Can't build C::B (SVN 4698) for Redhat Enterprise 4.0 ("wxChoice undeclared")

[bgolding]

Hi all,

As part of my "day job" I'm trying to build C::B from SVN on a RedHat system. Following these instructions:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Linux

I've successfully:

• built wxGTK 2.8.7 from source
• ./bootstrap
• ./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all --prefix=/blah/foo/bar

I'm using a version of g++ 3.3.6 built at our site, and also have set LINK=g++ (is this correct?) to avoid linking with 'ld', on the advice of other Linux developers here.

I've added these to my .cshrc:

• setenv PATH "${HOME}/wx2.8.7/bin:${PATH}"
• setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "${HOME}/wx2.8.7/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
• setenv ACLOCAL_FLAGS "-I ${HOME}/wx2.8.7/share/aclocal ${ACLOCAL_FLAGS}"

When running 'make' I get 'wxChoice undeclared' errors (see attached). I suspect I'm missing a preprocessor define of 'wxUSE_CHOICE'. This makes me think that something went wrong earlier in the configure.

Any pointers appreciated
I can provide more info about my setup but I'm not sure what would be relevant.

Try adding an include <wx/choice.h> to file advancedcompileroptionsdlg.cpp.

If that does not work, it could be as you think an error in setup.h, but that is rare. While missing includes are common.

Try adding an include <wx/choice.h> to file advancedcompileroptionsdlg.cpp.

Hmm... I don't think anyone has touched that source file for 4-6 weeks. Thus, if this #include was missing, one of the several hundred Linux users building Code::Blocks regularly should have had that problem several weeks ago already, I think. (Otherwise, we seriously need to work on our communication, guys ).

But it's worth a shot anyway. Try it, and if it works for you, then that is better than nothing. Just, be aware that you might indeed have a setup error, so don't be surprised if you see that same error again in another project later.

Yup, I had the problem on several files in some builds. Since it were only include-files I simply added them and didn't bother of reporting it. It did improve a lot over the last two months.

Maybe it's system specific because I cannot imagine, that from large count of people who built it, nobody else reported it. My system is a SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (the OP has a Redhat Enterprise 4), so maybe it's an "Enterprise" issue

lg,

Up and running 

Can someone please commit Tim S's patch. I guess most Linux users have precompiled headers enabled so they don't see this.

It would be best if you confirmed it fixed the issue and state details of your system
wxWidgets Version
Linux Edition and Version
