another issue with C::B and wXwidgets svn on OSX

[warpino]

Hi all,

I successfully built and installed code blocks svn with wxWidgets svn on OSX 10.11: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,20862.msg142429.html#msg142429

Everything works quite fine for my purpose, although I am experiencing an annoying issue: I am not able to resize the "Environment Settings" window, therefore I cannot edit the field "Terminal to launch console programs", for instance. The other settings windows seem to behave properly.

Any way I can solve this?

Best,

w

Please try this fix, it just add some style properties to the dialog.

Code

Note that this is rather easy w/o recompilation:
* search for the file "resources.zip" in the shared resource folder of C::B
* extract it to a temp. folder
* see for the file env_settings.xrc
* open it in an editor
* search for the passage in the file
* add the line as mentioned line (w/o the plus in front)

@ollydbg: I wonder what effect this has on other platforms, btw...

With this patch, I can resize the dialog under Windows XP.
But from my point of view, without this patch, the dialog should at least show everything of the wxListbook's panel.
I don't have other platforms at hand.

For me on linux it does:
1. no difference in wx30 - the dialog can be resized only horizontally with/without the patch
2. allows the dialog to be resized in wx28, but again only horizontally.

By horizontally I mean that even if I resize it vertically the contents doesn't resize, just the window. I can provide a screen shot if it is not clear what I mean.

I think I have the same problem with this patch: the window resizes, the content does not!

It looks like this is the issue described by OBF:

I have tried the ollydbg's patch. It works well. you should try it.

Did it fix the issue in OSX? I tried, edited file env_settings.xrc in share/codeblocks/resources.zip, added the line as shown by ollydbg. Nothing seems to change.

Please see the screenshot attached below. In fact, I applied the above patch and rebuilt CB.

Hi, I can't unzip the attachments, I have tried 7zip and winrar under Windows XP, but all failed.

Oh, I zipped it by volumes since the size of screenshot is too large to post. You can rename them, e.g. screenshot.zip.001, screenshot.zip.002, firstly. Then, They would be unzipped.

OK, I can open the png file now.
You did not mention the details in your previous post, so people have no idea how to open it.
Another suggestion is that there are so many image host site, so it is better to put the screen shot there, to save the space, C::B forum will run attachment cleanup task from time to time, so your attachment will get lost in the future.

Thanks for your information. I only knew some sites to host build logs before.

Hi guys,

after a few months, building svn10856, trying to tweak env_settings.xrc file, I am still stuck with this:



The suggested patch does not seem to solve the problem. Can anybody suggest a dirty workaround?

[ollydbg]

As I know, there is no C::B developers who work under Mac system, so, hope some other guys could help. 

[warpino]

Maybe I could seek for help from wxWidgets developers. Do you think it's a good idea? what should I provide them? maybe env_settings.xrc and.. what else?

thanks

I suggest you can build the wx sample code, such as the listcontrol sample code, and see whether it has the same issue.
And if it works, then you can create a simple dialog which use the broken xrc file.

listcontrol sample seems to work perfectly.

I have no idea how to do this :-(
