Help / Re: How do I install Code:Blocks,Wxwidgets and wxSmith on Linux Mint?

« Last post by audiobabble on Yesterday at 02:45:21 pm »

[ OP -  I think I'm right in saying that to all intents and purposes, Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu, so install instructions for Ubuntu are what you should follow]

I'm also new here and new to Codeblocks. Had no trouble installing on Windows 10.

I installed on Ubuntu 20.04 using apt, that seemed to work but had trouble compiling due to missing libs (unsurprisingly).

I've since installed Mint and this time decided to look at the official install instructions... and it's at this point that things get a little confusing.

I ended up here first: https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Installing_Code::Blocks_nightly_build_on_Ubuntu

Didn't really want to install nightly build but thought I'd give it a go...

There seems to be a problem with 'libwxgtk3.0-4' and 'libwxgtk3.0-dev' -- neither repository can be found.

So... gave up on that. Have now dowloaded the tar for codeblocks 20.03 from here: https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries/#imagesoslinux48pnglogo-linux-32-and-64-bit

The page states once the tar is downloaded all the deb packages will be found therein.

I have two questions though:

1. Am I supposed to install all the deb packages?
2. What about the sub-archive tar within: 'codeblocks_20.03.tar.xz', do I extract that as well, or just leave it alone?

[Linux Mint 21.3, upstream release: Ubuntu 22.04]

Nightly builds / Download last NB is good ... The 25 May 2024 build (13524) is out.

« Last post by ThierryD on Yesterday at 02:34:00 pm »

Hi,

I suppress MalwareBytes on my two config Windows, I downloaded last NB (25 May 2024 ) with Edge (not Firefox) ... and BitDefender don't alert me ...
I can install last nightly of CB on my two computers (Windows + Linux Mint 22.03 in double boot, thank's Xaviou).
This confirm "False positive" detect with last NB (after suppress also Winzip Utility System that MalwareBytes detect with PUP, and suppress after verify with this tool).
Sorry about my alert ...
Good job : GCC 14.1.0 + WX 3.2.5 (up to date versions), I don't detect "Debug Alert" with this last version... (normal user running).

Using Code::Blocks / Re: What is the process for developing a C++ and wxWidgets lexer?

« Last post by Miguel Gimenez on Yesterday at 12:37:48 pm »

"Keyword" corresponds to set 1, "Primary keywords and identifiers"
"User keyword" is set 2, "Secondary keywords and identifiers"

Using Code::Blocks / What is the process for developing a C++ and wxWidgets lexer?

« Last post by balinggorgeg on Yesterday at 11:27:56 am »

Hi,

I've been attempting to install a C++-based lexer that highlights all wxWidgets classes (one color) and class-functions (a second color). I can only utilize "global classes and typedefs" (index=3) with the existing cpp lexer, where I have all wxWidgets class names. A second colour would also require the usage of "keyword" or "user keywords". However, these indices appear to be deactivated. How can I enable them? Other ideas are also welcome.

Thank you

Help / Re: Getting Codeblocks 20.03 to work on Windows 2003 R2 64 bit

« Last post by nenin on Yesterday at 07:54:30 am »

But it doesn't support systems older than Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 2008 R2 SP1. So, if you want to run CodeBlocks under Windows 2003, you need to compile CodeBlocks' source yourself, with msvcrt.

It is not exactly correct. There are old ucrt distributions, which working on XP. However, it does not resolve all problems, because  there may be  missing kernel functions. By any way, C::B 20.03 can be used on XP with some replacement of the dlls (and minor glitches). 20.03 was built with gcc 8.1 msvcrt.

Hi.
That means your system lack the UCRT Runtime Environment. But it doesn't support systems older than Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 2008 R2 SP1. So, if you want to run CodeBlocks under Windows 2003, you need to compile CodeBlocks' source yourself, with msvcrt.

Help / Getting Codeblocks 20.03 to work on Windows 2003 R2 64 bit

« Last post by JimC on Yesterday at 04:31:17 am »

I've found the workarounds for Windows Server 2003 x86, but I can't see how to get Code::Blocks to work on Windows Server 2003r2 x64.

With a vanilla install it can't find api-ms-win-crt-string-l1-1-0.dll; when I install the Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 (version 14.0.23026), I get:

    The procedure entry point _o__configure_narrow_argv could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-crt-string-l1-1-0.dll

What am I doing wrong?

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Re: what happens when we press build (more extensive and readable/clear build log)

« Last post by kakas on May 27, 2024, 08:37:13 pm »

solved. I couldn't find a way to make the build log more "readable". But this blog/page on linkers was really helpful https://www.lurklurk.org/linkers/linkers.html (not related to code blocks).

I also found it super cool that .cbp file could be used as a build script(a very readable one) and how it can be used to built a project. really cool stuff.
(Idk I think I need to quite playing around and learn established build system someday).

Anyway, it was a fun side journey. thanks for the replies.

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Re: Problem with SFML 2.0 libraries

« Last post by nenin on May 27, 2024, 04:18:04 pm »

Hi, im trying to learn SFML2.0 with this tutorial:
4 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 1 second(s))

You probably have to try this "GCC 13.1.0 MinGW (SEH) - 64-bit" from here  https://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.6.1/  or check msys for  SFML2.
Versions you tried are totally outdated.
