importing existsing project into CB?

[mario]

Hello all,

First of all, I'm new to CB and would like to say I am very, very pleasantly surprised with CB,
IMHO it has great potential to be great devel ide.
In my current work I use Eclipse mostly because all-for-one-ide multiplatform reasons.
Some things are still missing in it and CDT speed is definitely not it's stronger side.

Anyway, back to my topic, I am having problems with importing existing
projects into CB.

Example:  compiling wxWidgets source using CB. These are the steps I use:
1. unpack wxWidgets
2. inside wxWidgets tree create dir 'build-cb-gcc'
3. in CB I create empty 'wx.cbp' project in 'build-cb-gcc' directory
4. click 'Project->Add Files Recursivly...'
5. select 'src' directory and click OK
6. multiple selection dialog apears and states 'Selected: 1340'
7. click OK

At this point CB freezes. CPU usage is ~90-99%. Disk led is not flashing.
Been waiting for it to come around for 5minutes now

I tried importing each src dir separately and it works ok (160 files for 'common').

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Regards,
  Mario

P.S.
I am most enthusiastic in helping develop CB and would be very grateful
for pointers on how to get started?

If you 're using C::B version 1.0rc1-1, please wait a couple of days and get 1.0rc2. It's much improved and many bugs have been squashed.

Hmmm, is it really that a good idea to compile wxWidgets with Code::Blocks that way?

Compilation flags must be considered, a correct setup.h, libraries creation and linking, and even more things.

I don't really think that'll end in a successfull build but in a full of errors experience.

Consider compiling wxWidgets using makefiles, either the ones provided or configured. Only when a Code::Blocks project for it be created it'd be really possible.

Sorry for the bad news.

Currently, the best way is to compile wxWidgets from the makefiles.

HOWEVER, thanks to the work ABX is doing in supporting C::B in bakefiles, when he more or less finish it, compiling wxWidgets from inside Code::Blocks would be posible, and very easy. Even, it's probably that the Code::Blocs project files will come with future releases of wxWidgets.

I have no problem compiling wxWidgets using configure/make under msys,
also no problem using MS.NET IDE importing existing Visual Studio DSW file.

I just wanted to create an emty project from CB and then using 'custom
makefile' option try to build wxWidgets (say 'make -f makefile.gcc).

All of my projects I'm currently working on have a custom makefile and I had
no problems building them using 'custom makefile' option in CB so I wanted
to try it on wxWidgets also, but got stopped in importing wxWidgets files into
CB project.

Thanks,
