It looks like there is a fatal bug in wxWidgets 2.8.12 (windows).
I even add code like below:
Show();
m_LogCtrl->Refresh();
m_LogCtrl->Update();
But the logCtrl still not refreshed. This is the same behavior as the build-log.
Any one have meet this kind of problem?
In the wxsmith, the textctrl style has wxTE_RICH2(enabled), if I disable this option, then it refreshes FINE.
There have been bug reports on this style and many improvements recently in the wx trunk version (a.k.a. 2.9.x) for rich text controls. If its a wx issue I'd say try with wx 2.9.x - if the error is gone, ignore it. In the end it's just a test project.
Thanks, but the issue also affect the current c::b's source code, see here
wxWindow* TextCtrlLogger::CreateControl(wxWindow* parent)
{
if (!control)
control = new wxTextCtrl(parent, -1, wxEmptyString, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxTE_MULTILINE | wxTE_READONLY | wxTE_RICH | wxTE_NOHIDESEL | wxTE_AUTO_URL);
return control;
}
Can we remove the "wxTE_RICH" ?? This issue happens for a very long time.
Looks like 2.8 branch still have this issue(I test a wx 2.8 dll build from 2.8 branch 2011-12-01 in xunxun's c::b release).
So, I will go direct to wx 2.9.3 release. Are there any tips, it looks like the wiki is not quite up to date: Compiling wxWidgets 2.9.0 to develop Code::Blocks (MSW) - CodeBlocks (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Compiling_wxWidgets_2.9.0_to_develop_Code::Blocks_(MSW))
Search the forum reveals some discussion, as a summrary
1, install wx2.9.3 32bit windows installer
2, edit some setup.h/setup0.h files to disable: wxUSE_STC
3, use the command:
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=1 UNICODE=1 USE_STC=0 USE_PROPGRID=1 BUILD=release clean
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=1 UNICODE=1 USE_STC=0 USE_PROPGRID=1 BUILD=release
Any ideas?
PS: why USE_PROPGRID=1 ? we have a wxpropgrid target in codeblocks.cbp, do they conflict?
Search the forum and it looks like "USE_PROPGRID=1" should be set to let us build wxsmith plugins, right?
It looks like building exchndl do not need libintl, see my fix below.
This was found when I try to build a c::b against wx2.9.3 with xunxun's gcc 4.6.3.
My bfd and iberty libraries are build from gdb, but I configured gdb with out international language support, so it does not build/install the libintl, this cause a build error in exchndl target, but tracking the build error message, I found that libintl is not necessory, instread the libz is need.
I just test the codeblocks.cbp, it should be fixed too.

Because this was already defined in the xunxun's gcc 4.6.3 package(MinGW64).
What about other (especially older) compilers?
Both tests: I use libz from mingw official sites zlib (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Extension/zlib/).
Test ONE:
I test the tdm gcc 4.6.1 sjlj, the compile stage passed, so it looks like those declaration does not need at least in tdm-gcc 4.6.1. As I know, tdm gcc use official Mingw API. while xunxun's gcc 4.6.3 use mingw64 API.
but the link stage failed:

As a conclusion, I guess it should be OK if the libbfd is build from tdm-gcc.
Test Two:
I test under loaden's gcc 4.4.5 release under 2010.10.12 (MinGW ALL 4.4.5 (binutils-2.20.1-2,make-3.82,mingwrt-3.18,w32api-3.15,pthreads2.8,iconv_1.13.1)), still failed in the link stage:

The change in internal.h should be OK from my point.
Can some one test it?
