CVS changes

[mandrav]

Some things have changed in CVS:

• Code::Blocks is now using the GNU build system (autoconf/automake), at least for non-windows platforms
• All provided makefiles are now gone :shock:
• Many doc files have been moved from src/ to the top-level folder (COPYING, AUTHORS, etc)

Well, how does Code::Blocks build now?
I will update the relevant README files but until I do, here goes:

Windows
Download latest stable Code::Blocks if you don't already have it (shame on you!)
Open with it the CodeBlocks.cbp (wx2.4) or CodeBlocks.wx2.6.cbp (wx2.6) project file, edit the project's custom variables (to point to your wx installation) and build it.

Unix
The very first time you unpack the source (or checkout from CVS), you need to run ./bootstrap. This will create a sane building environment.
Then just do the usual stuff:

Code

mkdir -p build/release
cd build/release
../../configure
make
sudo make install

or

Code

mkdir -p build/debug
cd build/debug
../../configure --enable-debug
make
sudo make install

Use 'configure --help' to see what things you can enable/disable.

With that said, it works for me but I 'd like to know if people are having problems with it.

Reporting in from Debian (SimpleMepis 3.3.1), wx2.6.1, NonUnicode, Code::Blocks HEAD.

It stops at make with errors: Makefile:429: .deps/Managers.Plo: No such file or directory and so on.

BTW, what is a ".Plo"?

See the attached file.

Sorry about that. There are a couple of files missing. I will add them ASAP.

I forgot to add: the build system is not yet complete. The make 'install' and 'uninstall' targets work. What doesn't work yet is 'clean', 'dist' and 'distclean'. Don't try those because it will erase files from your working copy!!!

[mandrav]

Done, missing files added

[grv575]

running ./bootstrap:

Code

aclocal:configure.in:147: warning: macro `AM_PATH_WXCONFIG' not found in library
configure.in:147: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_WXCONFIG
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
root:/usr/src/codeblocks# wx-config --prefix
/opt/wx/2.6

[grv575]

This seems to work for me:

Code

#echo `wx-config --prefix`/share/aclocal >> `aclocal --print-ac-dir`/dirlist

which creates on my system:

Code

# cat /usr/share/aclocal/dirlist
/opt/wx/2.6/share/aclocal

[mandrav]

There is hardcoded path in bootstrap (left by accident).
Edit it and change 'aclocal -I /usr/local/share/aclocal' to 'aclocal' (or update the path for your system).
This is already fixed in CVS.

[grv575]

one more thing:

Code

make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/src/codeblocks/src/sdk/resources'
cd . && \
        zip -j manager_resources.zip *.xrc images/*.png > /dev/null
mv ./manager_resources.zip .
mv: `./manager_resources.zip' and `./manager_resources.zip' are the same file
make[4]: *** [manager_resources.zip] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/codeblocks/src/sdk/resources'
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/codeblocks/src/sdk'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/codeblocks/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/codeblocks'
make: *** [all] Error 2

the Makefile in codeblocks/src/sdk/resources should probably use
mv -f
for after it zips the manager_resources (my $srcdir = .)

[grv575]

This part is failing now (same problem):

Code

resources.zip:
        cd $(top_srcdir)/src/src/resources && \
                zip  resources.zip *.xrc images/*.png images/16x16/*.png > /dev/
null
        mv -f $(top_srcdir)/src/src/resources/resources.zip .

start_here.zip:
        cd $(top_srcdir)/src/src/resources/start_here && \
                zip start_here.zip *.htm* *.jpg > /dev/null
        mv -f $(top_srcdir)/src/src/resources/start_here/start_here.zip .

I had to change those mv commands to mv -f
to get it to work.

I think this applies to all the resources directories (src/plugins/astyle/resources is the same).

(you're doing mkdir build; cd build; ../configure.  I'm calling configure from the codeblocks directory...)



Edit: changing mv to mv -f doesn't actually work (same error).  It was just not giving an error again since I was fixing the Makefiles as they failed and then running make again (which just reported nothing to do for that directory...)

the Makefile in codeblocks/src/sdk/resources should probably use
mv -f
for after it zips the manager_resources (my $srcdir = .)

Yes, I can see it failing for in-place builds (I build out-of-place).
I 'll fix it. Thanks.

Hi!

Now compiles ok  , but doesn't run. :|

Can you verify that /usr/local/share/codeblocks (if you used the default prefix) contains the codeblocks data files?
IIRC, I had this kind of error when some data was missing (which reminds me to find what's wrong and test for it properly )...

No clue what changed in latest cvs configure script but it's not working on my system:

Code

*** ./configure: line 22858: syntax error near unexpected token `ac_header'
*** ./configure: line 22858: `for ac_header in X11/Intrinsic.h'

  if test $succeeded = yes; then
     :
  else
     { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: Library requirements (gtkglextmm-1.0 libgl
ademm-2.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them." >&5
echo "$as_me: error: Library requirements (gtkglextmm-1.0 libglademm-2.0) not me
t; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries
 are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them." >&2;}
   { (exit 1); exit 1; }; }
  fi
;;

for ac_header in X11/Intrinsic.h
do

If those ;; semicolons are removed it doesn't error out there, but the if branches above don't work somehow (it doesn't include the libs it was looking for -  Library requirements (gtkglextmm-1.0 libglademm-2.0) not met;).  Not sure why configure seems to be broken (syntax errors :/ ).  I am compiling against wx ansi debug if that makes a difference.

Edit: went back and set wx-config back to the non-debug version of wx, reran bootstrap and configure (no flags this time) and same error msg.  configure worked yesterday with the same settings 

looking at cvs it looks like it happens here:

Code

checking for dlopen in -ldl... yes
checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes
checking for snprintf... yes
checking for vsnprintf... yes
./configure: line 22858: syntax error near unexpected token `ac_header'
./configure: line 22858: `for ac_header in X11/Intrinsic.h'

  succeeded=no

  if test -z "$PKG_CONFIG"; then
    # Extract the first word of "pkg-config", so it can be a program name with a

set dummy pkg-config; ac_word=$2

Does that case statement look right?
