SVN fails to build

[wizzard]

I downloaded the SVN today, and when trying to compile got the following error. I recently upgraded wxgtk to
$ wx-config --version
2.8.0

here's the build error
./wxsarraystringeditordlg.cpp: In constructor 'wxsArrayStringEditorDlg::wxsArrayStringEditorDlg(wxWindow*, wxArrayString&, wxWindowID)':
./wxsarraystringeditordlg.cpp:74: error: 'OnCancel' is not a member of 'wxsArrayStringEditorDlg'
make[5]: *** [wxsarraystringeditordlg.lo] Error 1

also, the last svn build that I had installed won't run anymore ;(

$ codeblocks
codeblocks: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

sorry, I found the other thread disucssing wx2.8

any idea on when those patches will hit the svn?

BUMP, same question here. I think this is rather urgent because one can't rely on once-made patches against constantly evolving code.

Unluckily, writing a program bigger than HelloWorld that compiles with both wxWidgets 2.6 and 2.8 and which still remains intellegible and maintainable is a daunting task, if not next to impossible. Debugging is a nightmare,  maintenance a nuisance.

The patches you refer to are not likely to be applied in their present form, as they add yet more preprocessor branches and macros as there are already and make our code yet more unreadable and unmaintainable.
During the last 1-2 weeks, we've undergone a lot of pain in order to remove most of the already existing code abuse.

Eventually all wxWidgets 2.8 incompatibilities will be solved, but it is not entirely trivial without poisoning the code again.

I understand your concern about just being able to compile. But we, too, have to be able to still read our code and understand what it does.

You must run ldconfig in su mode after issuing make install or otherwise Code::Blocks will not load properly.

Ooopz, that's bad.... i've built wxWidgets 2.8 on my distro ,tried to compile Code::Blocks and i got this :

Code Select Expand

globals.cpp: In function 'void PlaceWindow(wxWindow*, cbPlaceDialogMode, bool)':globals.cpp:875: error: 'class wxWindow' has no member named 'CentreOnScreen'
make[3]: *** [globals.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/swDevel/trunk/src/sdk'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/swDevel/trunk/src/sdk'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/swDevel/trunk/src'


LMAO! At first , my wxWidgets install was too old for CB (2.4). Now i've installed 2.8 and it don't work either =P.
I'll wait for the Wx 2.8-compatible CB then..

Chnage the 'CentreOnScreen()' bit to 'Centre(wxCENTRE_ON_SCREEN)' and it should work

It worked! Thanks alot!
