linking error while debugging c::b on windows.

[sanjivg]

I built c::b on windows.
The codeblocks.exe/dll/a  got generated in the devel and output directories.
when I try to debug it, looks like it is relinks c::b exe again and fails with following error.

C:/Personal/Softwares/cb/codeblocks-1.0-RC1-1/src/src/app.cpp:176: undefined reference to `MainFrame::MainFrame(wxWindow*)'

The full command line is as

I had checked off the single instance check.
Also,
while running update.bat , the zip command was missing.
Does that make any difference.

Also, where can I get the zip command for windows?

Yes, it does. If you have no zip command, resource files (*.zips containing .xrcs and .bmps) are not being created. C::B crashes without having them.

This this worked fine for me.

I gave up building with wxWindows2.4.x and started building with wxWidgets2.6.1 instead as described in the wiki page below

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Compiling_wxWidgets_2.6.1_to_develop_Code::Blocks_%28MSW%29

Everything seems fine..but following errors in linking

Do we need to build xrc separately?

I am not using current CVS sources but 1.0-RC1 sources tarball.

[sanjivg]

I guess, latest CVS sources too use libwxxrc.a

I can not access CVS due to some network settings.
Where can I download a latest CVS snapshot of c::b?

[sanjivg]

I could successfully build the lates CVS snapshot on wxWidgets 2.6.1 on my windows xp box today.
The only change I required to make was to comment out wxDebugReport in app.cpp, as it was producing link errors.

void CodeBlocksApp::OnFatalException()
{
#if wxCHECK_VERSION(2,6,0)
#if 0
    wxDebugReport report;
    wxDebugReportPreviewStd preview;

    report.AddAll();
    if ( preview.Show(report) )
        report.Process();
#endif
#else
    wxMessageBox(_("Something has gone wrong inside " APP_NAME " and it "
                    "will terminate immediately.\n"
                    "We are sorry for the inconvenience..."));
#endif
}

I am now able to run it and debug it also.

Thanks everybody for help.
