Hit Snag in Makefile - help -lwx_gtk2_xrc

[Boder]

Everything was going peachy until this linking part. Here is the error, I added an echo in the Makefile to see the exact line.

I have wxGTK 2.4.2. What other libraries do I need? Any ideas? Thank you, I really want to try Code::Blocks.

You need the contrib libs for wxGTK, especially XRC and STC. If you tell us what kind of distro you have, we might be able to tell you what's the package's name.

I'm running SUSE 9.1. I installed wxGTK from the .rpm packages at ftp.suse.com. Here is what YaST shows when I search for "wx"

I have the feeling that the SuSE RPMs, are for GTK1. Codeblocks builds only with GTK2.
I will install SuSE here, check out all the needed prerequisites and then I 'll come back to you...

Okay, update time ! Yay!

I tried compiling on Ubuntu "Warty Warthog" but the wx packages were linked against gtk1 so that crashed a nd burned early. So I went back to SUSE and switched to the 9.2 directory to get packages. Now the wx_gtk version is 2.5. So I tried making code::blocks hit the first snag before finding the wxSingleChoiceDialog "fix" then I got to the last step... linking   but now it gives me undef. refs.

Okay I got Code::Blocks to compile on Ubuntu Warty Warthog, but I can't get it to run.

Let me make sure I'm correct here... Code::Blocks has to compile with wxWindows-2.4.2 with is compiled against GTK2, even though wxWindows-2.4.2 is compiled against GTK1 by default? And it doesn't compile with wxWindows-2.5?

I got it compile against 2.4.2 with GTK1, but I haven't got it to run. Do I have to copy libcodeblocks.so to /usr/lib? When I run codeblocks.exe from the devel folder, it says that it can't find Resources.zip or something.

[mandrav]

It doesn't run with GTK1, it segfaults (if someone knows why, please share).
This is what I do:

• Unpack the wx242 tarball
• Run ./configure --enable-gtk2 in its directory
  
• Run make
  
• Run su -c "make install"
  
• Build codeblocks by running make -f Makefile.unix in <codeblocks_sources>/src
  
• Run ./update in <codeblocks_sources>/src
  [/list:u]
  Then I launch codeblocks using the shell script generated: <codeblocks_sources>/src/output/run.sh
  Codeblocks can also be built with wx2.5.x. IIRC no changes are needed, except for the top of the Makefile.unix file.
  
  HTH,
  Yiannis.

Hi,
 is it possible to have binaries for Linux as *.rpm ?

Thanks

[mandrav]

Yes, as long as someone provides them that is...

I've installed wxGTK with yum on Fedora Core 3 from freshrpms, i create a new yum repository in "/etc/yum.repos.d/" named "freshrpms.repo" with the following lines:

Code

[freshrpms]
name=Fedora Linux $releasever - $basearch - freshrpms
baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms
gpgcheck=0

than I can install wxGTK

Code

yum install wxGTK
yum install wxGTK-devel

Before execute the make command we must change 3 lines in the "Makefile.unix" (changing from gtk2 to gtk):

Code

LIB_WX=wx_gtk-$(WX_VER)

LIB_WXSTC=wx_gtk_stc-$(WX_VER)

LIB_WXXRC=wx_gtk_xrc-$(WX_VER)

Now you can run the make command

Code

make -f Makefile.unix

before run "make update" yum must use the dos2unix command:

Code

dos2unix -n update update.unix
./update.unix

And now yuo can run codeblocks with the "run.sh" script in the "output" directory!
