Using Code::Blocks / Re: how to let github action to run codeblocks.exe to build cbp project

« Last post by ollydbg on September 26, 2026, 09:48:17 am »

Probably the "Select default compiler" dialog...

Yes, is it possible to supply a dummy/default default.conf file for the codeblocks.exe to run? So that it use the default msys2's gcc compiler path.

From this project:

Jarod42/premake-sample-projects: Premake sample projects to easily test generators

I see a sample(default) configure file is supplied for codeblocks.

Using Code::Blocks / Re: Does CB Nightly debugger plugin work with parameters?

« Last post by ollydbg on September 26, 2026, 09:45:35 am »

Hi, I just did a test. From the debugger plugin's log message, I can see a line like below:

Code

[debug]>>>>>>cb_gdb:
[debug]> directory F:/code/image-label-gui/
[debug]Source directories searched: F:/code/image-label-gui;$cdir;$cwd
[debug]>>>>>>cb_gdb:
[debug]> set args abc
[debug]>>>>>>cb_gdb:
[debug]> run
[debug]Starting program: F:\code\image-label-gui\bin\Debug\ImageLabelGui.exe abc
...

So, the argument "abc" is passed to the debugee as I can see.

Plugins development / Possible wxWidgets 3.2 patch fix for codecompletion

« Last post by stahta01 on September 26, 2026, 01:34:57 am »

Problem noticed using today's SVN under MSys2 MINGW64 wxWidgets version 3.2.11-1

Skipped building contrib debugger plugin because it also had an wxWidgets 3.2 build error.

Using Code::Blocks / Does CB Nightly debugger plugin work with parameters?

Does CB Nightly debugger plugin work with parameters?

I have not used CB debugger plugin with parameters in a long time does it work still?

"Project -> Set programs' arguments..." does not work for me.

Help / Re: wxSmith has a blackout!

« Last post by Danois on September 25, 2026, 07:37:27 pm »

Change to fail configure with a clear error when pkg-config is unavailable is added to svn r14039

Sounds great! Just mind that the macro may be provided from other packages, like "pkgconf" on Arch based systems. As far as I recall, the package must be available during bootstrap so user must re-run bootstrap or "autoreconf -if" if the package is installed after the initial bootstrap.

EDIT: I just looked at "configure" and it seems like the test is already present:

Code

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes

EDIT2: The package "pkg-config" is a placeholder which pulls in package "pkgconf" instead, both packages provide "/usr/bin/pkg-config", so no need to check for multiple packages.

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / missing highlight c++ keywords and distro updates

« Last post by Husky Ducky on September 25, 2026, 03:58:22 pm »

Hi,

I find out that the C::B doesn't have some c++ keywords highlighted like "print" and others. I've been adding in my list (settings->Editor->Syntax Highlighting->'button' Keywords).

How can I help you guys to send this adding to include to the next new version?

By the way, I'm using the KDE Fedora distro and the last update I had got from C::B is the version 25.03-7. I saw in the forums that there is a frequent release of nightly version. Isn't a good idea to publish a new version more frequently to the general public?

I see it just hangs. Maybe some message box jumps out, and it is waiting for user input or click.

Using Code::Blocks / how to let github action to run codeblocks.exe to build cbp project

« Last post by ollydbg on September 25, 2026, 03:32:41 am »

Any one has such experience before? I mean I have a cbp project, and I'd like to run something like:

Code

codeblocks.exe --no-associative --no-dde --target="Release" --build test.cbp

Thanks.

I found one discussion 6 years ago, but this is on a linux build, see this: github action [Resolved]
