Help / Re: Debugging problem in a console application with ncurses library

« Last post by Krice on Today 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.

Disable the CodeCompletion plugin and install the new Clangd_client plugin, see this.

Did you install C::B using Flatpak? It is known to block some non-standard folders.

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Problem with Code::Block IDE

« Last post by membercatch on July 02, 2025, 05:20:06 am »

I need some assistance with Zorin 16 Core and Code::Blocks IDE in a VMware virtual machine.

I've started working on a program, and it requires a header file called X11/Xmu/WinUtil.h. It is found in the /usr/include/X11/Xmu/ folder after installing the libxmu-dev package, but Code::Blocks appears to be unable to recognize the /usr/include/X11 folder when I attempt to add it to the project's list of includes.
However, it does recognize some of the other folders in the /usr/include directory, but not this one.

So I'm curious what the difference is and the steps required to get Code::Blocks for seeing the X11 folder. What do I need and do to make this work? What is missing?

I do not use the old or new CC code completion.

Link to FAQ; to help you it is normally required to post the Code::Blocks version and Operating System (OS) info.
Edit: MinGW does say Windows; the version likely does not matter; but, whether 64 bit OS does sometime matter when using debugger.

Safe Mode in Code::Blocks disables some plugins to help troubleshoot issues. When this mode is enabled, plugins needed for debugging, such as GDB, may be disabled, making debugging on the Mac impossible and making it difficult to diagnose errors.

Not quite what I wanted, but definitely an improvement. Thanks!

When debugging, I find the arrow showing the current line really hard to spot. I've had a poke around the editor settings but can't see anything relevant... is there a way to change the arrow's colour or size?

You can highlight the current debugger line with Setting/Editor/Other Editor Settings(tab)/Highlight line under caret.
