Code::Blocks Windows wxWidgets 3.1.0 64-bit

(1/5) > >>

headkase:
I've been updating the Building Code::Blocks from source on Windows wiki page.

I've managed to build wxWidgets 3.1.0 and Code::Blocks both 64-bit.  The Windows projects however are hard-coded for wxWidgets 3.0.x.  A bit of editing the configuration files gets past that.  There are outstanding issues however, like when closing the IDE and then attempting to relaunch it it complains that it is already running - the old process doesn't terminate completely.  Other issues are present as well I'm sure.

Would it be possible to get the project files properly updated to source wxWidgets 3.1.0?  That is the latest stable version from upstream, along with 2.8.12.  Getting the project files to reflect 3.1.0 would then allow easier building which means easier testing.

Why do I want a full 64-bit 3.1.0 build on Windows?  Because it's freakin' 2017 man.  :P  ;)

This is wrong. Latest stable is 3.0.2. 3.1.0 is a development version.From wxwidgets.org:

Anyways: if you want to report bugs, do so, but make sure to search the tickets before posting. There are lots of issues reported against wx3.x, some are fixed already and some are not.

Damn it, I didn't realize that 3.1.0 was a development branch.  I'll go back over the Wiki and update everything back to 3.0.2.

headkase:
A question: is there an "official" compiler that is meant to be used with Code::Blocks?  The reason I ask is that I've been using MinGW-Builds GCC 6.3.0.  That, apparently, will not compile wxWidgets 3.0.2.  The installing from source page I wrote along with MinGW-Builds.  I know TDM-GCC has had a "preferred" status but the most current version of that is 5.1.0.  If TDM is preferred then I will go back and re-write the page using that as a reference.

Keep in mind that C::B built with wx3.x will probably be as buggy as wx3.1. So if you don't intend to report detailed bugs or post patches it is not a good idea to use it.
As far as I know the nightlies are using tdm 5.x and the last release is using 4.9. The 5.1 builds have some issue caused by the compiler no one has time to research. I'm using only linux, so I don't know what is the exact situation.
