Help / Pls help if you can!

« Last post by Bansespoll on April 14, 2025, 06:44:50 am »

Hey I downloaded the 64 bit version of CodeBlocks on my new Mac book air m1 and when I try to run a program it says this: It seems that this project has not been built yet.

Do you want to build it now?

Another problem I have is that when I actually run a program through terminal terminal didn't show anything for example Hello world and I had to go to my folder then into debug and find an exec file which when I clicked my program run and terminal showed Hello world.

I am a total beginner in c++ and I am coming from Python, but in general I am a beginner to programming. Pls help if you can! I am trying to start programming but I can't and I really want to start!

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Any idea?

« Last post by Magnstowiter on April 14, 2025, 06:26:53 am »

I actually use code:blocks for school for a while and I don't like the icon of cb at all. It seems old and doesnt fit with other apps, is there any chance that someone owns a transparent copy of the forum icon: .
Thank you!

Using Code::Blocks / Re: C::B plugin to show current git branch?

« Last post by christo on April 13, 2025, 06:53:55 am »

Trouble is, I use C::B a lot under windows and for that I rely on the Windows nightly builds (that I do not build myself) available via this forum. The nightly builds work perfectly fine, but there does not seem to be an easy way to install a plugin like cbvcs in this situation. Or maybe I am mistaken?

Hi cacb, you are right,  installing without source code is not possible unless nightly installation contains header files as well. Also, I've never built the plugin for Windows as I don't have a Windows machine I use for development.

I just added the feature to cbvcs plugin as it is useful for me.

Just changes is plugin is not enough, CB core code also need some changes. For any other plugins to show the branch also similar change is required. Attaching the change.

Thanks, Christo

Context : writing the programming of a plugin for 'CB'.

In the menu :

'Project->Build Options ...->Custom variables'

:
What are the class methods for reading all the variables for the project and for the different targets ?

It is very nice to add that feature to the cbvcs, thank you for considering it.

I could not find cbvcs among the standard plugins, but I found it at https://github.com/josephch/cbvcs

Trouble is, I use C::B a lot under windows and for that I rely on the Windows nightly builds (that I do not build myself) available via this forum. The nightly builds work perfectly fine, but there does not seem to be an easy way to install a plugin like cbvcs in this situation. Or maybe I am mistaken?

On Linux I do build C::B from source, so that is slightly different I suppose, but the main need is currently on Windows using C::B nightly builds.

Ideas welcome.

----
Edit: By the way, I currently "integrate" git with Code::Blocks in a super simplified way: I simply add a "Git Gui Here" option in the C::B Tools menu with ${PROJECT_DIR} as working directory. That way I have access to most most git features that I care about and it works the same on Windows and Linux. For special git features I can use another "Terminal here" option in the C::B Tools menu.

if I could use the Tools plugin (or Tools+ if you insist) to assign a string to some C::B variable to be mirrored in the taskbar it would work without the need for a whole new plugin.

Thanks for the info., I will look into it.

It would be nice if it could be directed to a field in the status bar.
