CB menu system confusion

[Pecan]

Lets say a smart new user wants to debug CB using wxWidgets debug mode. Where would s/he get the patches to make the wxWidgets source mirror the nightly wxLib?

I am working on a Wiki page for this
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Compiling_wxWidgets_2.6.3_to_develop_Code::Blocks_%28MSW%29

I still got a long way to go, but I plan to show how to apply patches to wxWidgets source.

Thanks Tim. I was afraid for a moment there that we were going to leave out new SVN users hanging in the wind.

Reading the wiki article, I notice that UnxUtils is no longer available on sourceForge. I'll see if I can hunt it down and update the wiki links if that's ok with you.

I finally found a 2.5 UnxUtils patch.exe and also download the GnuWin32
patch.exe

I tested both versions of patch.exe with the following results:

UnxUtils patch.exe





GnuWin32 patch.exe





It appears that none of the above attempts were successful.

@Killerbot: could you instruct me as to how you applied the patches.
I'll try to find a way to allow the rest of us devs to do it.

I have applied all 3 of them by hand. I think the best way is, to provide a zip file containing the 3 files, so people can just copy it over the original ones. The zip file I made yesterday already contains 2 files, I will be updating it now to contain all 3 files.
And hopefully when wx 2.8.1 (@ Tim : do you have any info on that one ??) the wx 28 people will also be happy. That moment might be interesting to start using it on windows, cause otherwise we also have to make a special wx28 dll .

Only one of these 3 fixes are in 2.8.1, the ones dealing with alignment of menu and graying out did not make 2.8.1. Note, I think they are planning an 2.8.2 release in the near future. They are NOT releasing the 2.8.1 release for windows; it was in CVS for at least a week but it had bugs for windows. You may see it on the Mac computers.
