Help / wxSmith has a blackout!
« Last post by Danois on September 19, 2026, 08:15:45 pm »
I am using C::B 25.03 from Kubuntu 26.04 (Wayland) repos. The first issue I had was the startup hanging which I temporarily fixed by renaming the wxSmith related zip's in "/usr/share/codeblocks". Since I have built Gdk-Pixbuf to version 2.42.12 and stored the libraries in "~/.local/lib" and used LD_LIBRARY_PATH to enable C::B to find those libraries. Now C::B starts as expected and there are no problems / errors when loading a wxSmith resources in the IDE, so I assume that wxSmith is (technically) working as it should. The issue is that whenever I load a resource, the wxFrame is displayed correctly for a brief moment whereafter the entire wxSmith area in the IDE goes black and stays like that.

Does anyone know a fix for this issue?

I have been looking at this build guide for building the entire C::B IDE from sources, but that looks.. Eherm.. Less palatable...... ;-)

CodeBlocks configure make build under Msys2 using svn repo


Based partly on https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Arch_Linux

Under Msys2 MinGW, I would try building using the configure/make method.
Link to patch to help build using that method https://github.com/stahta01/MINGW-packages/blob/codeblocks-git/mingw-w64-codeblocks/003-fix-link-to-tinyxml.patch

Configure options that are likely needed
Code
 --disable-pch --with-contrib-plugins=all,-Valgrind

Using Code::Blocks / Re: Perfomance question: CodeBlocks "normal" RAM usage and file closing delay
« Last post by SmithJoe on September 19, 2026, 01:54:11 pm »
That sounds like a genuine resource issue, especially with only 8 GB of RAM. The 4 GB usage and long freezes would make me check plugins/code completion first, and possibly compare with 20.03 again to see if the problem is specific to 25.03.

I also suggest building the C::B with the latest SVN code.

Would tickets be moved also?

If the git means github, then I found that there are some project which can import sourceforge ticket to github, something like: Ajnasz/sf2gh: Move sourceforge tickets to github or cmungall/gosf2github: migrates tickets to GH from SF.

I don't want to use SVN, because SVN can't let me create a serial of patches.  :(

Are you trying to build the last release or a recent SVN version of CB?

If last release, build the package linked here https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-codeblocks/PKGBUILD

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?
