hi everyone. I have tried to compile CodeBlocks_wx29.cbp and the first thing that says to me is
||=== Code::Blocks wx2.9.x, exchndl ===|
ld.exe||cannot find -lintl|
I have opened both CodeBlocks.cbp and CodeBlocks_wx29.cbp with notepad++ (using Compare option), and regards to linkage, seem to me that are identical.
<Linker>
<Add library="bfd" />
<Add library="iberty" />
<Add library="intl" />
<Add directory="base\exchndl\lib" />
</Linker>
CodeBlocks.cbp compiles just fine with no complains at all (apart from warnings).
Can anyone who has successfully compiled it to provide some feedback?
My specs are:
wxWidgets 2.9.3
TDM's GCC 4.6.1
Windows XP SP3 (fully updated)
Cheers
In C:\MinGW\__installer\downloaded\
Is this the file I supposed to have, or should I find a newer version to install it?

It works for me; but, you still need to edit the project to directly link to it.
It is easier to edit the virtual "all" target.
I compile the "exchdl" target because I am using an DW2 version of MinGW GCC.
The exchdl.dll gives crash information when Code::Blocks crashes; I am hoping compiling a DW2 exchdl.dll will give better CB crash info.
But, so far my self compiled CB has refused to crash to confirm it works for me.
Patch I just used to compile wx29 version of exchdl.dll;
Note this is NOT a patch to be applied to trunk. Because it is no more correct than the original.
Note: I copied two DLLs (to the CB devel[29] folder) because I assumed it would need them when CB crashed.
The intl-8 and iconv DLLs.
Tested ONLY with the wx28 version of Code::Blocks.

Update: Obviously it won't compile properly at some point, because certain plugin projects point to wxWidgets 2.8.x whereas they should have pointed to wxWidgets 2.9.x, so basically it means to generate a new .cbp for each contrib/<Project name> and add it to a new workspace...
I will experiment and see how it goes.
Update Part 2: Forget about it! the entire project heavily uses parameters such as "wxmsw28$(WX_SUFFIX)" and "$(#WX.lib)\gcc_dll" to make a few...I think the best thing for Code::Blocks would be to separate CodeBlocks_wx29.cbp et al in a totally new branch and experiment in there, or even fork it in GitHub and play there. I will going to do it tonight at home.
