CodeBlocks build on RHEL 5.5

[screamingindigital]

I downloaded wxWidgets 2.8.11(GTK) and built the libraries successfully.

I then downloaded the CodeBlocks source(SVN-6285) and attempted to build, however it stops after about 15 minutes with the following error.  Before you ask, "Yes!", I did follow the build directions, however I have it as shared libraries.  The Wiki shows to build with static libs.  Is this a requirement?

Here is the error I receive during the build.

What is the result of "wx-config --list"?
Do you have an unicode version of wxGTK?
C::B can't be build with an ansi version of wxGTK.

[screamingindigital]

Doh!

Sorry about my dumb post!   :?

wx-config --list returns...

    Default config is gtk2-ansi-release-2.8


Is "--enable-unicode" the only configure option I need to add to create the necessary libraries?

[oBFusCATed]

Why don't you use binary packages for wxGTK?

[screamingindigital]

I actually have Oracle's version of RHEL 5.5 called "Unbreakable Linux", which has a lot of things "stripped" from the normal distribution.  Also the repositories are limited.  I am sure a binary package for Redhat 5.5 would work, but I would rather recompile.  I have compiled wxGTK before.

I will try it again with unicode support enabled.

FYI, I was using Fedora Core 10 for everything, including Oracle, but I have wanted to try their "Unbreakable Linux".

[oBFusCATed]

Another option is to find srpms (source packages) for RHEL and build binary packages...

[screamingindigital]

I rebuilt wxGTK with unicode and XRC support.  I then rebuilt codeblocks successfully, however, it crashes when I click "File-Open".  I know the preferred method on the Wiki is to use static libs, but that should not matter.  I ran "ldd" on the codeblocks executable and nothing was reported missing.

I have attached the dump file written from the crash.

FYI, many of the libraries are reported more than once because of the symbolic links.

Something is wrong with your wxGTK, does the wxGTK samples work?

[screamingindigital]

Correction to previous post.  I meant "monolithic" instead of "static".  I did not build monolithic.

[screamingindigital]

No problem on the samples.  I built everything in "samples" and tested 10 of them.

[Jenna]

I copy the ./configure line, I use on debian, if I build wxWidgets myself (it's sometimes necessary, for debugging purposes, even if this line is not for debugging, it was to compile wx2.8 from svn).

Code

../configure --prefix=/home/jens/wx-tmp --with-zlib=sys --disable-reserved-virtual --with-gtk --enable-mediactrl --enable-sound --with-sdl --enable-display --enable-geometry --enable-graphics_ctx --with-libtiff=sys --with-libjpeg=sys --with-libpng=sys --enable-unicode --with-opengl --disable-stl --enable-aui --disable-debug

Monolithic is useful on windows, but normally not needed on linux (if you use wx-config).

[screamingindigital]

Obfuscated( ) & Jens,

Thank you for your replies, but I tried it again with Jens' configure options, and I still get a segmentation fault when I click "File-Open".  Most of the other options seem to work okay.  After I ran "make install"(as root), I launched "codeblocks" from the command line to see if there was any output.  I have listed it below.

I have four build versions of wxGTK, and I have tested all of them with the samples.  I do not have any problems.  "Codeblocks" compiles okay, but this runtime error occurs.  I do not believe it is a fault of the code or the wxGTK libraries.

I must be retarded.  I know you suggested getting RHEL 5.5 binaries, but I cannot find any.

I am going to look in the mirror, shout "Schweinhundt!", take my Computer Science degree from the wall, wipe my dog's rear with it, and use it for target practice!  :x

FYI, the latest open source QT will not compile either, because it requires CLIBCXX_3.4.9 for qpatch.

Are you sure that C::B is using the wxGTK it has been built with?
If I were you, I'll remove all wxGTK I don't need and recompile C::B again...

[screamingindigital]

I removed all existing builds for wxWidgets & Codeblocks and started over, but the problem still existed.

I launched Codeblocks through the shell and passed a filename(using "--file=").  It launched and loaded the file.

However, if I try to use "File-Save File As" or "File Open", it will crash.  The log files show lines 2567 and 2477 in "main.cpp".  From what I can decipher from the code and the comments, this is the point where these dialog boxes are called.

So, I thought I should try one of the wxWidgets samples that opens a file.  I used the "docview" sample, and it worked fine.

I then decided to just start and create a new sample project.  I tried three separate projects.  They were created, compiled, and ran without issues.

This could be a total "shot in the dark", but looking at the "main.cpp" file, the tags in "default.conf" are accessed using an xpath style.  Does wxWidgets have some sort of XML api to read, parse, and return values from this file, or are you using something unrelated to wxWidgets?  I do not know enough about wxWidgets to determine this.  Since the "docview" sample worked okay, could there be something causing a problem to the values passed to the dialog box for open/save that are read from the "default.conf" file that causes it to "barf"?

Is there any way to get these values parsed, saved, and passed to methods written to the terminal or a file?

Thanks again for your assistance.

If this becomes too much of a headache, I may be forced to go back to Fedora x64.  I did not have any issues with that.

[oBFusCATed]

Hm, strange... you would have to debug it yourself

The easiest way is to build cb from cb and put some breakpoints here and there to see where and why it crashes.

[screamingindigital]

Okay, I added a bunch of debug statements around the "File-Open" dialog box, and it is crashing at "if (dlg.ShowModal() == wxID_OK)".

Here is the generated output from my debug statements.

/file_dialogs/file_new_open/filter    -->

Any ideas on what would cause this to crash?  I tried removing the "compatibility::wxHideReadonly" from the style parameter, but that did not help.

[oBFusCATed]

Have you tried to run C::B with valgrind, it could be, because of some writing of uninitialized memory?
If valgrind doesn't help, build wxGTK in debug mode and use gdb to trace the crash...

[screamingindigital]

Okay, I'll try that, but it does not make sense that many other programs including wxWidgets sample code work okay.  One of those had open & save capabilities.

I'm getting close to going back to Fedora x64.

[screamingindigital]

I recompiled wxGTK and CodeBlocks with debug enabled.  Using valgrind, here is the output generated when I click "File - Open".  I enabled the option "track-origins" for valgrind.

After "File - Open", the start of the error dump is with "Invalid read of size 1".

I found two tickets on the bug tracker for wxWidgets.  The first shows that the bug occured in 2.6.  The other shows that the problem still occurs in 2.8 and mentions CodeBlocks.

http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/2670

http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/9825

[oBFusCATed]

The second bug is for windows, so it is not related...

What is your gtk+ version?

[screamingindigital]

GTK+

Libraries - 2.10.4-20
Dev Tools - 2.10.4-20

[screamingindigital]

So, has anyone researched this or should I just forget RHEL 5.5. and go back to Fedora?
