Search wxUSE_GLCANVAS and set the value to 1
- define wxUSE_GLCANVAS 1
Search wxUSE_ODBC and set the value to 1
- define wxUSE_ODBC 1
Save the file.
Compile wxWidgets 2.8.10
Open the project $(WXWIN)/build/msw/wx.dsw
Set the project configuration as DLL Debug and build the solution.
Set the project configuration as DLL Release and build the solution.
Recomended build order
wxjpeg, wxpng, wxtiff, wxzlib, wxregex, wxexpat, base, core, adv, html and the rest in any order.

How to build CrackArt
Open the solution CrackArtExe.sln.
CrackArt needs to be built in this order:
- Controls
- Core
- CommonDlgs
- CrackArtExe
- PolyCount
- MaterialsGUI
After the build finishes, copy the bitmaps to the output folder:
from: CrackArt/src/Controls/TimeLine/bitmaps
to: bin/release/bitmaps bin/debug/bitmaps
Some users have experienced problems running CrackArt if the ogre dll files are in the same folders as CrackArt.exe.
This is the required structure of files to properly run CrackArt:
(CrackArt Folder)/CrackArt.exe (CrackArt Folder)/CrackArt.zip (CrackArt Folder)/CommonDlgs.dll (CrackArt Folder)/Controls.dll (CrackArt Folder)/Core.dll (CrackArt Folder)/PolyCount.dll (CrackArt Folder)/MaterialsGUI.dll (CrackArt Folder)/bitmaps/all.png (CrackArt Folder)/bitmaps/all_b.png (CrackArt Folder)/bitmaps/ff1x.png (CrackArt Folder)/bitmaps/ffx.png (CrackArt Folder)/bitmaps/left.png (CrackArt Folder)/bitmaps/middle.png (CrackArt Folder)/bitmaps/playx.png (CrackArt Folder)/bitmaps/rewx.png (CrackArt Folder)/bitmaps/right.png (CrackArt Folder)/bitmaps/timex.png (CrackArt Folder)/bitmaps/twoarrowsx.png
