visual studio express 20xx

[ArbolOne DotOrg]

I would like to use wxWidget (latest version available) on my Windows 7
machine using Visual Studio Express 2013, however, I am not sure what are
the steps, if any, to take for the GUI toolkit to work correctly with
VSE2013. I could also use VSExpress 10, if necessary. I am also opened to
the possibility to use MinGW, in the case that wxWidget would be easy to
install. I am not planning to develop using wxWidget as of now, I am only
checking out the GUI toolkit at the request of a friend. I would like to
know if anyone has an advice regarding this installation.

Thanks in advance

There are no special steps, it just works.

Just follow the instructions in docs/msw/install.txt.

I build wx via command line with nmake. Absolutely no issues.
If you want to steal my script, it's at: http://sourceforge.net/p/agilitybook/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/AgilityBook/src/Projects/CompileWX.py
(I wrote that so I could consistently and easily build wx - been using it for at least 5 years... [hmm, maybe it's time to strip VC6 support... since my project only supports vc10+ now!])
