I get the same output from the command line, but that is what I would
expect because Eclipse created the makefile.

The problem is that I don't have the foggiest notion what the parameters
are supposed to be. The Wiki on how to use WxWidgets from Eclipse
simply says "copy the parameters", so that is what I did. But I don't
know why those are the parameters on the wxWidgets sample makefile, so I
don't know how to modify them for my application.

If the wxWidgets code is compiling incorrectly I have no idea how to
change it. I am not declaring anything, so if there is something wrong
with the wxWidgets header files I have no idea how to "correct" it. I
am just copying code from the samples, since I do not yet understand
wxWidgets well enough to be able to create my own code.
I see from other threads that lots of people are compiling wxWidgets
under Eclipse, but I have no idea how they are accomplishing that.

Thank you for the pointer.
I followed these instructions as closely as I could considering that I
already have wxWidgets installed according to the procedure described in
C:\wxWidgets-2.8.9\docs\msw\install.txt, which is not the procedure
described in the referenced wiki.
Before I even try the build the CDT editor complains of a syntax error on:
DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE()
and everything from:
BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(MyFrame, wxFrame)
to the end of the OnInit method.
Plus the wxMessageBox call in MyFrame::OnAbout.
When I request the project build I get the following output.
**** Rebuild of configuration Debug for project sampleMinimum ****
**** Internal Builder is used for build ****
g++ `wx-config --static=no --cxxflags`
-IC:\msys\1.0\local\include\wx-2.8 -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0
-osrc\minimal.o ..\src\minimal.cpp
cc1plus.exe: error: unrecognized command line option "-fcxxflags`"
g++: extraneous argument to '--static' option
g++: `wx-config: No such file or directory
Build error occurred, build is stopped
Time consumed: 359 ms.
I do not understand what I am doing, because I am blindly following the
advice in the various wikis and guides, without understanding why I am
being asked to issue the various incantations. As a result I have no
knowledge upon which to intelligently adjust the actions that I am taking.
For example at one point in the instructions I am asked to issue the
incantation:
mv /mingw/lib/wx*.dll /mingw/bin/
However there are no wx*.dll files in /mingw/lib. Indeed I cannot find
any wx*.dll files anywhere on my system. In any event make install did
not copy anything into the /mingw directory hierarchy. It put
everything under /usr/local in the msys directory.
I have clearly done something wrong, but I am mystified as to how to
determine what.

Ok, change that ;)

But you are willing to learn.

So it seems that you compiled wxWidgets static.

Hmm...
First you need the MinGW and MSYS /bin directories in the path
environment variable.
And you must tell MSYS where your MinGW installation resides.
To "Building and configuring wxWidgets"
"./configure --prefix=/mingw --enable-shared"
with this line a makefile is created, which will copy all builded files
to /mingw/bin, /mingw/lib etc. after "make install". If you change to
"--prefix=/xyz" make install will copy all files to /xyz/bin, /xyz/lib
etc.. "--enable-shared" will configure the makefile to build shared
libraries (in windows: *.dll).
This step: "mv /mingw/lib/wx*.dll /mingw/bin/"
is a quick trick ;)
If you compile a program which uses "wxwidgets shared" then you need the
necessary .dlls- so you could copy them in the path where your compiled
program will be started or you can put the .dll- directory also in your
windows path environment variable. Here the .dlls are moved to a
location which is already mentioned in the windows path environment
variable.
What should be mentioned- the makefile also prepares a script named
"wx-config", which can set up all necessary include dirs etc. (this is
clearly dependent on your --prefix option!)- this script is very
comfortable and should be used.
In eclipse the line:
"g++ `wx-config --static=no --cxxflags`"
starts the wx-config script within g++ (therefore the backticks are
used- and it _must_ be done with backticks) -> that cannot be done by
the windows shell, so you need MSYS. To tell eclipse that it has to use
MSYS you have to use the "Linux toolchain".
If you get linking errors then check all configuration lines in eclipse
that contain these backticks (eclipse is sometimes oblivious) also
check if the order of the linker command line pattern (${COMMAND}
${OUTPUT_FLAG}${OUTPUT_PREFIX}${OUTPUT} ${INPUTS} ${FLAGS}) is right.
You should really use the mentioned guide step by step and then ask again!
HTH,
Heiko

Thank you for your patience.
I have tried going back and rebuilding wxWidgets from scratch into the
recommended target and the build fails:

I believe I have identified a problem in the wiki
http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Eclipse%2C_CDT_%26_MingW_%26_MSYS_ Setup_Guide
""""""""quote"""""""""""
* move the contained folder wxWidgets-2.8.7 to "C:\MinGW" (so that
it becomes C:\MinGW\wxWidgets-2.8.7)
* execute "C:\msys\1.0\msys.bat" (or use the MSYS shortcut on your
desktop)
In the command prompt window that opens
* type (& confirm each line with Enter)
cd /mingw/wxWidgets-2.8.7
../configure --prefix=/mingw --enable-shared
""""""""""end quote"""""""""""""
The problem that I observe is that C:\MinGW\wxWidgets-2.8.9 (under
Windows) and /MinGW/wxWidgets-2.8.9 (under msys) are not the same
directory! Consistently using the Windows filesystem terminology they are:
C:\MinGW\wxWidgets-2.8.9 and C:\msys\1.0\MinGW\wxWidgets-2.8.9
As a result the either cd command fails, and if you change that command to:
cd /c/MinGW/wxWidgets-2.8.9
then you also have to change the configure command to:
../configure -- prefix=/c/MinGW --enable-shared
or alternatively change everything to use C:\msys\1.0\MinGW aka /MinGW.
Doing only half of the shift results in the "make install" command
scattering the product across the two directory structures.
