Title: build CodeBlock.cbp meet "strdup" error
Post by: hou on June 25, 2008, 11:44:50 am

When I install the CB from source following the manula's instruction;
In 4.1.7, When I build Codeblocks.cbp, I meet the error:

"strdup" is not declared in this scope in buffer.h.

I searched a lot of pages but I didn't find the solution. What is wrong? Thank you for your reply.

A little more information might help.

Which manual ?
Which OS ?
Which version of wxWidgets ?

I follow the manual downloaded from the CB website.

OS is windows.

I newly download the latest version of CB(5093), wxWidget version is 2.8.8.
When I build the CodeBlock.cbp the previous error "strdup" dispeared, but the following error appeared. How to deal with that?

I set ToolChain Executable, c compiler to mingw32-gcc.exe. Then it compile finely.

Exactly how can I do this?
Do I have to edit the makefile to point to mingw32-gcc.exe ?
What else do I do?
I googled for a bit couldn't find something of use. Please help because it seems that quite a few people have this problem (I got this from looking around),...
This could also go in the CodeBlocks wiki.

Try

   Settings->Compiler and debugger...

Then choose the Toolchain executable tab.
