cb still hangs at startup on arch Linux, cb-trunk build with the distributed wx-3.2.9. In my Makefile, wxSmith plugins are disabled at configure:
(cd $(build) && \
LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH=$(WX_PREFIX)/lib \
CC=${CC} CXX=${CXX} ../$(trunk)/configure \
--enable-debug=yes \
--enable-pch=no \
--prefix=$(PREFIX) \
--with-wx-config=$(WX_PREFIX)/bin/wx-config --with-wx-prefix=$(WX_PREFIX) \
--with-contrib-plugins=all,\
-wxsmith,-wxsmithaui,-wxsmithcontrib,\
-NassiShneiderman,-codesnippets,-dragscroll)
Console output at startup is:

already in RTTI table - have you used wxIMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC_CLASS() multiple times or linked some object file twice)?
Please note the assert. I have seen this a few times over the years. I use an out of tree build. The installation directories of cb are pristine and without stale files. I verified this, recompiled, reinstalled but the assert remains.

make[5]: *** [Makefile:534: sc_wxtypes.lo] Error 1
I had this compile error since autum. Currently, I am able to compile and run cb with wx-trunk set back to this commit:
Autor: Eran Ifrah <eran@codelite.org> 2025-10-29 19:13:14
Eintragender: Vadim Zeitlin <vadim@wxwidgets.org> 2025-11-01 16:06:17
Eltern: 4bf58e23b69480166b34d326ce06385e6c97f916 (Fix a small typo in wxStyledTextCtrlMiniMap comment)
My wxWidgets has been configured for years this way:
mkdir -p $(BUILD)
(cd $(BUILD) && ../$(TRUNK)/configure --prefix=$(WX_PREFIX) --with-cxx=17 --with-gtk --without-libtiff --enable-debug)
Please note: wx installed in /opt/wx requires ld to find it when linking cb:
echo $(WX_PREFIX)/lib >/etc/ld.so.conf.d/wxwidgets.conf
