Code::Blocks and Raspberry Pi 4

[dbrdh]

Hi all,

Have just bought a RP4 and installed C::B.

All OK but in trying out just to create a simple 'Hello World' GTK app. Sorted libraries for the compiler but I find the build fails due to:

'gtk_button_new_from_stock' is deprecated in the 'main.c' file: Use 'gtk_button_new_with_label' instead [-Wdeprecated-declarations]'

Wasn't expecting an IDE basic app build to fail out of the box but accept this maybe a Noob issue - where is the proper place to get an answer to this as I appreciate the "Read This' post and this may not be the correct forum to ask about this.

Thanks

Do you know the difference between error and warning?

Where is Code::Blocks installed? Edit2: On RP4 or other computer
What version is Code::Blocks?
What compiler are you using?
What is the Compiler version?

@dbrdh: If you're running a night build or recent svn version it is best to log this issue in the sf.net tickets section, so it is not forgotten. This is a problem with the GTK project template. What version of gtk+ are you using?

Thanks for the reply...

yep. Now you've reminded me! :-)

C::B is on the Pi v17.12
GCC v.8.3.0.

Thanks for this. I'm new to programming in Linux and new to the Pi - I have done a fair bit of Basic, VB, C and C++ but a long time ago - that helped with sorting the missing libraries. Maybe I'm being a real Noob but I was expecting, perhaps naively, just to compile and run a simple GUI 'Hello world' app without too much [any?] input. However, when this new to a platform/app/environment, it's difficult to know what are noob issues and what is a genuine issue! 8-)

Still reading up - a lot! 8-)

Sorted my initial issue and am ignoring the warnings. Having sorted out missing libraries, now have new errors relating to undefined references. I know what these are but they seem extensive and relate to the window construction/size/position so perhaps I'll post using info from link you supplied.

Thanks again,

Dave

Noted.

GTK+ 3.0 version: 3.24.5-1+rpt2  armhf 

Sorted the initial issue but as you may have seen in my other reply, I now have 'undefined reference' errors relating to GUI window construction. This seems to fit with what you say about a template issue. Its tripping up on things like undefined border setting and window position.

Is the section you referenced above the right place for this?

Cheers,

Dave

Most probably it is.

FYI: Just looked at the wizard and it looks like it only support GTK version 2 under Windows.
Edit: And, that version seems to be the only one supported under other OSes.
