Where does github place the debugger_gdbmi folder ?

If you mean where does it place the folder when you clone the source, it places it in the currently active directory.
,
So if I "cd F:\proj", "mkdir myNewDir", "cd myNewDir", then "git clone https://github.com/pecanh/debugger_gdbmi",
the directory myNewDir will contain a sub folder named debugger_gdbmi_main containing the source.

If you mean where does it place the debugger_gdbmi.zip when you download the zip file, it places it where your systems specifies the download directory to be. For me, it's c:\users\pecan\download.

@pecan:
Thanks for the explanation of how and where github clones a repository. I'm sure others may learn from it.
Regards.

One question: When I looked at the file: debugger_gdbmi_wx33_64.cbp

Code Select


		<Extensions>
			<envvars set="cb_plugin" />
			<wxsmith version="1">
				<gui name="wxWidgets" src="" main="" init_handlers="necessary" language="CPP" />
				<resources>
					<wxPanel wxs="wxsmith/config_panel.wxs" src="src/config.cpp" hdr="src/config.h" fwddecl="1" i18n="1" name="ConfigurationPanel" language="CPP" />
				</resources>
			</wxsmith>
		</Extensions>

I don't see the wxs file in the github code repo, did you forget to add it to the repo?

EDIT1:
Or maybe, the config.h and config.cpp is not necessary for building this plugin?

EDIT2:

I think the debugger_gdbmi_wx32_64.depend those depends file should be removed from the code repo.

Thanks for responding. Since I have nothing to do with debugger_gdbmi, you should ask Pecan those questions. I was just trying to add that plugin to my svn version of C::B.

I extracted the changes from your PR and added them manually, Thanks.
It does not appear that the .wxs file is needed. I don't find it anywhere in the whole of CodeBlocks.
That .wxs line may be left over from the original codeCompletion .cbp that I copied.

@Pecan:

CodeBlocks should not be asking you for that variable. It's left over from when AndrewCott used to create a .plugin file.

If it's asking you for a value, just give it a '.' (period without the quotes).

Tell me which .cbp file you're using to build the project so I can correct this.

The problem is not the cb_plugin variable.
The problem is that the .cbp is are not correctly pointing to the CodeBlocks source in your project .cbp.

Do the following:
In a console (cmd.exe) issue the following commands:

Code Select


cd  c:\CB13840
tree

copy and paste the results here.

Whatever that is, it is not the source for codeblocks.
What you showed me is the binary output after compiling codeblocks. It does not contain the CodeBlocks source files.

If you want to compile a plugin, you need to compile it agains the CodeBlocks source code.
You can download the source from https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/code/HEAD/tree/

Look at the upper right to see a button titled "Download Snapshot".
Click that button and it will generate the source code into a zip file. It'll take about two minutes.

Unzip that file into a new folder named CBdevel.
Copy the downloaded .zip file into CBdevel folder.
Unzip the download .zip file. It'll create a directory named: codeblocks-code-r13840-trunk .
Rename that directory to "trunk" so you won't have to type long folder names.

Start your codeblocks, the one you usually use.
Open the .cbp from "CBdevel\trunk\src\CodeBlocks_wx33_64.cbp"
Click on MainMenu->Build->Rebuild Workspace and wait until it finishes building CodeBlocks.

When it finishes, close down CodeBlocks and open a console (cmd.exe).
In the console type "cd CBdevel\trunk\src\ ".
In the console type "update33_64" . That bat file will copy the .exe and .dll(s) to CBdevel\trunk\src\output33_64 .

Type into the console:

Code Select


    cd output33_64
    codeblocks.exe /d /p CBdevel

The newly build CodeBlocks should load and run.

From the CodeBlocks top menu, File/Open the following workspace:
"CBdevel\trunk\src\ContribPlugins_wx33_64.workspace". It may take about 5-10 seconds to load.

Once loaded, it will ask you where your wxWidgets 3.3 source resides. Use the three dots to navigate and select the folder containing wxWidgets source code. Click on save.

It will ask for a cb_release type. Enter "-g" into the slot named base (without the quotes). Click save.
It will ask you for a cb_cpp_std. For me, I enter "-std=c++11" . I think you're using "-std=c++23". Click save.

For each project in the workspace that you want to use, right click on the project name and select "Rebuild". I choose the following: BrowseTracker, CodeSnippets, DragScroll, KeyBinder, Clangd_client, and SmartIndent.

After all the plugin projects of your choosing have been Rebuilt, close down CodeBlocks.
In the console type "cd CBDevel\trunk\src" . And then "Update33_64.bat" so that CB copies the chosen (now binary plugins) into the correct folders.

Now "cd output33_64" in the console and restart CodeBlocks with "codeblocks.exe /d /p CBdevel" .

Now we're ready to install and compile debugger_gdbmi plugin with your new CodeBlocks.

Make a fresh copy of the debugger_gdbmi plugin frrom https://github.com/pecanh/debugger_gdbmi/releases/tag/%22Nightly_Releases%22 . Click on "Source code (zip)" near the bottom of the page.

In the console, "cd CBdevel\trunk\src\plugins\contribs " and make a new folder named "debugger_gdbmi".

Copy the downloaded zip file (debugger_gdbmi--Nightly_Releases.zip) into the newly create debugger_gdbmi folder. Unzip the .zip file which will have a name like "debugger_gdbmi--Nightly_Releases" with the source in a folder named "src". copy the src directory and all it contents so that the layout of the debugger_gdbmi folder looks like"this:

Start CodeBlocks if it's not already running.
Check that Setting/compiler/ToolChainExecutables use the same compiler that built CodeBlocks.

With CodeBlocks running, from the main menu File/Open file named:

CBdevel\trunk\src\plugins\contribs\debugger_gdbmi\debugger_gdbmi_wx33_64.cbp
and Build/rebuild.

Close CodeBlocks.
When the build is successful, go back to the console and from CBdevel\trunk\src run update33_64.bat debugger_gdbmi should now show in plugins when CodeBlocks is restarted.

To run clangd_client you will have to disable the CodeCompletion plugin, enable clangd_client and update its settings.

Thanks for the detailed response. I'll give it a try tomorrow. I was under the impression that debugger_gdbmi needed to be built from a compiled version of C::B

This attachment shows source code for C::B svn 14840 from SF.

Executing codeblocks.exe /d /p CBdevel in output33_64 displayed a message saying wxmsw332u_gcc_custom.dll couldn't be found and reinstalling it might fix the problem. Is there something that I can substitute for it?

go to your ...\wxWidgets332\lib\gcc_dll\ and copy those dll(s) into output33_64.
go to your compiler bin directory (the one you used to compile CodeBlocks) and copy these files to output33_64:
libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
libstdc++-6.dll
libwinpthread-1.dll

Codeblocks.exe /d /p CBdevel executes now. Am having problem(s) with the compiler. It says that there is no linker.

That "std=c++23" is suppose to be "-std=c++23" (note the dash)

@Pecan:
Thanks for providing the procedure for compiling the debugger_gdbmi plugin from source. I really hosed my first attempt at following it. My bad! I trashed those results and started from the beginning again. After adding the missing dll's, I was successful in compiling the plugin. Again, Thanks!!

Regards,
Frank
