Instructions: Simply save as a .bat file (batch script) and execute it. It will ask you to input the path of the MinGW compiler, and the installation directory of wxWidgets.

This script is developed according to the instructions to compile wxWidgets 2.8.9 for CodeBlocks, found here: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Compiling_wxWidgets_2.8.6_to_develop_Code::Blocks_(MSW)
