Title: GTK3 and SDL2 wizards?
Post by: Wazookie on January 06, 2014, 05:22:18 PM
Are there plans to expand the wizards for GTK and SDL to allow picking GTK2 vs GTK3 and SDL vs SDL2?
They still have different include dirs/linker dirs, and so far I've been configuring codeblocks manually to use the newer stuff...

You can right click the wizard and manipulate the script directly.
If you find a working solution, you can provide it here, so we can add it to trunk.

I've attached an updated SDL2 project wizard to this reply. Tested on Windows 8 Pro x64 with stock installs of Code::Blocks 13.12, MinGW32 and SDL2 2.0.1 - I suppose it works on Linux as well since sdl2-config is mentioned in the wizard, but if you're on Linux then you'll have to test.

How to install on Windows:
1) Make a backup copy of C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\templates\wizard\config.script because it will be overwritten.
2) Unzip the attached file to C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\templates
3) Done. Now when creating a new project, the "SDL2 project" template is available.

Details:
1) The template only assumes that stock SDL2 is installed, and only links against SDL2main and SDL2.dll - in other words, if you are using SDL2_image, SDL2_mixer, SDL2_net, or SDL2_ttf, you'll have to manually add those to the Linker settings/Link libraries under Build options.
2) The template includes a post-build step that copies the SDL2 DLLs to the output folder - in other words, you can run the project directly after building. There's no need to copy the DLLs to the output folder nor to any other folder in your PATH.

Just tested it on Code::Blocks 12.11 on Debian Wheezy 32-bit with libsdl2-dev from wheezy-backports (http://packages.debian.org/wheezy-backports/libsdl2-dev), and it worked.

How to install on Linux:
1) Make a backup copy of /usr/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/config.script because it will be overwritten.
2) Unzip the attached file to /usr/share/codeblocks/templates
2.5) If you're really picky, convert the line endings of /usr/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/config.script using e.g. dos2unix
3) Done. Now when creating a new project, the "SDL2 project" template is available.
