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

« Last post by christo on June 14, 2026, 12:39:13 pm »

@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.

Thanks Miguel Gimenez, I'll do that

Renamed in svn revision 13859

I would rename the former as cbSwitcherDialog (or just SwitcherDialog) and the latter as btSwitcherDialog.

There are some classes in C::B named wxSomething, this creates confussion with wxWidgets' own classes.

Development / Multiple declarations/definitions of wxSwitcherDialog

« Last post by christo on June 10, 2026, 07:09:22 pm »

wxSwitcherDialog is declared/defined  in  src/src/switcherdlg.h / switcherdlg.cpp and
src/plugins/contrib/BrowseTracker/btswitcherdlg.h   /  btswitcherdlg.cpp

The two implementations are different.

@Developers, Shall I rename that in BrowseTracker to use a different class name?

I'm trying to do more static linking in autotools to create a more portable linux appImage eventually and the above problem causes crashes.

Code

(gdb) bt

I forgot to mention that the example works on windows, linux mint and macos.

Development / multiple frames

« Last post by cppuser on June 09, 2026, 11:00:13 pm »

Hello all,
I have a proposal for codeblock devs. I have made a small example,  how to make an application test, in wxwidgets using wxaui, similar to codeblocks to have multiple frames.

To test the code, download the zip file,
inside the folder you have to provide wx3.2.10.zip/tar.bz2  in the root folder.
I am using cmake to build the source code. You need CMake application.
 
I am fan in writing code in multiple screens. And  the state of the codeblocks using wxaui panel are not suitable for manipulating the float panels like a regular window.

The code is not working 100%, I notice a bug in my latest test, when moving a panel to the main window.
Sorry for this, I will upload the another fixed version when I have the time.

I wrote you, all this post,
If you want me try to make codeblock working similar like my example.
The last two months I am slowly reading the codeblock code so I can contribute at some point.
I am not ready yet and I will need a ton of assistant.
