How to install WxSmith plugin in C::B

[sachink]

Hi,

   I want to develop GUI using  wxsmith plugin but its not installed with my code::blocks installation. Where will I find the "wxsmith" plugin (link) and the installation instructions?

Thanks in advance,
Sachin

A little more information might help to solve the problem.

Which OS and which version of C::B do you use ?

[sachink]

I am using Ubuntu 8.04
C::B version: 8.02

Thanks,
Sachin

You have to install the codeblocks-contrib and libwxsmith package.

Thanks Jen, but can you please elaborate more. I am a newbie with code::blocks.
Could you tell me:
1) Where will i get the wxsmith plugin (download link)
2) How to install it in my current code::blocks IDE


Thanks,
Sachin

How did you install C::B ?
From a deb-file with "dpkg -i ..." ?

[sachink]

I installed it from the source code. Using standard procedure:
./configure, make, make install

To get only wxsmith, use

Code

./configure --with-contrib-plugins=wxsmith

If you want to install all contrib-plugins (recommended), use

Code

./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all

The make and make install of course.

I usually install codeblocks from jens repository in my Ubuntu 8.04.1, but sometimes I had to install it from source and I need one more command after the the three suggested by jens.

Code

./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all
make
make install
ldconfig

Without "ldconfig" contrib plugins were compiled and copied to their destination folders with "make install" but I couldn't get it inside codeblocks. Try it if the three don't work ok.

Thanks Jen.
My problem is solved I un-installed my code::blocks and then installed it using apt-get. The new installation has wxsmith

[jimsteinberg]

installed CodeBlocks on Windows 7 by downloading and executing: codeblocks-13,12-mingw-setup.exe .
first thing I tried was to created a new wxWidgets project.  worked my way though naming it etc. and finally was asked where the wxsmith files were - can't find them.  what am i missing?

Please do not hijack a 6 years old thread !!
I guess you mix up wxSmith and wxWidgets.
