Title: msys2's wx library is graphics context enabled, so C::B may build against it
Post by: ollydbg on December 18, 2021, 04:24:27 pm

I just notice that the wx library supplied by msys2 (mingw-w64) already have graphics context enabled,

See this file: MINGW-packages/PKGBUILD at master msys2/MINGW-packages (https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-wxWidgets3.1/PKGBUILD)

It looks like some comments are:

Code

# Configure options added to support other software:
  #   --enable-graphics_ctx     codelite

So, maybe in the future, we can build C::B against this wx library.

Any ideas?

maybe in the future, we can have C::B build against a buildbot (such as github action), because I see github action support msys2. :)

Have you tried to activate git hub actions?

Can we build codeblocks with msys from command line?
does the normal configure steps work?

this would be quite nice also for plugin deployment/ auto updated

No, I haven't use github action yet.

I just saw some project in github which use github action to build a linux kernel, and I see the msys2 use github action.

So, this is just my idea, I haven't take action, I have never use a builtbot till now.
