macOS + Fortran contributions
« on: August 15, 2025, 06:59:10 pm »
Hi all,

after long time I've eventually achieved a setup that lets me contribute to CodeBlocks (it's a great code!) and use it profitably on macOS.

To build it successfully I have generated some .cbp macOS project files, and fixes to actually run it (some wxTimer issues would cause segfaults when compiled with clang++).
And, I would like to contribute some advances to the Fortran plugin.

So my question is, how does the SourceForge workflow work? I currenlty use a svn->git repository but I can submit patches either here on the Forum, or on SourceForge directly.

Thank you in advance and let's please discuss what you think is the best approach.

Best,
Federico

Any contribution is welcome, specially those from Mac developers.

The best method for contributing, at least for the initial ones, is posting Subversion patches in the ticket page. Posting in the forum is also valid, but once a post disappears from the main window it will probably be forgotten.

Sounds good, thank you.

So I will open a ticket with the patch file attached.

for Fortran plugin updates, should I also send ticket to the master C::B repository?

Fortran project is a contributed plugin with its own developer and site. Some of us have write access to the repository, but we usually only modify parts not related to the fortran core (p.e. HiDPI changes).
