Getting started with Code::Block

(1/4) > >>

phamtv:
I just realized that I will have to create custom plugins in order to integrate support for my embedded devices into Code::Block. Thus, I have a couple of newbie questions:

1. I successfully downloaded and recompiled the CodeBlocks Workspace wx2.8.x (Unix) using Code::Block.  However, I cannot seem to run/debug the application.  I clicked on the Debug->Start menu option. Immediately, I get a pop-up dialog prompting to select a target.  I tried all of them but cannot seem to get the correct target that will start the app (main.cpp).

2.  Are there references/guides on how to create a complex plugin?  My goal is to design and implement something similar to the EPS Debugger plugin suite.

Thanks in advance for your time and support!

1.  Generally all targets should be able to start C::B. The one specifically for the application is "src". Keep in mind that you have to run the update.sh file before starting C::B.
2. No, Look in the source. You need to look at cbDebuggerPlugin.

p.s. the EPS Debugger seems to be doing most of the Debugger UI separately without using available dialogs/APIs.

Thanks oBFusCATed for the quick response!  I am looking through the directories for update.sh but cannot locate the .sh file.  I've located: update, update29, and update30 plain text documents in codeblocks-13.12/src folder.  Are these the one you are referencing?

Best regards.

Jenna:
On linux with wx2.8 ./update is what you need to run.
Some other shell-scripts (needed with autotools) have the .sh extensions.

Thanks for the reply Jen!  I am running into another issue I can't resolve.  I followed your instructions to get all the lib references/tools (from http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=15137.0) in order to compile code::block source code.  However, when I try to build the "File Manager Plugin" project using Code::Block, I get errors indicated below even though I've done the sudo apt-get install command to retrieve the libgamin-dev libraries.  

- undefined reference to FAMOpen
- undefined reference to FAMClose
- undefined reference to FAMCancelMonitor
- undefined reference to FAMMonitorDirectory
- undefined reference to FAMNextEvent
- undefined reference to FAMPending

Any suggestions how I can resolve this?
