[puneet_m]

How can I compile the source code of codeblock? and where is it located?

Thanks,
Puneet

Get the sourcecode with your svn client at svn://svn.berlios.de/codeblocks/trunk.
How to compile cb depends on your os. Have a look at the wiki, you will find all information, there.

Please read the following article. This would be helpful.

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Windows

You've to download the C::B source from SVN. Following page has appropriate links to download source.

When I try to build the source code it gives the following error:

sdk\wxscintilla\src\PlatWX.cpp  633 error:class wxWindow has no member named SetTitle.

What could be the reason for this error?

Which version of wxWidgets are you using? You should use wxMSW 2.8.4

[puneet_m]

Infact I was using 2.8.4 and the problem was because of the newer version. I tried using 2.6.4 and it got compiled. But it is giving some linking errors. I have made a monolithic library for wxWidget and am giving the correct path for it.Any ideas as to what could be the reason for this problem.

It shows the following error:

cannot find -lwxxrc

Why does it show this when I have linked all the libraries.

Thanks,

cannot find -lwxxrc

Why does it show this when I have linked all the libraries.

It says it can't find libwxxrc.a. It would be much easier for the people in the forum to identify your problem if you are clear with your question. Let me ask you few.

1. OS version?
2. wxWidgets version?
3. wxWidgets build?
4. Compilation method (makefile or project file)?
5. What does "all the libraries" mean??
6. Did you maintain library order??

If you say it doesn't work without providing necessary details. People, like me, will post one answer - "It works for me!".

OS Version:Windows XP
wxWidgets version : wxWidget 2.6.4
Build Method:
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1  clean
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1

Project File, I just use CodeBlocks.cbp and fire build from Code::Blocks

Library Linked:libwxmsw26u.a (since it is monolithic)

Please don't use Code::Blocks RC2. 

It's an old code which may not compile with latest wx sources. It's use is highly NOT recommended.

1. Remove all traces of C::B RC2 from your PC including the MinGW compiler installed with it.
2. Download and install a latest nightly build of C::B from the following forum.

http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/board,20.0.html

Read the following article for installation details.

http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,3232.0.html

3. Install GCC-3.4.5 (MinGW build) at C:\MinGW (recommended).
4. Download the latest source from SVN (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Windows) and compile it. Please note that this article is bit old.

Alternatively you may download latest source tarball from the following link.

http://www.esnips.com/web/CodeBlocks-SVN-TarBall

Another point you should keep in mind that Path containing Spaces may create problem with certain programs (windres.exe) and this may break compilation. So put the source in a path which doesn't have space in between.

Please note that C::B has moved to wx-2.8. So try to compile the latest source using wx-2.8 (recommended).

Thanks Biplab for your help. It got compiled successfully. But after I run update.bat, it gives the following error --

zip is not recongnized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
The system cannot find the file specified.

Download the zip.exe from the following link.

http://www.info-zip.org/Zip.html#Win32

Extract the zip file and put zip.exe in C:\MinGW\bin or any other folder mentioned in %PATH%.

Best Regards,

Biplab

Thanks Biplab. It is working fine now.
