Nightly builds / Re: The 27 May 2026 build (13855) is out.

« Last post by 20k on Yesterday at 10:27:58 pm »

[Main Instruction]
A debugging check in this application has failed.

I've found that deleting the .conf file just one time solved this for me.

Pecan, trying to re-customize my default.conf I think I found the root cause of the issue and so a quick way to fix it. The root cause of the debugging checks is a specific setting

Settings->Environment Settings->Notebooks Appearance->Tab Style

If you set the tab style to Firefox2 or Microsoft Visual Studio 7.1 the debugging checks are raised

Uisng default or Simple Tabs no debugging checks are raised.

So to me is enough to change my old settings from Firefox 2 to default to get a working default.conf (my old one). I hope this helps to understand how to fix the issue.

This didn't work for me (I'm experiencing the same problem), as my tabs were set to default already

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Re: CodeBlocks on Linux

Hi Miguel Gimenez, I've seen the hang when tested on Fedora 43 with 25.03. I think it is a good idea to provide a new release as it might be affecting lot of new distros.

Created appImage using svn revision 13865 and is available at https://github.com/josephch/codeblocks/releases/download/svn13865/CodeBlocks-r13865-x86_64.AppImage

Please give execution permission before execution.

Code

chmod +x ./CodeBlocks-r13865-x86_64.AppImage 
./CodeBlocks-r13865-x86_64.AppImage

I have tested the AppImage on Ubuntu 26.04, but C::B 25.03 has problems with libglycin (hang on startup due to wxSmith) and Wayland (unable to dock panes). Can you create an AppImage using the current trunk?

Thank you.

indeed a very good idea. Let's see if we can also do it for the nightly builds.

@Miguel Gimenez looks like we have to sign in to github to access action artifacts

I've uploaded the file to https://github.com/josephch/codeblocks/releases/download/v25.03/CodeBlocks-v25.03-x86_64.AppImage  , it can be downloaded without signing in.

@Ender4rmy if you have issues still, you can try appImage of 25.03 release in the URL https://github.com/josephch/codeblocks/actions/runs/27490559193/artifacts/7618296770 , It contains all the contrib plugins. Please give execution permission before execution.

Code

chmod +x CodeBlocks-v25.03-x86_64.AppImage
./CodeBlocks-v25.03-x86_64.AppImage

Development / AppImage generation for Linux

« Last post by christo on June 13, 2026, 01:37:17 pm »

 AppImage is a popular format for software bundling. I'm able to generated C::B AppImage with minimal host dependency via github action.

https://github.com/josephch/codeblocks/actions/runs/27463347269#artifacts

Github workflow : https://github.com/josephch/codeblocks/blob/custom/.github/workflows/build_appimage.yml

I think it is a good idea to distribute our releases in AppImage format also, as it can be used on many distros.

There are additional configuration options required - to use bundled software if present and to use static wxwidgets. Those are added to svn.

Using Code::Blocks / Re: Line spacing in editor

« Last post by MortenMacFly on June 13, 2026, 08:12:15 am »

Is there a setting to increase the line spacing in the editor?

This is implemented in SVN revision 13860. Thanks for asking, but next time maybe you use our bug-tracker.
Starting with the next nightly you can give it a try!

Plugins development / Re: Debugger_gdbmi plugin

« Last post by Pecan on June 12, 2026, 05:41:38 pm »

Can anyone tell me why the debugger is setting local and argument watches to readonly?

Setting them to readonly disables more than half the context menu (properties) and disallows the display of the raw data and structure of the variables/arguments.

I'd like to be able to display the raw data if possible (in the GDB/MI plugin).
But I don't want to re-enable the ability if there is a good reason (I'm too dumb to think of) not to.
