wxScintilla included in wxWidgets 2.9

[jimp]

I was using the project file CodeBlocks_wx29.cbp to compile using wxWidgets 2.9.3. I noticed that the wxscintilla source code is being compiled to create a static library, libwxscintilla_cb.a. I don’t know if you are aware of it, but wxscintilla is included in the 2.9 release. Compiling the wxWidgets DLL creates a libwxscintilla.a you can link against. It is included by default with the option USE_STC=1 (in config.gcc).

Also MinGW release 4.6.2 will compile wxWidgets 2.9.3 WITHOUT changes to config.gcc. It also compiles in a reasonable time, about 40 minutes on my machine. It will NOT compile 2.8.12 without the config.gcc changes however. WxWidgets could have made changes to 2.9.3, like removing some inline dll exports.

The wxScintilla version we use is patched at many, many places to fit our needs, that's wy we use our own library.
It's static, because some (many) linux distros do not allow to package libraries, that already exist on the system a second time.

Is your patched library available for download? A copy of the compiled libraries would save a lot of effort. MinGW and the current wxWidgets source code don't woek well together.

Sure - it's part of every C::B release, sources are in SVN (as usual).

Well - we work with it every day, so I wonder what makes you say this...
