Help / wxSmith has a blackout!
« Last post by Danois on Yesterday at 08:15:45 pm »
I am using C::B 25.03 from Kubuntu 26.04 (Wayland) repos. The first issue I had was the startup hanging which I temporarily fixed by renaming the wxSmith related zip's in "/usr/share/codeblocks". Since I have built Gdk-Pixbuf to version 2.42.12 and stored the libraries in "~/.local/lib" and used LD_LIBRARY_PATH to enable C::B to find those libraries. Now C::B starts as expected and there are no problems / errors when loading a wxSmith resources in the IDE, so I assume that wxSmith is (technically) working as it should. The issue is that whenever I load a resource, the wxFrame is displayed correctly for a brief moment whereafter the entire wxSmith area in the IDE goes black and stays like that.

Does anyone know a fix for this issue?

I have been looking at this build guide for building the entire C::B IDE from sources, but that looks.. Eherm.. Less palatable...... ;-)

CodeBlocks configure make build under Msys2 using svn repo


Based partly on https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Arch_Linux

Under Msys2 MinGW, I would try building using the configure/make method.
Link to patch to help build using that method https://github.com/stahta01/MINGW-packages/blob/codeblocks-git/mingw-w64-codeblocks/003-fix-link-to-tinyxml.patch

Configure options that are likely needed
Code
 --disable-pch --with-contrib-plugins=all,-Valgrind

Using Code::Blocks / Re: Perfomance question: CodeBlocks "normal" RAM usage and file closing delay
« Last post by SmithJoe on Yesterday at 01:54:11 pm »
That sounds like a genuine resource issue, especially with only 8 GB of RAM. The 4 GB usage and long freezes would make me check plugins/code completion first, and possibly compare with 20.03 again to see if the problem is specific to 25.03.

I also suggest building the C::B with the latest SVN code.

Would tickets be moved also?

If the git means github, then I found that there are some project which can import sourceforge ticket to github, something like: Ajnasz/sf2gh: Move sourceforge tickets to github or cmungall/gosf2github: migrates tickets to GH from SF.

I don't want to use SVN, because SVN can't let me create a serial of patches.  :(

Are you trying to build the last release or a recent SVN version of CB?

If last release, build the package linked here https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-codeblocks/PKGBUILD

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Is there a resume writing service for IT professionals in Canada?
« Last post by albanemartin on September 18, 2026, 02:36:18 pm »
I had eight years of software development experience and was getting filtered out of Canadian tech roles before any human saw my application because my resume was missing the specific technical keywords and project delivery language that IT resume writing services in Canada know are essential.
Top resume Canada  specializes in tech resume services for Canadian IT professionals and their writers understand the difference between how developers describe their work internally and how Canadian tech hiring managers and ATS systems actually screen for the skills they need.
Their IT professional resume service rebuilt my entire document around technology stack keywords, agile delivery language and measurable system impact which produced four interview requests from Canadian tech companies within two weeks.
Drop below your tech stack and how long you have been job searching in Canada because IT resume writing is one of the most technical and most misunderstood niches in the entire Canadian resume services market.

Help / Building CB : cannot find -lexchndl.dll: No such file or directory

I have been using wxWidgets + CodeBlocks for quite a few years now. Very good IDE. Every year or so I check for updates and reinstall everything including the compiler. Before I used the TDM-GCC compiler but this time I switched to the MSYS2. I downloaded a functional version of CodeBlocks and then tried to build a new version of CodeBlocks using CodeBlocks_wx32_64.cbp. It does not find exchndl.dll.

exchndl.dll exists in "C:\msys64\codeblocks_25.03\src\exchndl\win64\bin"
I tried moving it to "C:\msys64\codeblocks_25.03\src\exchndl\win64\lib" but that did not work.
I tried renaming it to exchndl.dll.a. That did not work.

For the linker, line 150 of CodeBlocks_wx32_64.cbp has "<Add library="exchndl.dll" />" and line 166 has         
"<Add directory="exchndl/win64/lib" />".

I am wondering if the new compiler/linker does not accept a dll as a linkable library.

Can anyone help with this?
