cb trunk compiler plugin stopped working (antergos, wx 3.1.1 trunk)

[blauzahn]

starting cb hangs on my machines during startup and eats up memory.

I observed this across 3 machines consistently an reproducibly over
the last days. All are Antergos x86_64 GNU/Linux. I regularly build
wxwidgets and cb on Ubuntu 16.04, Antergos and (sometimes) on FreeBSD
and have used wx 3.1.1 trunk for several months now.
Setting wx trunk set back to 2 weeks did not fix this. Still not sure,
whether the root cause is in cb or wx.

On Ubuntu, this issue does not appear.

Code

$ codeblocks --safe-mode

works

deleting ~/.config/codeblocks and ~/.local/share/codeblocks did not help.

Has anybody seen this? I appreciate any hint. Did not find anything
with brief search in bug tracker or mailings on codeblocks.org and
wxwidgets.org. Will try to examine that myself later.

Thanks in advance.

wxwidgets was build from current vanilla trunk with

Code

(cd build && ../trunk/configure --with-cxx=14)

Code

Configured wxWidgets 3.1.1 for `x86_64-pc-linux-gnu'

  Which GUI toolkit should wxWidgets use?                 GTK+ 2 with support for GTK+ printing libnotify
  Should wxWidgets be compiled into single library?       no
  Should wxWidgets be linked as a shared library?         yes
  Should wxWidgets support Unicode?                       yes (using wchar_t)
  What level of wxWidgets compatibility should be enabled?
                                       wxWidgets 2.8      no
                                       wxWidgets 3.0      yes
  Which libraries should wxWidgets use?
                                       STL                no
                                       jpeg               sys
                                       png                sys

                                       sdl                no

No other wxwidgets version is or has been installed on this fresh OS installation.


cb was build as usual via Makefile (excerpt):

Code

PREFIX=/usr/local

bootstrap:
	(cd trunk && ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I `wx-config --prefix`/share/aclocal" ./bootstrap)

config:
	mkdir -p build
	(cd build && ../trunk/configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-contrib-plugins=all,-NassiShneiderman)

install:
	-@if [ -d $(PREFIX)/share/codeblocks ]; then rm -rf $(PREFIX)/share/codeblocks; fi
	-@if [ -d $(PREFIX)/lib/codeblocks ]; then rm -rf $(PREFIX)/lib/codeblocks; fi	
	(cd $(BUILDDIR) && $(MAKE) install)
	mkdir -p $(PREFIX)/share/codeblocks/locale/de_DE
	install -m 644 de_codeblocks.mo $(PREFIX)/share/codeblocks/locale/de_DE/de_codeblocks.mo

Are you sure you don't have file from older installations?
Using /usr/local as prefix is bad, because there is no way to do a reliable cleanup.
It is better to use a prefix where cb will be installed alone. I use ~/software/cb for example. Same is true for wxwidgets as well.
And finally on ubuntu it is best to build packages, it is a lot less hassle (execute one command to build the packages and another to install them).

[blauzahn]

yes, there are no files from an old installation. I saw this immediately after the first installation of OS, wx and cb.
Yet, I will recheck that now after I tried recompilations a few times.

On ubuntu I use checkinstall to install wxwidgets. This helps to clean up. So far, it worked sufficiently well.
By default, it builds and installs the deb package in one command instead of two, though. Agreed,
building safely at arms length and only then install is better.

For cb, I usually move the 2 directories where cb installs things completely away. before I install
the new stuff. That worked for me for years. Files in /usr/bin is another story.

Nevertheless, , I will try your alternative ~/software/cb when I find the time.
Did you create a symlink to the codeblocks binary or expand the path? I personally do not like the latter very much.

Thank you obfuscated!

Make sure to pass the full path, because some tools choke on ~.

What do you mean by this? If I'm adding a symlink in /usr/local/bin or something similar?
No, I use this cb only for testing. The one I'm using regularly is installed from a package!

Will do.

Ah, I see. Yes, that makes sense.

Thank you.
