Help / How to fix the translation error of zh_CN

« Last post by Cubestone.Wang on November 27, 2025, 10:05:20 am »

When I use 25.03 version in zh_CN, there is a "!" before the content, see the following image:

After using "msgunfmt zh_CN.mo -o zh_CN.po", I confirm it:

And then, I search something, but in source code, no zh_CN file, in Nightly builds, no zh_CN file, in translate website, the current content is translated just in 2006-07-17:




So where is the question, in building process?
I post the message in this forums, and wait someone could fix it. Or maybe post it in "https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/tickets/"?

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / OpenWatcom (W32) Compiler template problem

« Last post by Tim on November 25, 2025, 05:41:59 pm »

System = Windows XP SP3

Codeblocks 8.02 and 20.03 (Possibly others in between)

I've just noticed a problem with the "Open Watcom" compiler template/Plugin.

If a "copy" is made of the "OpenWatcom (W32) Compiler" template, Say for example,  "Copy of OpenWatcom (W32) Compiler" (Without any modifications)

Then an attempt to compiler & link a basic "Console" application with it, it will generate a very different warning & error output from the original template.

Using Code::Blocks / Re: Code::Blocks and Intel OneAPI?

« Last post by ThierryD on November 23, 2025, 05:34:43 pm »

Hi,

My first experience with OneAPI Intel Compiler was with version 2024.2 [and VS2022] because tle lastest version of this compiler is now based on LLVM architecture.
First consequence, this compiler need to lean with "full" environment devlopment like MinGW or Visual Studio.
Root binary directory of OneAPI is : C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\latest\bin ("latest" is a link on real directory "2024.2"), it's very useful to simplify configuration.
Note that exist also a directory " C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\latest\bin32" to store libraries and DLL of this compiler "compatible" with 32 bit architecture, but
binary directory of OneAPI compiler is always ...\bin. To choose 32 or 64 bit generation, you must use option "-m32|-m64" during compilation and "/MACHINE:X86|X64" during linkage if needed.

NB : Version 2024.2 is last version to support 32 bit generation. Intel has abandoned this feature with newer version like 2025.nn .
NB2 : To developer of CB, reference of One API Intel Compiler is "very" obsolete ... executable of C compiler is now "icx" and this of C++ compiler is "icpx".
       Note that in configuration into CB, it's mandatory to distinguish C compiler to C++ compiler by name.of OneAPI

Yesterday, I changed configuration of Visual Studio to update to VS 2026 "Community" last available for free use ... and I tested into CB with no difficulty ...
Just to precise, I use environment variable into configuration in CB to translate version number of VS version and VS number in name of directories used.
Good precaution, because I just change value of env variable "VS_version" from "2022" to "18" (and yes, not "2026" !!...) and "VS_num" from "14.44.35207" to "14.50.35717" .
Nothing else to change, VS 2026 wrk perfectly with CB.

And, because I'm curious about newer version of "interesting" compilers, I try to change to newer version of One API Intel Compiler : 2025.3.
It's just impossible "at date" because installer tool of OneAPI control presence of VS 2019 or VS2022 ... but not also VS 2026.

Then, I tested if my "precedent" version of OneAPI Intel Compiler with version 2024.2 configured successfully with VS 2022 continue to work with VS 2026.
And the response is "Yes". Only installation tool of OneAPI claim prerequisite VS 2019 or VS2022, use One API Intel Compiler version 2024.2 leaned with VS 2026 work perfectly in CB (or outside IDE). Good new !

Good luck to experiment OneAPI compiler into CB.

Thierry.

Nightly builds / Re: The 25 October 2025 build (13754) is out.

« Last post by Михаил Агарков on November 21, 2025, 05:43:26 pm »

Code::Blocks launches extremely slowly on Windows 11, including both the official version and the nightly build version. My computer runs on an x64 system.

Windows 11 in general is slow, since MS decided that the taskbar and start menu should be made in React Native, that's one of the many terrible performance decisions they made which is why I'm staying on Windows 10.

Using Code::Blocks / Re: Test CB with WSL Ubuntu 24.04

« Last post by Miguel Gimenez on November 20, 2025, 07:15:20 pm »

At least on MSW they are disabled until you open a project. When you open a project all are enabled, even if the executable paths are not configured (use "Open preferences" to configure them if they are not in the path).

Using Code::Blocks / Test CB with WSL Ubuntu 24.04

« Last post by ThierryD on November 20, 2025, 06:29:15 pm »

Hi,

Just for fun, I had tested installation and run CB on WSL Ubuntu 24.04 (with last version available on PPA of Xaviou).
Like i'm very fan of Doxygen to document INTO CB my project, I see if I can use "DoxyWizard" into meny "DowyBlocks"  ... and result is negative ...
Package "Doxygen" is installed on this configuration :

Code

sudo apt list | grep doxygen

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

doxygen-awesome-css/noble,now 2.3.1-1 all [installed,automatic]
doxygen-doc/noble,now 1.9.8+ds-2build5 all [installed]

And plugin "DoxyBlocks" seem loaded correctly (It's seem active in list of plugin into "Plugin Manager") :

Help / Re: Different handling of placeholders

« Last post by FrankPeelo on November 18, 2025, 04:07:53 pm »

Hallo Georg

Just a comment -- I also did not use version control for private projects at home, but I have found you're much better off using one even there! I use Mercurial at home, even for typing up a song (I use mup from arkkra.com). Git is ok too, maybe a little harder when beginning. You don't need the repository to be anywhere other than in your work directory. You don't need to sync to a github or push to a remote repository or anything, or to be able to fork - although those features may be of use to you in the future.  Just start with the basics, create a local repository and check in your changes. Just being able to see the differences in the file over time, and to put comments when you're checking in changes, is really useful. You're just way better off with any such tool.

Cheers

Frank

Using Code::Blocks / Re: Dark Mode

« Last post by FrankPeelo on November 18, 2025, 02:22:02 pm »

I got editing with a dark background. There is still a lot of white or light grey on the screen - menu bars etc. - but if the editing window is dark at least I can hope that the light is not being focussed on my macula. Especially if I double-click the editor file tab to make the editor window bigger.

Biggest problem is, to know what you want. Last time I coded with a dark background, the text was green because that was the colour of the phosphor, so figuring out what colours I wanted was awkward. (In the end I copied some of Notepad++.)

First thing I tried, not sure I needed to do this but... it was the advice at
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69165313/how-to-change-or-add-dark-theme-to-codeblocks
So that starts with downloading a color_themes.conf from
https://gist.github.com/yzhong52/6852140faa233408de67
and installing it.

After that, I was able to select a theme in Settings | Editor | Syntax highlighting.

But then I went changing colours that I didn't like... in the end, I think I changed most of the colours which is why I'm not sure that I needed the color_themes.conf file. I had Notepad++ on another machine, and I mostly copied the colours from the theme I was using there. I had the GIMP (Other Apps Are Available) to pick colours off the screen and tell me what they were in hex. In C::B, in the syntax highlighting settings, I click Default or Comment or whatever it is, click the Foreground colour on the right, click Custom, put the hex number in.

Maybe there would be an easier way that experts would know, but that was enough for me. I'm on Linux so I don't think the "experimental dark IDE for Windows" link would be for me.

Using Code::Blocks / Re: lSdl3 and lSdl3main not found

« Last post by Miguel Gimenez on November 18, 2025, 01:21:16 pm »

You used a "3" (number three) instead of an "S" (letter) in both file names, please check your typing.

Just add "SDL3" and "SDL3main" to the libraries list (the left one), and add SDL3 location to the compiler's and linker's search directories.

If you still have compilation problems read this.
