Can't link wxWidgets app with Code::Blocks / MinGW - c++

Question

I have an already working c++ + wxWidgets app built in Eclipse, with wxWidgets built using MSYS.
Now i'd like to try different IDEs, like CodeLite and Code::Blocks, but when i tried them they did'nt work 'cause i was lacking a build.cfg file they wants.
So i tried a "clean" way, backupped the wxWidgets and build them again using MinGW32-make instead of MSYS.
Trying Code:Block now, i get a lot of "undefined reference" errors, and i can't understand what i've done or set wrong.
I'll try to give here all the related info:
Path to wxWidgets:

Process terminated with status 1 (0 minute(s), 29 second(s))
19 error(s), 2 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 29 second(s))
I also tried adding other libs i had to add when i built this code under arm-linux) in the linker settings, but these libraries files are not existing (i guess 'cause the MONOLITHIC option):
libwxmsw30ud_core.a
libwxmsw30ud_html.a
libwxmsw30ud_adv.a
libwxbase30ud_xml.a
libwxmsw30ud_richtext.a
In the end, i don't know what i should to finally link and debug my sources from Code::Block.

You need to link with libwxexpat.a which was created when you built wxWidgets.
