I am running Fedora 7 on an Intel Core2 Duo system. I installed Code::Blocks using yum, and when I run it, I end up with a blank Tip of the Day window I cannot close, which seems to prevent me from access the IDE's user interface.
What can I try that might allow me successful run Code::Blocks?
AFAIK, Fedora 7 is shipped with wxGTK-2.8.3. wxGTK-2.8.3 has a nasty bug which hangs C::B at start-up. Please upgrade to wxGTK-2.8.4.
It doesn't look like there's an update to wxGTX-2.8.4 available in YUM for Fedora 7 yet. It looks like I might have to wait for that update before I can run Code::Blocks.
Why not compile wxgtk from sources?
I will have to decide if I have the time for that. If it takes too long for the update to come out, I might consider building it myself.
I build the library how does that affect my ability to update it through yum, when say something like version 2.8.5 becomes available?
I have update my Fedora 7 to wxGTK-2.8.4. But Code::Blocks didn't start.
What is the source of your C::B and wxGTK? There should be no problem when C::B is installed directly from Fedora repos.
I eventually got Code::Blocks working by just installing YUM updates.
I install Code::Blocks and wxWidgets from yum repository. But it didn't start. I worc on my Rover Book with Core Duo. May it be the reason?
you should have installed (try "rpm -q codeblocks wxGTK")
codeblocks-1.0-0.25.20070718svn4280.fc7
wxGTK-2.8.4-3.fc7
and it works at least on my Fedora7/i386 notebook
I have
codeblocks-1.0-0.25.20070718svn4280.fc7
wxGTK-2.8.4-3.fc7
too.
But it didn't work.
What exactly is "doesn't start"?
You can try to "rm -r ~/.codeblock" to delete C::B setting, there can be some incompatibility with the current vs. older version. What was your previous version?
hi, i have the same.. bug?
i use ubuntu festy fawn, i'm a noob from windows.
i d/led the last night build, and isntalled every package in it, beginning with the librairies
then i have the same problem explained above:
lauching c::b i have a windows saying my settings have been changed according to new values, and then i have an empty 'tip of the day' window covering c::b , that i cant close.. i must close c::b by force quit :/
dunno what to do, i don't know how to compile new versions (i'm afraid of the makefiles to do :/ )
and btw rm -r ~/.codeblock tells me there is no config yet..

Should be "rm -r ~/.codeblocks"
