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

« Last post by christo on Yesterday at 09:32:35 pm »

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!

Morten.

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.

I suppose the answer is late. Code::Blocks on Flatpak restricted the use of the features you're referring to. I don't know the reasons the previous maintainer added that restriction, but I've already fixed it. If you use the version provided by Flathub, the repository is open, and you can request any changes you need, such as adding dependencies.
