Building with wxWidgets 2.9

Developer forums (C::B DEVELOPMENT STRICTLY!) > Development

Cryogen:

Has anyone managed to do this, lately? I've read everything I can find here and elsewhere but can't get it to work.

Firstly, wx2.9.1 release refused to build with both mingw and TDM. I eventually managed to get the latest SVN (2.9.2) to build with TDM but nothing I've tried will get C::B to build.

I've tried every combination of wxUSE_PROPGRID and wxUSE_STC, with and without the removal of the propgrid and scintilla requirements from the build file. I saw some propgrid errors but they seemed to stop when using wxUSE_PROPGRID=1 and removing propgrid from the build settings but I can't get past a bunch of scintilla errors whatever I try. I've rebuilt wx so many times I've lost count. If anyone has managed it I'd love to know how you did it.

Cheers,

Cryo.

I am trying to do it; but, it will take about 24 hours to finish since I have other things to do.
It worked with 2.9.0; I do not remember if it worked with 2.9.1.

I used wxWidgets version of PropertyGrid and Code::Blocks version of STC the last time it worked for me.

But, Code::Blocks STC has changed since then. And, wxWidgets has had major changes.

Will post my results, when I succeed or fail.

For my first try
Using wxWidgets trunk SVN 65660.
And, the TDM's GCC Compiler shipped with Code::Blocks 10.05
Under MS Windows 6.1 AKA 7 32bit (64bit was broken in C::B the last time I tried.)

stahta01:
On the Building of Code::Blocks against wxWidgets are you having:
Compiler errors?
Linking errors?
or Run-time errors?

It compiled and linked OK for me then I get run-time errors.

patch for CodeBlocks.cbp; that I am using on second re-build of Code::Blocks trunk; it has not finished yet. I will check on it in morning. CB Loaded OK

Jenna:
Using wxWidgets propgrid should work (after some changes), but you have to use "our" scintilla, because there are some C::B specific patches we use.
Nevertheless there are other errors with wx2.9 that have not been fixed until now.
There is a thread about C::B and wx2.9, but you have to search for it.

stahta01:
I used the new Build of Code::Blocks linked against wxWidgets trunk to build Code::Blocks. It still has an issue on shutdown.

Did not try the contrib plugins; took me several hours and still two or three contrib plugins failed last time I tried 3 or so months ago.

Note: I was the person who started the first two threads on building C::B with wxWidgets 2.9.x.

Note: I have never gotten C::B to build and run using 64Bit TDM/other MinGW GCC under Windows.

In setup.h make sure "wxUSE_STC" is defined as "0". Note, use "USE_OPENGL=1" is not required.
