--- Quote from: Krice on March 16, 2025, 09:43:43 am ---In some unrelated projects people have solved this by creating a symlink to libtiff which in this case is libtiff.so.6.0.2 (other files are symlinks themselves) so I did that in my usr/lib64, but now it's just giving an error already in the compile phase, in astyle.h:


--- Code: ---In file included from asstreamiterator.h:15,
                 from asstreamiterator.cpp:10:
/usr/include/astyle.h:295:44: error: 'std::string_view' has not been declared
  295 |         const std::string* findHeader(std::string_view line, int i,
      |                                            ^~~~~~~~~~~

--- End code ---

This seems to indicate that something doesn't include std::string header, right?

Edit: also, there could be some kind of confusion in including astyle.h in asstreamiterator.h. If you use angle brackets it's trying to find the file in usr/library while there is also plugins/astyle/astyle directory where you can find another astyle.h which is not included unless you write #include "astyle/astyle.h", well I guess depending how this project is handling that kind of stuff, could be something else happening.

This is because if astyle is installed in the PC,  codeblocks uses it instead of that in sdk. Astyle installed in your PC is new and uses c++17 features, but codeblocks still uses c++11 flags. That is why compilation fails.

You can try following patch


--- Code: ---diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac
index 1d4898a28..b8ed0b7cf 100644

If I remember correctly, "AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX(17, noext)" will result in wxSmith not building.

Krice:
Fixed astyle by searching which files were including astyle.h with angle brackets, there are three headers in astyle directory: asstreamiterator.h, dlgformattersettings.h and formattersettings.h. Changed those to "astyle/astyle.h" which seemed like what they should be in the first place, because now they are using the astyle that is in the plugin directory.

I still got wx errors after that so I thought why not compile wx from the source, because it seems to want to use the usr/local version anyway. Wx compiled without errors which means I must have compiled it earlier. Then sudo make install and that was it. Code::Blocks compiled after that.

I don't know if this is supposed to happen, but the new Code::Blocks overwrites the one installed from Fedora Software, because when you click the icon it runs the new version.

Miguel Gimenez:
Angle brackets changed to double quotes in r13635, thank you for reporting.

christo:
@Miguel Gimenez I think above patch can cause compiling against astyle headers provided in codeblocks,  and link to astyle libraries present in the system. This might cause issues because of ABI incompatibility.
