wxSmith develpers: Intergation of new items in Linux build
« on: June 24, 2011, 07:12:41 am »
Dear developers interested in wxSmith,

I've setup a SVN branch for a while now that integrates a lot more wxSmith items contributed by several people. All that's needed is the integration into the Linux automake system and an update of the C::B Linux/Unix project files. One this is done we can merge the items into trunk.

So, if you know "autofoo" and are willing to contribute, checkout the branch at:
http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/codeblocks/branches/wxsmith_addons
and start updating the build system (see the other wxSmith items as a reference). Any help is greatly appreciated.

Question are welcome (of course).

I can tackle this problem, my auto-fu is not that good, but it is improving, unfortunately:)

What is the plan for the merge? Will it be replacing or you'll try a proper merge?

I can probably do it this weekend or during the next week (I will come back from work this night, very, very latey).

Jens: I'll give it a try and if I fail, I'll post, so you can do it:)

I would do a plain "copy", not a proper merge. In the end it's an addition of several plugin/components, only. So I don't want to resolve a million conflicts just for the sake of perfectionism. ;-)

BTW: Interesting to see devs call "here", I actually addressed the community. Oh - and keep in mind that some additions are incompatible to Linux, like IExplore...

OK, started with the first one alphabetically, wxSmithButton...

Here is a rough patch for linux (I guess I've broken the windows build, no time and energy to try it there): http://smrt.is-a-geek.org/codeblocks/patches/wxsmith/wxsmithbutton.patch

Does this thing work on windows? There are some mismatches in the manifest and name of the generated library. I've fixed them, and renamed the thing to wxSmithButton.

@MortenMacFly:
There are many differences in the projectfile(s ?) between the branch and trunk.
It seems some of the merges did not really succeed.

Neither the windows nor the linux core-project-file should be compilable (linux is  definitely not [LexModula.cxx is missing from cbp-file]), and the prefix-extension-stuff is quite different between both versions.

I did not check other parts for inconsistencies, but I think this should be fixed first.

Mmmh... are you sure you didn't miss a SVN update / clean checkout? I checked out both: trunk and the wxSmith branch and compared them with a comparison tool. They are the same except the changes for wxSmith related plugins. :shock:

My local copy was broken for unknown reasons  :? .
After a freash (clean) checkout, everything seems to be okay now.

As first, we should decide, whether we want one project-file for windows and one for linux (like the most contrib-plugins have) or one for both with targets for windows and linux.
 I personally prefer the first solution, because it's to maintain (in my opinion) and looks more clear.
Otherwise we would need targets like:
  • SpeedButton - Windows
  • SpeedButton - Linux
  • wxSmithButton - Windows
  • wxSmithButton - Linux

As far as I can tell contrib plugins use both schemes: there are plugins having two cbp files and there are plugins with a common cbp.

IMHO only one plugin uses the platform flag (wxAUI) as tech demo -> so please, leave it as it is for this plugin. The other should have two project files, one for Linux, one for Windows.

Understood...


BTW, Why don't we put the new things in the wxSmithContrib plugin or in a contrib2 plugin.
Having one plugin for SpeedButton seems like an overkill (it even creates its own toolbar in the interfaces :()
