Title: Unix/Linux makefiles should use wx-config - don't hard code the WX library name
Post by: stodge on August 30, 2005, 01:49:58 pm

The Unix/Linux makefile doesn't work properly in that it doesn't link correctly and fails to find the STC library (this is wxWidget s 2.6.x I think). The solution should be to use wx-config instead of hard coding the library into the makefile. To get the link to work I had to add the location of the STC library to the makefile by hand.

Not finding STC should no longer be a problem in the CVS version: STC is no longer used.

Cool! Does the CVS version run under Linux with wxWidgets 2.6.1? Or does it still not support that release? If it does run, I'll grab a CVS copy.

Unfortunately, the Linux version runs correctly with wx2.4.
With wx2.6, segfaults early in the process and no solution has been found yet...

Bummer - that means I can't use codeblocks. :(

Is there a description of the problem anywhere?

trying to compile on linux (2.6).  needed to patch wxscintilla (attached) and add wxscintilla stuff to makefile (still not 100% working though - msvcworkspacebase.cpp not included or something).  Had to define -DGTK among other stuff (current Makefile.unix.wx26 attached).  Anyone else built this with wxscintilla on linux yet, or want to give it a try?
I'll try again later, but if s/o already has it working plz post/update needed changes.

Hi, I've successfully compiled C::B on Linux, wx 2.6.1 - and it works :)

The only changes were in projct settings, nothing more ;)

I've attached makefile and .cbp (I've removed call to doxygen since I haven't got)

Thanks to byo. It works on my Debian Sarge Linux with wxWidgets 2.6.1 ! :) I compile C::B and run it successfully.

BTW, byo, you forgot to replace you home path in the Makefile. So, it fails on the last step to generate CodeBlocks-unix-wx2.6.0. The generated codeblocks.exe works!

IMPORTANT: Download the CVS version at first!

I will try it later on my Mac.

Thanks again.
