Code::Blocks SVN does not compile with wxWidgets SVN

[Linux_dWiebe]

I have been hoping with each new revision of C::B and wx that they would happily work together, but alas, every time C::B compile fails with the following error:

I hope you can figure something out from looking at the above, but if you have *any* questions, I will gladly answer them.

Thanks in advance

wx2.9 is a development release, so it is not meant for the general usage and C::B is not fully ported to wx2.9, yet.
Why do you insist on using it with 2.9? If you want to port it feel free to provide patches.

[stahta01]

Patch to fix the error; not tested much; not ready to be applied to trunk or branch.
Only tested on XML compiler branch.

This is a work around; NOT a valid fix because headers added in the wrong spot; but it works OK on XML compiler branch.

Patch I applied to get CB to compile with wxWidgets 2.9 trunk; not sure if the patch is the best solution.
Turns out that in wxWidgets 2.9 the header wx/xrc/xmlres.h no longer includes two other headers as a side effect.
These being "wx/xml/xml.h" and "wx/control.h" (the control.h is via the header wx/animate.h included by xmlres.h ).

Is there a way to make C::B compile with everything but KWIC?
