.\..\..\lib\vc_lib\mswd /I.\..\..\include /W4 /I. /D_WINDOWS /I.\..\..\samples /DNOPCH /GR /EHsc .\game.cpp Aha, lib\vc_lib\mswd gets included first. Experiment: I removed include\wx\msw\rcdefs.h, compiled some wxart2d sample again (without #define wxUSE_NO_MANIFEST 1), and it works, now the right one gets included. Conclusion: 1. Somewhere deep inside wxArt2D makefile generation the order of include paths needs to be twisted. 2. The .rc-files of the samples are broken.
