A link to the unicode windows wxWidget dll for Code::Blocks : http://prdownload.berlios.de/codeblocks/wxmsw26u_gcc_cb_wx2.6.3p2.7z

To fix the menu alignment bug introduced in wx 2.6.3 [windows only bug] we have patched wx ourselves, and that results in the following alternative dll : http://prdownload.berlios.de/codeblocks/wxmsw26u_gcc_cb_wx2.6.3p2AndCbPatch_version3.7z

For those who might need this one (when no MingW installed on your system) : the mingw10m.dll : http://prdownload.berlios.de/codeblocks/mingwm10.7z

Great fixes, thank you!

I'm amazed by this IDE every day. Great work.

Title: "Bug" located.
Post by: Mayler on March 15, 2007, 01:02:19 am
First, Congratulations to this the great IDE. It's an amazing project.
But I found 1 strange behaviour... When i have a function "hidden" ( the plus signal on the left ) and I comment the function using /* */  and the comment involves more than 1 function the minus and plus signal disappears, avoiding me expanding the function commented. Is this behaviour expected or it's a programming error?
If you want, i can send a screenshot showing what I'm talking about.

Sorry for my bad english.
Best regards.

It's a bug in Scintilla. You may consider filing a bug-report to them.

If you have commented such functions then the fold moves to comment line. Do a Fold and then Unfold of the new fold at comment line and your function will appear unfolded inside the comment. :)

Why do we use this ownPatched DLL?

It is only fixed in 2.6 Branch or 2.8.2 or CVS Head, CB uses a patched version of 2.6.3 with patch 2 applied plus the CB patches (3 of my Patches to wxWidgets 2.6.3). My patches are back ports of patches done to CVS Head of a few months ago.
Most likely when 2.6.4 is released then we can use an non patched version of wxWidgets for a short while. Till we need to fix a bug in the release.

Hello,

As always, thanks for this very nice IDE I use every hour.

Some bugs of the lasts build:

- when a link fail, and using a custom makefile, the auto_hide_message_panel hide anyway.

- when buiding a workspace, sometimes its doesn't use the custom makefile if defined, so the build fail.
This is because, the builder does not switch from a standard makefile to a custom makefile. To test the bug, create two project A with a custom makefile, B with a standard makefile, make B depends of A, rebuild B, the custom makefile of A isn't used.

- the uncomplete brace in the editor is white, when the actual line is highlited, so it is invisible.

- in the projet left panel window:the build options work with the selected projet (even not activated), in the menu projets, its work with the active projet(not the selected one). Maybe it could be the same behaviour.( same for the projects properties)

- when editing makefiles in CB, somethimes the CR are wrong for mingw32-make, perhaps we could have always the same CR type fore makefile* files.

A suggestion: having a project with no makefile could be nice. Making it depends of the others projets, => rebuild all will rebuild all the others projects in the workspace.

Thanks for all

Etienne

It would be very usefull to safe highlightmode for project files as i have always to switch it for my logfiles on startup:-/
Would it be a good idea to use the old debug.dll with new builds as new build's debug.dll doesn't load on win2k?

Hi,
in this and one of previous Nightly there is a strange "sta00336" file in .\share\CodeBlocks\plugins\ directory.

And it happens when Post-build steps fail too.

I built the standard template for a Win32 GUI, but when it runs, it opens a command-prompt with the window. Is there a way to change that?

Also, the executable size is 715KB!!!!! If I can't get that down to at least 50KB, I simply won't be using CodeBlocks. I just switched from Dev-C++. I'm not used to seeing those huge files, even with complex applications!!!

MinGW/GCC, the compiler which Code::Blocks RC2 comes with and for which Code::Blocks is designed, is the exact same compiler that Dev-C++ uses, so any differences in file size are a result of different settings, which can always be changed. In order to create smaller executables, make sure debug symbols are not being generated (the "-g") option, and enable the "Strip all symbols from binary" option ("-s"). If you're a real size freak, you could also use the "Optimize for size" option ("-Os").

Ah, that did the trick for the size! Thanks so much  :) (btw, I also figured out by now how to display the window without command prompt... had to change the mode from "Debug" to "Release".)

You can also change the target type from Console Application to GUI.
That way you can also use the Debug target without the console.
