Title: DoxyBlocks plugin version doesn't match!
Post by: ThundThund on September 28, 2011, 11:21:43 pm

Hi all! First of all I would like to be greatful to you for your work on CodeBlocks, it's a great IDE.

My problem is related to DoxyBlocks plugin. I downloaded the CB source code, wxWidgets libraries, and so. I made some changes to the plugin (to allow XML .Net-styled comments) and all compiles fine and runs well (I can debug normally). But, when I try to use the DLL of the plugin in a installed CodeBlocks 10.05 (using the binaries for Windows), the IDE shows a message at the bottom right corner saying this:

"One or more plugins were not loaded.
This usually happens when a plugin is built for a different version of the Code::Blocks SDK.
Check the application log for more info.

List of failed plugins:

DoxyBlocks.dll"

I have been working with the source code of the last version (last tag in the repository I mean, corresponding to the last CB binary installation available). So the version is the same for the SDK. Why can this happen? Is there any workaround? Can I hack the version of the DLL?

Thanks in advance, this is really frustrating :(

Do yuo want to use a plugin build for svn trunk HEAD revision with codeblocks 10.05?
If yes, this won't happen. The API and ABI is different for the two versions.

You have two choices:
1. Use a nightly build. There DoxyBlocks is included by default. See the Nightly build subforum
2. Try to build DoxyBlocks for 10.05, if I remember correctly this was not possible, because DoxyBlocks required the new APIs.
    Here is some info for linking a plugin to a nightly build: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Linking_the_plugin_to_a_Nightly_Build (should be similar for 10.05)

Thanks oBFusCATed for your answer. I'm not using the source code from the HEAD version, but from the one that corresponds to the 10.05 version. If I build CodeBlocks and the plugin, then it can be used in the previously compiled CB, but if I try to use the same DLL in a CB I have installed in another machine, for example, that message appears and it doesn't work :(

I will try later using the link you posted, wish me luck!

Thanks.

Thanks! It works now!

• I've installed CB 10.05 from the downloadable binaries.
• I've compiled wxWidgets 2.8.10, which is the used by CB 10.05.
• I've downloaded the source code corresponding to CB 10.05 (the compressed tar.gz file).
• I've set the Global variable "wx" to the wxWidgets 2.8.10 folder.
• I've compiled CB source code.
• I've copied DoxyBlocks folder downloaded from SVN (last version available) to plugins/contrib folder, inside my CB source code folder.
• I've modified the DoxyBlocks project, replacing Search Directories of the linker by the folder of my CB installation.
• I've modified the Linker settings and the only libraries I've put there are: codeblocks, wxscintilla, wxmsw28u_gcc_cb. With no lib prefix nor .dll sufix.
• Then I've packed all to create the cbplugin file and now I can install it with no version problems in my installed CB!.

Thanks again!
