Linux (Fedora Core 6) problem running with rev 3976

<< < (2/2)

d20hes:
Yes under 2.6 even I had no problems, but then I decided to switch to the 2.8.3 version and had this problem of windows hang on startup.

Now I build it with wx-GTK.2.8.4 and it is working fine but some of the controls are not rendered properly like the drop down on compiler settings is too small.

Anyway hang at startup is now gone using wx-GTK-2.8.4.

cstudent:
Looks like there is a 2.8.4 package available for Ubuntu and Debian. I'm in the process of trying out a build. I'll let you know how it goes.

EDIT: Success! See my post here. http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,5956.msg45602/topicseen.html#msg45602

dmoore:
thanks guys.

some follow up (debian) newbie questions:

1. it appears that there are at least two ways to switch between wxWidgets versions for compilation,


--- Code: ---sudo update-alternatives --config wx-config

--- End code ---

alternatively go into the cb project files and change all instances of wx-config to $wx-config and define variable wx-config as /path/to/desired/version/wx-config. is that correct?

2. is update-alternatives supported in all debian packages by default? For example, if I want to maintain several nightlies of codeblocks on my system, can I use update-alternatives to switch between them or would Mandrav need to do some magic (assuming he hasn't already) for that to happen?
