Development / Re: Change to C++17?

« Last post by gd_on on September 24, 2026, 09:23:51 am »

I usually build CB with gnu++20 (even tests with gnu++26). No problems, except a few warnings concerning obsolete things which are not there with c++17. I have seen that the generated code is a little bit bigger.

Development / Re: Change to C++17?

« Last post by killerbot on September 23, 2026, 07:09:18 pm »

are there any objections to switch to c++20 or even c++23 ?

I think the winlibs gcc ports for windows also nicely support it, because I build CB (and wx) with it, and that goes fine.

I would be very interested to see such a feature and use it when distributing my software.

Please see the steps I use to build on my ubuntu 24.04, hope this is helpful for you

Code

#wxWidgets install
sudo apt install libwxgtk3.2-dev

#Alternatively wxWidgets build from source
git clone https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets.git
cd wxWidgets
git checkout v3.3.3
git submodule update --init
mkdir build-v3.3.3/
cd build-v3.3.3/
CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-15.2.0 CPP=/usr/local/bin/cpp-15.2.0 CXX=/usr/local/bin/g++-15.2.0 ../configure --enable-xrc --enable-monolithic --enable-debug --enable-stc --enable-webview
make -j$(( $(nproc) - 1 ))
sudo make install

#install deps
sudo apt install libtool cmake

#Build C::B
cd ~/codeblocks-code
ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal" ./bootstrap #ACLOCAL_FLAGS required only when installed wxwidgets from source
./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all --prefix=/opt/codeblocks/
make -j$(( $(nproc) - 1 )) install -k

Hi Danois, could you please check if AppImage detailed in https://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,26313.msg178904.html#msg178904 works?

I have tested the AppImage, and the issues I have mentioned in this topic are not present with the AppImage version. I have also been looking at the "real" build guide and I'm goint to try to build C::B from sources and see how it goes. If the build succeeds, I'm using that and if not I'll use the AppImage.

Thanks so far! :-)
