Another wxSQLite3 Installation Question

[doublemax]

I tried it and wxSQLite3 can't be build with GCC 5.1.0.

I tried GCC 8.1.0 from https://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/download/mingw-builds
(The installer asks for several options, leave everything as it is).

I managed to build both wxWidgets 3.1.2 and wxSQLite3 with it.

I actually have MinGW 8.2.0. But I had to resort to the MinGW 5.1.0 compiler that came with Code::Blocks to compile wxWidgets.

Why? When installing Code::Blocks you can choose between a setup with and a setup without bundled C++ compiler. You should have used the setup without bundled compiler, and then use your already installed version MinGW 8.2.0. There should be no problem compiling wxWidgets with MinGW 8.2.0. Alternatively, you could use the precompiled wxWidgets version for MinGW 8.1.0 and install additionally the 8.1.0 compiler.

So switching back now to the 8.2.0 compiler isn't going to break anything?

I doubt that you can easily mix binaries produced by version 5.1.0 with those produced by version 8.2.0.

Unfortunately this is true for wxSQLite3 version 4.0.0 and above. The reason is that the SQLite encryption extension uses a Windows system function for generating random numbers, but the definition of that function is missing from the header files coming with TDM gcc 5.1.

Using a recent C++ compiler and a recent wxWidgets version is the best option, for sure.
