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

« Last post by charles5577 on September 18, 2026, 10:22:39 am »

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?

I'm OK with C++17.

BTW: about the code repo, can we switch to git?

Hi, everyone.

It seems that debugging a 32bit program with 64bit GDB doesn't work on Windows 7, so I create two debugger settings: one for 32bit, the other for 64bit, and I want to set different debugger for each build target(e.g. 32bit target use 32bit GDB, 64bit target use 64bit GDB), but I can't find any settings for this, I know how to change active debugger manually, but how to do this auto when I switch build targets.

I use CodeBlocks DEBUGGER BRANCH rev7790. sportzfy

Sorry for my bad english. Thanks!

Kinda misleading. Would be more accurate to name it "Toolchain's default" rather than "Target's default", because the target is, y'know, Debug/Release.

My current development environment (MinGW8.1) only supports upto C++2a, I can change C::B to C++20 or C++23 but then I will be out of the game for a while...

I think c++17 should be fine for now

Interesting issue. It would be useful if Code::Blocks could automatically switch the debugger based on the selected build target.

A lot of voyagers are fond of a natural and uncomplicated alternative after a tedious morning or an intensive afternoon touring.
