Help / Re: Installation Problems on Machine Running Windows XP Pro

« Last post by stahta01 on October 10, 2025, 02:31:50 pm »

I suggest trying the link above and if it does not work install the UCRT
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows-c0514201-7fe6-95a3-b0a5-287930f3560c

Oops, I do not see UCRT for Windows XP

I found this comment on a github site; so, maybe installing the MS Visual C Redist will install the UCRT for you.

On Windows XP, the VCRedist will deploy the UCRT itself.

Maybe, this link has the 32bit Windows builds, see here: Re: The 04 October 2025 build (13739) is out.

Using Code::Blocks / Re: Can't Get Debugger to Work

« Last post by ollydbg on October 10, 2025, 07:00:37 am »

when I try to run the debugger, it appears that Code::Blocks tries to rebuild the code and fails

I'm not sure how you configure the debugger, and I don't know what is the exactly error, can you show us some log message about debugger? It is normally in the "Debugger" output panel in the bottom of the IDE window.

Using Code::Blocks / Can't Get Debugger to Work

« Last post by JoeH on October 10, 2025, 06:14:06 am »

I have tried several times to use the debugging capability of Code::Blocks, but I cannot get it to work.  I am using version 25.03 on Windows 11.  Most recently, I tried to follow a YouTube "How To" video with no better luck.  The small C language test program will compile (Debug Build Target selected) and execute successfully.  However, when I try to run the debugger, it appears that Code::Blocks tries to rebuild the code and fails.  Is there something else besides selecting the Debug build target that must be done before the debugger will work?

Help / Installation Problems on Machine Running Windows XP Pro

« Last post by JoeH on October 10, 2025, 05:58:47 am »

I want to install Code::Blocks on my old laptop computer.  It is a 32 bit machine using Windows XP Pro version 2002 with Service Pack 3.  I have attempted to install Code::Blocks 25.03.  The install file is Code::Blocks-25.03mingw-setup.exe downloaded from SourceForge.  The program installs successfully using all the defaults, but fails to execute.  I get a error message stating the "api-ms-win-crt-convert-l1-1-0.dll" could not be found.  I tried to use a copy of the dll from a couple of other sources that I found, but had no success.  I got a different error message stating that the "ucrtbase.mbrtowc" entry point could not be found in the dll when using either of the two files.

Moved on to plan B.  I downloaded a copy Code::Blocks-20.03mingw-setup.exe.  This version also installed successfully but would not execute correctly.  The error message stated that the program "was not a valid Win32 application".

Plan C.  I searched this forum for similar problems.  I found a topic with very similar issues.  The poster had finally installed Code::Blocks 17.12 and could successfully run Code::Blocks.  The best recommendations he received to get a later version of Code::Blocks operational was to copy pieces of version 17.12 over to a newer installation.  The poster said he could live with version 17.12.  I downloaded a copy of version 17.12 and have successfully installed and used it to build a "Hello World" test project.

My question is: Since the above topic has there been a better solution to this issue identified?  I really would like to get Code::Blocks 25.03 to work.

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / C::B reports wxRecursionGuards error when loading a cbp project

« Last post by ollydbg on October 10, 2025, 03:50:51 am »

I just build C::B against wx 3.3.1, and the result C::B report many error messages when I load a project, the message looks like below:

Code

[Window Title]
wxWidgets Debug Alert

[Main Instruction]
A debugging check in this application has failed.

[Content]
..\..\include/wx/recguard.h(36): assert "m_flag > 0" failed in ~wxRecursionGuard(): unbalanced wxRecursionGuards!?

[ ] Don't show this dialog again  [Stop] [Continue]

Any ideas which cause this issue?

Mouse drag scrolling being enabled and configured to the middle mouse button (Settings -> editor -> mouse drag scrolling -> Mouse Button To Use: Middle Mouse) appears to break right clicking on the main editing area
...clipped...

Fixed  the diabled context menu when using middle mouse combo keys for scrolling. svn 13746.

I could not reproduce the disable/enable problem as described.
I had no problem disabling and enabling via the dialog settings.

Thanks for reporting.

Hi, you mean that you put the option line:

Code

<Add option="$(#CB_CPP_STD)" />

From the target option level to the project option level?
