wxsmith crashing after upgrade to Ubuntu 17.04

(1/9) > >>

awake:
All,

Not sure if the problem is actually with the upgrade to 17.04, or something else - but after the upgrade, I've not been able to get wxsmith to successfully open any existing project - all of it shows up in the explorer bar on the left, but only part of it shows up visibly, and the toolbar and side panel do not show. Same behavior with either the stock Ubuntu C:B 16.01 or the Damien_Moore PPA version.

When I tried building a completely new project, wxsmith worked fine ... until the frame began to get slightly complicated: I started with wxFrame, then wxSizer, then wxPanel, then wxSizer (horizontal), which contains two additional sizers (both vertical), one with two buttons and one with a button, a text box, and a radio button. At that point, when leaving the project, C:B crashes.

I'm sure I need to provide additional information, but this is my first posting here (though I've been using C:B successfully for many years), so please let me know what will be most helpful to supply. Thanks!

Not an Ubuntu user; but, there are many CB/wxWidgets problems when running under the Unity desktop.

One poster implied the issue was partly caused by the Ubuntu built wxWidgets/wxGTK; but, I have no idea if that is true.

Update - I decided to try building C:B from source to see if that eliminated the problem. New problem: can't build C:B from source using configure/make -- I finally got a clean configure and make, but then I cannot get it to compile. If I compile wxWidgets --using-stl, then I get one set of errors; if I compile wxWidgets without stl, then I get a different set of errors; and either way, I can't seem to figure out a way around the problems. Has anyone successfully compiled C:B on Ubuntu 17.04 using wxWidgets 3.03?? If so, any and all help will be most appreciated!

On edit - as I was typing, Tim's email came in. Tim, I'm compiling wxWidgets 3.03 rather than relying on the built-in wxWidgets libraries. wx-config correctly points to the version I compiled - monolithic, with XRC, unicode - and as I said, trying both using-stl and not.

without error message it is difficult to help...
have you looked at the wiki:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Linux

there are also some ppas out there:
https://launchpad.net/~damien-moore/+archive/ubuntu/codeblocks-stable
https://launchpad.net/~pasgui/+archive/ppa/

i don't know if there are active...

Don't bother building yourself. Use any of the prebuilt packages, a nightly PPA will be best.

First read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace and them post some backtraces.
If you post the exact steps needed to reproduce the problem, then we could try to reproduce them ourselves and then fix them.
Make sure that the steps executed multiple times result in the same problem.
