Hi folks,
I tried to create a simplest possible plugin by using the 'Project' wizard, but found that C::B completely stops responding after installing it.
Here are the steps to reproduce:
1. Go to File -> New -> Project and choose 'Code::Blocks plugin'
2. Proceed through this dialog (I selected Plugin type == 'Tool' and wxWidgets == '2.8')
3. Build the project
4. Go to Plugins -> Manage Plugins and try to install HelloWorld.cbplugin
The first drawback that I found is that it fails with complaining that it can't find the file 'HelloWorld.so'. Well, this problem is already described in
http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,20331.0.html, so I followed this way and it installed without any problems.
But now I tried to press the 'Open' button, and found that nothing happened. Same with 'New Project', or something else. I couldn't even close it by pressing the cross button. Then I killed it, and started again, but even that didn't helped. Eventually, I only managed to fix it by deinstalling this plugin (namely by purging everything in ~/.codeblocks/share/codeblocks/plugins/).
Is it working in this way just for me, or for everyone?
