wxsmith crashing after upgrade to Ubuntu 17.04
awake:
I will try! My first feeble attempts to compile C:B were not successful. Are these still the most up-to-date instructions: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Linux ? This advocates building against wxWidgets 2.8 - but I note that 16.01 has been built against wxWidgets 3.0 for some time. What is the current recommendation - build against 2.8? Build against 3.02? or 3.03? I presume it is premature to build against 3.1?
oBFusCATed:
Use the latest version of wx3.0.x that is available as a package on your system.
If you build against wx2.8 the problem won't happen.
And for sure you don't want to build wx from scratch!
There should be a -dev or -devel package for wxGTK. Install it and you're good to go.

oBFusCATed,
I feel like I am being terribly dense and troublesome - but why not build wx from scratch? That's what I normally have done for developing programs. Is it that wx has to be built a certain way ... ?
Again, thank you so much for all the trouble you have taken, and your patience with me -- I'm not a newbie with programming or with C:B, but this adventure has taken me into areas that I simply have never done before.
awake:
Okay, I compiled the trunk against the repository wxWidgets development environment - 3.02. Compiled fine. Started C:B and opened the project attached in an earlier thread - the one that sent me down this path in the first place. Once again, wxsmith is not showing the full contents of the frame, nor is it showing its toolbars. When I then close the project, C:B hangs with a blank dialog box.
Attached are the C:B project that I used (which used to work just fine in earlier versions), and a backtrace.
