Settings don't get saved (svn 4454)
Jenna:
How did you compile (or try to compile) the sources ?
If I use C::B to compile C::B it does not work, but if I do it from command-line there's no problem.
Just type (in root of the C::B source-tree):
--- Code: ---./bootstrap
./configure --enable-contrib
make
make install
--- End code ---
I only tried it until make, because I have latest nightlies installed as deb-Packages, build from svn, but it works like a charm.
I used a fresh download from svn4483 in a clean directory.
Edit:
sorry it works, even from inside codeblocks. I forgot to change my standard compilers, before I started C::B. It does not work with gc-4.3 from debian-experimental, I use a shell script to switch to 4.2, I ran it before commandline compiling, but not before starting codeblocks.

In my case, the default compiler was already set correctly from previous C::B sessions so I decided to try your suggestion of 'make'.
At the line ./configure --enable-contrib I get the following error:-
--- Quote ---configure: error:
wxWidgets must be installed on your system.
Please check that wx-config is in path, the directory
where wxWidgets libraries are installed (returned by
'wx-config --libs' or 'wx-config --static --libs' command)
is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent variable and
wxWindows version is 2.6.0 or above.
--- End quote ---
I'm pretty confident that wxWidgets is installed so this must be either be lack of wxWindows or something to do with LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Q1) Do I need wxWindows on a Linux (OpenSuse) system?
Q2) Where would I find (and change) the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable?
Q3) Why is everything so tortuously difficult under Linux???
Jenna:
try the wx-config command from console, you need it to set the flags and library-paths for wxWidgets.

wxWindows is the former name of wxWidgets.
I don't know in which packet you find wx-config on (Open-)Suse.

For me it's much more difficult under Windows, but I use linux (with pauses, without any computer) since the early 1990's

It seems that the wxWidgets-devel package doesn't create any symbolic links during installation. You have two ways to fix this.
1) Create a symbolic link with the following commands.
--- Code: ---cd /usr/bin
su
ln -s /usr/lib/wx/config/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8 wx-config
--- End code ---
2) Or
Issue the following command to configure C::B.
--- Code: ---./configure --enable-contrib --with-wx-config=/usr/lib/wx/config/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8
--- End code ---

Thanks guys. It turned out that under wxWidgets 2.8.x.x the file wx-config seems to have been renamed to wx-config-2.8. I renamed it back to wx-config and everything seems to be progressing.
Just out of interest, what is a typical time taken for a full build? This one's been going for 40-50 minutes and (assuming it's processing the files alphabetically) it looks like I'm in for a long haul. I'm just about up to compilerTcc.cpp (which I'm sure has been done at least twice before).
[Edit...] Forget that - it just finished. One more question though.... how did it know whether to build a Debug version or a Release version?
