Nightly builds / Re: The 20 July 2026 build (13916) is out.

The blue line over the tabs is a wx3.3 "feature".

See if the Build log tab contains any error.

Help / Re: Question about wxSmith
« Last post by Miguel Gimenez on Today at 12:38:55 pm »
The hanging is due to an updated library on Linux and it is fixed in trunk.

Until Lubuntu updates their package you can use the AppImage posted here.

Hi everyone,

I'm taking a Programming in C class at FIU, and my professor requires us to use Code::Blocks to compile and run our programs.

I'm using a Surface Laptop 7 (ARM64) running Windows 11. The program installs and opens without any issues, but when I try to build or run my code, the Run button never turns green, so I can't execute the program.

Has anyone experienced this on an ARM64 device or know how to fix it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Help / Question about wxSmith
« Last post by ppa_csharp on Today at 04:54:31 am »
How come on my Lubuntu 26.04 machine does codeblocks say that wxSmith plugin is not loaded. This error appears with a default build or the packages apt gives me. But then when i go to compile it with flags telling it to include wxSmith, my binary gets hung on the loading process?

Oh, in addition, now the lower section (logs & others) has a fixed min height and can't be made smaller... This too is a choice I really don't like :(

Hi, I just updated from SVN 13620 (skipping a lot of intermediate NBs since they had bugs which are apparently fixed in 13916) -- so I can't say for sure at which stage the change I am talking about was introduced...
Well, all tabs in main window now look ugly ! They are using a different font and have a blue line on top... the previous ones looked much better.
I wonder if this unrequired change was intentional and why, and whether there is any option in the Preference to revert to the previous look. Thanks

Development / Re: Building Code::Blocks 25.03, can't find exchndl.dll
« Last post by MadDavid on Yesterday at 08:36:51 pm »
Also, I just checked with one of my own projects, and GNU GCC Compiler is indeed creating the .a that goes along with a .dll.  So it's not disabled somewhere in my compiler options.

A look at this shows that it's adding the Link Directory \exchndl\win64\lib.  That directory is empty.  exchndl.dll exists in \exchndl\win64\bin.


I tried manually copying everything from exchndl\win64\bin to exchndl\win64\lib, and ran the build again, and got.

So it's still not finding it in the directory that it's explicitely searching.
I notice that exchndl.dll is the only one of these libraries that it's including the .dll extension on when sending it to the linker.

What do I do from here?
