MSys2 package to install Code::Blocks; is it wanted?

(1/2) > >>

stahta01:
Note: MSys2 is a fork of CygWin.

I am trying to convert my computer usage to an Linux Distro.
And, I found one annoying thing about C::B the yes,no,cancel buttons are reversed between Linux and Windows.

So, I decided to build Code::Blocks on Windows using GTK; so, when switching from one OS to anther I do NOT get confused.

Since, I am also trying to use MSys2 GCC instead of other GCC's compilers; I have started work on creating an MSys2 package to install Code::Blocks. It can now install Code::Blocks, with only the core plugins, linked to wxMSW2.8 under MSys2; but, it fails to run because the resource files are missing.

I still need to figure out where the resource files should be placed under MSys2.

The plan is to next build linking to wxMSW3.0 and then wxGTK3.0; if anyone wants to maintain the MSys2 wxMSW3.0 package please reply to this post. My long term plans mean, I will need to create an wxGTK3.0 MSys2 package in time.

Edit: The reason for wxMSW2.8, wxMSW3.0, and wxGTK versions are to help me determine the run-time errors cause.

Hi,
i stumbled across msys2 lately and asked myself why not try to create a codeblocks package.

Did you had success? I tried to read you instructions on github, but was not very successful. I can not run bootstrap, or better it runs but does not create a configure script. Did you had the same issue?

Link to my repo; not built it in the last few months.
https://github.com/stahta01/MINGW-packages/tree/wx/apps

Edit: I stopped work a few months ago; too much else to do. And, I still have not decided if I should put the config files inside of the MSys2 mingw folders or leave them where they are under windows normally.

Edit2: The package builds and the program runs the last time I tried; no idea what directions you are talking about.
I did not test the build past starting up and exiting from the program.

Edit3: Looks like it needs to have wxWidgets built; instead of the already built wxWidgets.

Thank you for the work!

i have now tested this repo and it works until after bootstrap:

stahta01:
Have you installed the standard packages needed to build MSys2 mingw packages.


--- Code: ---pacman -S --needed --asdeps base-devel
pacman -S --needed --asdeps mingw-w64-i686-toolchain
pacman -S --needed --asdeps mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain

--- End code ---

I am trying to build my mingw-w64-codeblocks-git package right now.
It has made it one line past your posted log result; but, seems to be taking a lot of time to go past that one line; finally printed several lines one after another.

--- Code: ---libtoolize: copying file 'm4/lt~obsolete.m4'
main::scan_file() called too early to check prototype at /usr/bin/aclocal-1.11 line 644.
configure.ac:39: installing `./compile'
configure.ac:7: installing `./config.guess'
configure.ac:7: installing `./config.sub'
configure.ac:22: installing `./install-sh'

--- End code ---

Edit: I am building an sourcecode wxWidgets msys2 mingw package needed by mingw-w64-codeblocks-svn; will test it later.

Edit2: I am only doing 32 bit builds because it is on an Win10 32 bit computer.

Edit3: I am expecting one of the wxSmith plugins to error out because that is what happen in mingw-w64-codeblocks-svn a few months back.

Edit4: The normal command I use to build msys2 mingw packages

--- Code: ---makepkg-mingw -sLf
--- End code ---

Edit5: Number one newbie mistake is building msys2 mingw packages from msys2 mingw prompt instead of from msys2 prompt.

Edit6: Trying again with NassiShneiderman plugin disabled; because of boost library link error
