title: CodeBlocks: How to build C++ App w using wxWidgets library DLLs
body: <p>I have downloaded and installed binaries of wxWidgets and Codeblocks onto my PC with Windows 10. Codeblocks builds and runs HelloWorld. With Codeblocks I then open an existing DEV-C++ project which uses wxWidgets - Codeblocks compiles this with no problems, but the linker fails with a message that a library dll file of Widgets is an "unrecognized format".
  have spent several hours looking for help on this forum and on the widgets site. I have read about Export Libraries which bridge the gap between the calls in the App and the functions in the shared DLLs, but have failed to find them. What is the correct way to link to the Widgets library? Thank you for any help you can give me.</p>
