Code::Blocks doesn't compile on Ubuntu Linux with wx 2.5
Funto:
I'm trying to compile Code::Blocks on my Ubuntu Linux Hoary system, with wxWidgets 2.5.3 but it doesn't work; most of the problems are due to the wxString class, and using the _() macro solves the problem; however there are a lot of wxStrings in the project...
rickg22:
Yes, it's a known problem. Codeblocks doesn't support unicode yet.
The tested configuration is wxwidgets 2.6.1 (with the patch) compiled WITHOUT unicode support. The compilation instructions are in the wiki.
Funto:
Ok...so if I want to compile I have to change my wxWidgets installation :(
When do you think Code::Blocks is going to support Unicode mode?
Oh yet another thing : is it planned for it to support cross-compiling with MinGW under Linux?
PS : this IDE is really, really a great work, thanks for it, I think it's going to become my main IDE under both platforms :)
PS2 : what do you think about adding SCons support via a plug-in?

After 1.0 is released, which won't be long (RC1 will be released today).

You might want to talk with RShadow. He 's creating a SCons build system for C::B, but not a plugin AFAIK. Search the forums for SCons to find the topic.

Funto,
did you install wx2.5.3 with apt-get?
Because I have yet to see a binary wx package supporting gtk2 (C::B only supports gtk2)...
I suggest you download wxGTK-2.6.1 and build it. It's trivial to compile and a *lot* newer than 2.5.3 you 're currently using.
From personal experience though, the most stable C::B under linux is with wxGTK-2.4.2.

PS: I use Ubuntu 5.04 too and I 'm *thinking* of releasing a .deb for it.
