Mac OS development
roxlu:
Hi,
I want to help with the development of Code::Blocks on Mac osx. I've been using
Code::Blocks on windows for a while and I just love it. Though on Mac it's not really
stable. As I'll be developing a lot on a Mac (I recently switched over totally) I want
to start fixing some things.
I'm wondering if there is someone else, hopefully the lead developer, with whom I can
start this. I've been downloading the SVN trunk a couple of times this week and each
time I try to compile it on my Mac the compilation breaks at some point. Most of these
errors are because of Mac related issues with wxWidgets. I've been able to fix most
of them and got it compiled.
I would love to help and create a compilable version of the trunk on MacOS. I'm often on
irc, so just msg me when you've got some time or to make an appointment to fix some things!

That is great news! A user with the nickname "afb" (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1384) in this forum may help you with starting. Any patches concerning MAC are welcome and will be prioritised (as most of the core team does not have a MAC). Hence please make sure you follow our code style and comment what and why you changed so we can understand and don't remove it in the code later again. ;-) Also (if possible) cross-check your modifications with another OS (Windows or Linux), hence it's not a must as other people can do that, too.

The build procedure is outlined, although a bit outdated on the Wiki:
Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Mac_OS_X
That page should be updated for Mac OS X 10.6 and wxWidgets 2.8,
as it's currently covering 10.4 and 2.6. No major differences, though.
Basically it's just ./configure && make just like everywhere else...
I haven't used C::B to rebuild itself, although that is a possibility ?
PS. Most people do have a MAC, even if not everyone has a Mac. ;-)
I won't get started on the OSX name, other than that I don't use it.

I'm not aware of any major compilation issues, other than that
you need to use wxMac and -m32 rather than wxCocoa and -m64.
But any bug reports or code patches are most welcome, as always...
