Title: Plugin Installation : Oh the agony!
Post by: razzledazzle on July 02, 2012, 05:21:01 am
Lol yeah...
Code::Blocks is pretty awesome, wanted to make it even better so I thought of getting some nice plugins.
Well, I found out that it wasn't so convenient. I am new to SVN and all, however, I got TortoiseSVN which for some reason wouldn't let me browse, it would crash as I would enter the link (probably that the link is from WebSVN). I manually acquired the files, as for the start I chose the EditorTweaks plugin. Sadly it wouldn't complile as one of the header file is missing (configurationpanel.h), maybe more I didn't check.
So may I be helped on this matter? From SVN to compilation.
A nice plugin downloader could've been better, I guess this is how the community prefers? :P

By the way, the link for SVN is hard to find. It was within one of the plugin documentation.

There are a lot of pages helping you to develop C::B plugins.
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

So, what have you done?

Mainly you should download the whole C::B trunk code, and build the SDK and core plugins. Then other plugins.

Thank you for your reply. I'll check that now.
By the way, does Code::Blocks come with wxWidgets library? I think that might be the problem.. :-\
Silly me, sorry for your time. It seems the instructions are there (some SVN instructions as well), I didn't bother to check because I thought it would only be regarding Code::Blocks installation. Oh the shame!
 ;D

I'll try them out and post here the outcome.  8)

Edit: I got all the plugins, again I tried building EditorTweaks, it still didn't work, some of the header files and definitions were missing. Need help.
Here is the shot of my Global Variables Configuration:
(http://i49.tinypic.com/1znty5t.png)


Reinstalled codeblocks to a different directory (C:\Codeblocks).
I moved wxWidgets library there as well and set directories as explained in the "build plugin" documentation.
configurationpanel.h is nowhere to be found, but I can see a configurationpanel.cpp file. I don't know whether I should modify it or not.
Really need some help. :(
