Title: [solved]Trying to compile codeblocks
Post by: visir on July 22, 2017, 10:16:34 pm

Tried to compile codeblocks, looks like I should compile wxWidgets too.

When I tried to compile it, I got those errors during linking:

.objs\sdk\newfromtemplatedlg.o:newfromtemplatedlg.cpp:(.text+0x1785): undefined reference to `_imp___ZN10wxListCtrl9SortItemsEPU7stdcallFilllEl'

.objs\sdk\pluginsconfigurationdlg.o:pluginsconfigurationdlg.cpp:(.text+0xabe): undefined reference to `_imp___ZN10wxListCtrl9SortItemsEPU7stdcallFilllEl'

Googling `_imp___ZN10wxListCtrl9SortItemsEPU7stdcallFilllEl' showed this:

Yes, you should and make sure you use the same compiler.
There is a wiki page that describes the process of compiling c::b.

This one? http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/FAQ-Compiling_(general)

Downloaded wxMSW 2.8.12 installer from https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/, no makefile.gcc inside.

I mean, docs here http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/source and here http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/FAQ-Compiling_(general) should be updated (since they mention makefile.gcc), precompiled wxMSW from here http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/source should be updated with recompiled one (if problem really is in that), and probably it's time to move to wxWidget 3.0.3 or 3.1.0 anyway.

When I create a project it gives me an error. I have tried fixing the error using some methods here, I even reinstalled codeblocks a few times.

The error says "COULDN'T CREATE THE PROJECT DIRECTORY

@Murawavhu
Please create your own thread, and please post a screenshot.

By the way, it compiled for me. Have no idea how to debug it yet, I'll surf wiki for now.

Do NOT high jack other people threads!

Do NOT use spaces or non ASCII letter in path.

Do use path you have write permissions on it.

Compiled version (r11114) doesn't show some images (like icon near "Workspace" word). When I'm running r11114 from r11112, it also shows a lot of "Couldn't add an image to the image list".

Googling this error showed this https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/WxImageList , don't know what to do with this though.

Tried to copy everything from src/output to src/devel, nothing changed.

Maybe it's because I added -D_WIN32_IE=0x0603 option (while compiling wxWidgets) only after I received error, and didn't clean-rebuild afterwards. Should I rebuild again?

Did you run the build scripts/batch files?

update or update.bat for windows if wx2.8.12.

Edit: Added quote from the directions!

Generate Production Output

Run update.bat (located in the src directory). This will pack the resource files and copy the executables, libraries, and plugins to the output directory. It will also create the output directory if it does not exist.

Adding the -D_WIN32_IE=0x0603 option should NOT normally require a rebuild of wxWidgets.
And, your problem is over 90% likely because you failed to run the update batch file or ran the wrong update batch file.
If you still have the problem post the wxWidgets version you built; version?

Yeah, after running update.bat everything works fine.

Thought this bat only needed for release version, turns out it also packs images into zip files and copies things around.

Thanks, sorry for troubling.
