CB keeps crashing (my fault)

[_teo_]

Thanks to your help I managed to compile CB on my machine. However it crashes constantly. It's enough to start it and open a project. After few seconds CB will disappear!

Any idea?

I tried to set paths to include files. Is it possible that I did something wrong?

Revision?

3115

I just updated to 3116 - it is running already ~15 min.
I should set include path to point to /opt/wx/2.6/include/wx-2.6. Where should I do that? Perhaps in "Settings" > "Compiler and Debugger Settings" and then in Directories?

Edit: Is there any wiki page (for instance) where I can see how to setup my environment?

Code

-------------- Build: Debug in test ---------------
Compiling: app.cpp
/ bin / sh: wx-config: command not found
In file included from /opt/wx/2.6/include/wx-2.6/wx/wxprec.h:13,

/opt/wx/2.6/include/wx-2.6/wx/defs.h:41:13: error: #error "No Target! You should use wx-config program for compilation flags!"

How to fix this one?

[mandrav]

sudo apt-get install wx-common

sudo apt-get install wx-common

I compiled wxGTK from source. wx-config is available when I type in the terminal. Should I install wx-common anyway or should I update CB settings?

Here is the output:
> which wx-config
> /opt/wx/2.6/bin/wx-config

and
> wx-config --prefix
> /opt/wx/2.6

[mandrav]

This:

Code

/ bin / sh: wx-config: command not found

and this:

Code

> wx-config --prefix
> /opt/wx/2.6

are not saying the same thing...
IOW, one of them is wrong. Which is?

I wish I know. Look as I said before I am on Ubuntu 6.06. I checked the "Run command as login shell" in terminal's profile. Otherwise wx-config isn't found there.

As opposite to above in C::B when I try to build a GUI test application (generated with wizards) I can see in "Build Log" that wx-config isn't found.

mandrav, I really appreciate your help. Thank you.
btw, I just updated to latest revision - 3124

OK, I somehow doubt that "/opt/wx/2.6/bin" is in your path.
Either add it to your path, or edit the build options of the generated project and adjust all "wx-config" occurrences with "/opt/wx/2.6/bin/wx-config".

Why did you build wx from source? Is something missing from the version in the repositories?

Well, this is my fault. I didn't know that wxWidgets library is available there. That's why I downloaded latest version, which is 2.7 and built it. Then I wasn't able to build C::B. Later I searched C::B web-site and found the wiki page with explanation on how to build C::B. I tried to uninstall version 2.7 and install 2.6 from repositories. But 2.7 wasn't uninstalled and I had troubles with C::B.

Finally guys in this forum pointed to me that the actual problem is the newer wxWidgets version. They told me to use version 2.6.3 with patch 2. That's why I built 2.6 from source.

Right now, C::B is recompiled and running. I followed your advice to install 2.6 from repositories and rebuilt C::B against it. It compiles my test application. If I notice any further problems I will first ask here for advice before doing something in the wrong way.

Thank you for the nice IDE. I am impressed. Since I use MS Developer Studio on daily basis I can compare.

mandrav, actually there is something that's missing: wxChoice::GetCurrentSelection method is used in some of contributed plugins. In wxWidgets online-help one can read following:

"This function is new since wxWidgets version 2.6.2 (before this version GetSelection itself behaved like this)."
The URL: http://www.wxwindows.org/manuals/2.6.3/wx_wxchoice.html

In Ubuntu repositories there is an older version.

However I managed to build 2.6.3 from source (patch 2 is applied) and I built C::B against it. This works, but I get an error about missing CBProfiles.zip file (I noticed the other thread in this forum).

Well, post the errors here so we can fix them. Normally (as in the core sdk and plugins), we use #ifdef guards around calls to wxChoice::GetCurrentSelection() so that compilation works.

I just compiled C::B 3126 against wx 2.6.1 from Ubuntu repositories. There seems to be only one single problem:

/trunk/src/plugins/contrib/symtab/symtabconfig.cpp
Line 340

PS: CBProfiler.zip isn't found and Settings > Compiler and debugger crashes C::B

Do you read the changelog (http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/codeblocks/?op=log&rev=0&sc=0&isdir=1)?
Check out revision 3129... ;-)
With regards, Morten.

Well, I don't. Anyway I'm going to use 2.6.3. Keep the good work!
