parsertest project, Window refresh issue, rev 7788

[oBFusCATed]

Of course, I'm not, I don't follow their development.

[ollydbg]

Looks like 2.8 branch still have this issue(I test a wx 2.8 dll build from 2.8 branch 2011-12-01 in xunxun's c::b release).

So, I will go direct to wx 2.9.3 release. Are there any tips, it looks like the wiki is not quite up to date: Compiling wxWidgets 2.9.0 to develop Code::Blocks (MSW) - CodeBlocks

Search the forum reveals some discussion, as a summrary
1, install wx2.9.3 32bit windows installer
2, edit some setup.h/setup0.h files to disable: wxUSE_STC
3, use the command:

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=1 UNICODE=1 USE_STC=0 USE_PROPGRID=1 BUILD=release clean
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=1 UNICODE=1 USE_STC=0 USE_PROPGRID=1 BUILD=release


Any ideas?

PS: why USE_PROPGRID=1 ? we have a wxpropgrid target in codeblocks.cbp, do they conflict? 
Search the forum and it looks like "USE_PROPGRID=1" should be set to let us build wxsmith plugins, right?

It looks like building exchndl do not need libintl, see my fix below.

This was found when I try to build a c::b against wx2.9.3 with xunxun's gcc 4.6.3.
My bfd and iberty libraries are build from gdb, but I configured gdb with out international language support, so it does not build/install the libintl, this cause a build error in exchndl target, but tracking the build error message, I found that libintl is not necessory, instread the libz is need.

I just test the codeblocks.cbp, it should be fixed too.

Ping, any body can have some comments?

[MortenMacFly]

Because this was already defined in the xunxun's gcc 4.6.3 package(MinGW64).

What about other (especially older) compilers?

Both tests: I use libz from mingw official sites zlib.
Test ONE:
I test the tdm gcc 4.6.1 sjlj, the compile stage passed, so it looks like those declaration does not need at least in tdm-gcc 4.6.1. As I know, tdm gcc use official Mingw API.  while xunxun's gcc 4.6.3 use mingw64 API.

Here, my libiberty and libbfd is copied from gdb installation which is build from xunxun's 4.6.3. so it have some undefined reference in the link stage
As a conclusion, I guess it should be OK if the libbfd is build from tdm-gcc.

Test Two:
I test under loaden's gcc 4.4.5 release under 2010.10.12 (MinGW ALL 4.4.5 (binutils-2.20.1-2,make-3.82,mingwrt-3.18,w32api-3.15,pthreads2.8,iconv_1.13.1)), still failed in the link stage:

So, the reason is the same as tdm-gcc. The libbfd and libiberty should have the same gcc version used to build exchndl.dll.

The change in internal.h should be OK from my point.

Can some one test it? 

[ollydbg]

Now you can try to find the correct commit and then produce a backport patch (if possible).

FYI:
I really find that patch, and it can easily back port to wx2.8.12, so the refresh issue is gone.

See:
Re: wx2.8.12, windows wxTextCtrl does not refresh itself correctly

[xunxun]

Hope it can be backed port to wx2.8 branch
