who builds CB with GCC (read on please)
« on: June 21, 2006, 01:42:08 pm »
I'd like to know who builds CB from sources with a version of GCC < 3.4 ?
If so could you tell me your OS and if possible why you are not using a more recent version of GCC ?

Why this question : something about precompiled headers. ;-)

Hey, even if you use a gcc >= 3.4, feel free to tell me.

gcc 3.4.4 (WinXP)
gcc 4.0.2 (Ubuntu 5.10)

i tried gcc 3.4.5 on WinXP but got too much warnings using dllexports and certain compile flags,
and i couldn't find any thing what would have worked better than with gcc 3.4.4

on linux i use simply the standard from the ubuntu update server

Hello,

I have used on Windows GCC 3.4.4, 3.4.5, 4.1.0 and now 4.1.1. Unfortunately, I could not build C::B with 4.0.3 (but I could build wxWidgets :D).

On Ubuntu Dapper --> GCC 4.0.3
On Gentoo 2006.0 --> GCC 3.4.6

Best wishes,
Michael

occasionally:
Fedora Core 5/AMD64: gcc 4.1.x
SuSE 10.1/AMD64: gcc 4.1.x

gcc 3.4.6 on gentoo

But I still have a version of gcc 3.3 (I guess it is 3.3.6) installed. If you want to I could probably try a build with this compiler on the next weekend...

gcc 3.4.5 on WinXP and gcc 3.3.5 on SuSE Linux 9.3 (BTW: I'm just a user on that machine so it's not possible to update.)
Last time I build C::B under Linux was 2 days ago - it worked that time.

Edit: It actually did not work that time but I've committed a fix that it worked after I tried... ;-)

Win XP Pro SP2
GCC 3.4.5 (I think. VCF only builds with this version or higher so I compile C::B with it to)
Logged
OS: winXP
Compiler: mingw
IDE: Code::Blocks SVN WX: 2.8.4 Wish list: faster code completion, easier debugging, refactoring

Sorry for not answering until now but I didn't have the time yet.
I just compiled revision 2639 with gcc 3.3.6. It worked after adding one include to the debugger-plugin:
Code
Index: src/plugins/debuggergdb/debugger_defs.cpp
===================================================================
--- src/plugins/debuggergdb/debugger_defs.cpp   (revision 2639)
+++ src/plugins/debuggergdb/debugger_defs.cpp   (working copy)

 #include <wx/sizer.h>
+#include <wx/textctrl.h>
 
 #include <wx/arrimpl.cpp>
 WX_DEFINE_OBJARRAY(WatchesArray);
Anyway, I couldn't compile the contrib-plugins yet because I get an error within byoCBTris::OnPaint (It works with gcc 3.4.6) and I did not check if Code::Blocks runs.

Besides: I'm not sure if we should still care about gcc 3.3 and older compilers. Does any distribution still use this compiler?

Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) uses it exclusively and OS X 10.4 uses it as a means to backward compatiblilty from Tiger/ppc/Intel systems.

Ok, I managed to build the contrib plugins with gcc 3.3.6. The ByoGames Plugin needed a few patches to get compiled, one of them is a real error:

The last one is a real error the two others are som surprising problems - although the original code was correct gcc 3.3.6 seems to have some problems with it. But with this workaround I got it compiled.

Anyway, make install ran without problems, too, but I can't start Code::Blocks because wxGTK is compiled with gcc 3.4 and thus not compatible to my just build version of Code::Blocks. And I don't want to recompile wxGTK twice now ;)

Well, then we should still support this oldtimer and apply these few small patches.

could you tell me what would happen if in sdk_common.h the following section would be removed :
Code
#if defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(__APPLE__)
    #if ( (__GNUC__ < 3) || ( (__GNUC__ == 3) && (__GNUC_MINOR__ < 4) ) )
        #undef CB_PRECOMP
    #endif
#endif // __GNUC__ && !__APPLE__

support for old compilers : yes, that's the question.
I think Pecan was already able to build with that old gcc (and for him that section can go, because he has __APPLE__ defined ;-)  )

I can compile revision 2639 with gcc 3.3.6 on Linux without these lines of code. But you should note that I still had the few patches mentioned before applied. Perhaps these are necessary and the problems that made these pachtes necessary were introduced by a recent change. That would explain why Pecan could compile Code::Blocks without errors while I couldn't. But with these patches it still works.
