[wxWidgets 2.8.0 Visual Studio 2005 C++ Win XP SP2] Unresolved Symbol Errors

[juancasero at bellsouth.net]

Greetings -

I am working through some examples of the code in the book "Cross Platform GUI Programming with wxWidgets" and I am getting a number of unresolved symbol errors when I try to link the first simple program called minimal.cpp.   I have specified all the library paths to the compiler and told it to search all the static libs I built using Visual Studio 2005 C++ solution of release 2.8.0 of wxWidgets.  Near as I can tell the command line paramters to the compiler look ok.   I can compile the code no problem.  It is only when I try build a binary by linking everything together that it all falls apart.  Below is the output of the Visual Studio IDE.   I hope someone can help me.   Maybe give me some hints or insight into why the compiler fails to identify the required modules in the static libs.  I forgot to mention that I told the compiler to link *all* the static libs in the vc_lib directory.   Also I was curious as to why building the release DLL version of wxWidgets 2.8.0 fails in the IDE.  

Thanks,
Juan
