Hmmm,
On further inspection that patch does not fix my problem(it seemed odd that it would), though I am still confident that the backslash was incorrect.
What I have found is after completing a make,
The shell script src/src/codeblocks and the program src/src/.libs/lt-codeblocks can launch C::B succesfully, but src/src/.libs/codeblocks and /usr/share/bin/codeblocks both complain of the undefined wxScrollingDialog symbol.
I haven't figured this out yet. Any hints would be appreciated.
