Compiler Plugin: Plan to add compiler for MSys2

<< < (6/6)

stahta01:
I will research some of the C++ and wx Classes that can be used to replace the class used under CompilerFactory.
I think it will be easier to add the feature you want by changing that class; and, I can then add the feature I want to the new class.

So, I will be planning on changing this line below; and doing other stuff needed to add your feature.


--- Code: ---WX_DEFINE_ARRAY(Compiler*, CompilersArray);

--- End code ---

Looks like I will need to create an wxChoice box that only holds the compilers to be displayed in the compiler list.
And, I will create an wxList to display all the registered compilers; and use that list to select the compilers to be displayed.

I know almost nothing about how to use the wx classes wxChoice, wxList, and wxComboBox.

Files that I need to remember to edit or verify they still work right after my changes include:
src\plugins\compilergcc\compileroptionsdlg.cpp
src\plugins\scriptedwizard\compilerpanel.cpp     I have no idea where the compiler list in scripted wizard gets its data.


I have decided to add an new GUI entry in the "Compiler Settings" windows either above or below "Batch Builds" called "Compiler List" to do the GUI stuff for this feature. The "Global Compiler Settings"/"Project build Options" is just to busy to add anything to it.

I will likely move or remove the option "Enable non-platform Compiler" from the "Other settings Tab".

I am going to create an class called "CompilerList" or "cbCompilerList" and fill that with the registered compiler list and then give options to delete compilers from the list. This will be my next attempt at coding the feature you want.

Buttons likely to be on the Compiler List GUI include
Add  All              to add all the registered compilers to the list.
Auto Remove     to remove invalid compilers from the list using the compiler class isValid method
Remove             to delete the selected compilers from the list.
Save                 save the compiler in the list to external location on harddrive
Cancel/Load      to load list from external location on the harddrive

Will post a link to my Git repo in which I am going the work when I make progress; likely be a few days.
My Linux partition was broken by Windows 10; so, I need to either fix Linux or figure out a safe way to update Git repo on Windows.
Edit: Fixed Linux; was able to do apt upgrade and that fixed the no GUI on Linux (I had thought it was NOT booting at all).

I edited the CompilerFactory adding what I thought was good code; but, it does nothing.

I am going to try again in a few weeks; but, I think the issue is user error.

Looks like I need to learn more C++ and wxWidgets events.
And, how to use CB to debug CB plugins.
