Using Code::Blocks / Any way to get C++23 support on Pop!_OS?
« Last post by Jarrod on Today at 10:31:09 am »I've been trying unsuccessfully to get C++23 support in Code Blocks. I'm on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS. The Code Blocks release from the Pop Shop is 20.03. I have gcc-12 on my system and CB is pointing at those Toolchain executables. The most recent standard option is C++17 though and adding "-std=c++23" to the compiler options field doesn't actually change the standard used. My next thought was to update Code Blocks manually to the new 25.03 release but the website only has a version for Debian. Will that work on Pop!_OS? Or is there some other secret voodoo I haven't found yet to get C++23 support?

Using Code::Blocks / Re: 25.03 Start Page : Linux vs Windows
« Last post by ollydbg on Today at 02:05:53 am »Thanks for the report, I think this is a bug.
There is a file named:
src/src/resources/start_here/start_here.html
I think C::B just uses some html viewer window to show this html file.
I'm not fully understand the logic, but my guess is that the contents of the html get modified dynamically, so the recent opened entries get added.
Maybe the Windows and Linux use different html viewer code?

Using Code::Blocks / 25.03 Start Page : Linux vs Windows
« Last post by Geoff13 on Yesterday at 10:19:58 pm »The start page for 25.03 on my Windows 10 computer has a nice wide area for the recent projects (see screenshot).
However 25.03 on my Linux Mint computer has a very narrow area, with each project using multiple lines. Is there file that controls this width that could be edited on this computer? Or is hard coded into the executable?
Thanks for any help.

Help / Re: Using 'ThreadSearch'
« Last post by cacb on Yesterday at 09:47:23 pm »I have not used ThreadSearch much, but the GUI doesn't seem to have an option to remove old searches.
The info is stored in the 'default.conf' file which is really an XML file.
'default.conf' is found in
Windows: %APPDATA%\CodeBlocks
Linux: ~/.config/codeblocks
The tag SEARCHPATTERNS under ThreadSearch contains the old search patterns. So it is possible to remove it manually using a text editor if you understand how to not mess up XML syntax.
- Exit C::B before doing anything
- Backup 'default.conf'' in case you mess it up
- Make the changes
- Restart C::B

Help / Re: Debugging problem in a console application with ncurses library
« Last post by Krice on Yesterday at 11:45:26 am »It appears that by default C::B runs a console application in a xterm terminal. If xterm is not installed the program is not displayed.
Not true. It runs whatever is set in the options for terminal, in Fedora it runs default gnome terminal. I have xterm installed and I'm using it because gnome terminal doesn't have correct 16 EGA colors for the project I'm programming (and I can also set it to 80x24 size which is typical for roguelikes). I think gnome terminal has less than 16 colors in fact, because some text doesn't show when running ncurses project which is using 16 colors. So, if someone has a solution for this I'm waiting, but it's not critical, because you can run your program with gdb from command line and get stack trace in case of crash etc.
