[resolved] No targets in New Project wizard

[stahta01]

I'm building C::B now, I have deleted the folder: cb_trunk\src\.objs, where the gch files locates.
Let me wait for the result.

Bad news: the result is that I still have this issue.
I'm using wxWidgets 2.8.12, WinXP, MinGW-build-dwarf2-4.8.1-compiler-suite.

I had the issue using wx 2.8 branch, Win7 SP1 32-bit, TDM SJLJ 4.8.1 compiler.

Now trying 4.7.1 compiler.

Special steps taken:
Deleted objects folder before build
Deleted devel/share Folder before build
Deleted output Folder after build before update.bat

Repeated steps except using 4.7.1 compiler; and, I did NOT see the problem.

Edit: Changed back to using 4.8.1 Compiler (but added the compiler option -Wno-unused-local-typedefs to reduce warnings)
The problem did NOT show back up.

Edit2: I realized I built the bad version using CB svn 9156; trying again using that CB version to see if problem happens again.
Edit3: Found no problem using CB svn 9156 to build; no idea why the first time had a problem.

I debugged this bug for a while, and I found a strange problem:
In the function:

Code Select Expand


NewFromTemplateDlg::NewFromTemplateDlg(TemplateOutputType initial, const wxArrayString& user_templates)
   : m_Template(0L),
   m_pWizard(0L),
   m_WizardIndex(-1)
{
   //ctor
   wxXmlResource::Get()->LoadObject(this, 0L, _T("dlgNewFromTemplate"),_T("wxScrollingDialog"));
   m_Wizards = Manager::Get()->GetPluginManager()->GetOffersFor(ptWizard);

   wxListbook* lb = XRCCTRL(*this, "nbMain", wxListbook);
   SetSettingsIconsStyle(lb->GetListView(), sisNoIcons);
/*
   // create image lists
   XRCCTRL(*this, "listProjects", wxListCtrl)->SetImageList(new wxImageList(32, 32), wxIMAGE_LIST_NORMAL);
   XRCCTRL(*this, "listProjects", wxListCtrl)->SetImageList(new wxImageList(32, 32), wxIMAGE_LIST_SMALL);
   XRCCTRL(*this, "listTargets", wxListCtrl)->SetImageList(new wxImageList(32, 32), wxIMAGE_LIST_NORMAL);
   XRCCTRL(*this, "listTargets", wxListCtrl)->SetImageList(new wxImageList(32, 32), wxIMAGE_LIST_SMALL);
   XRCCTRL(*this, "listFiles", wxListCtrl)->SetImageList(new wxImageList(32, 32), wxIMAGE_LIST_NORMAL);
   XRCCTRL(*this, "listFiles", wxListCtrl)->SetImageList(new wxImageList(32, 32), wxIMAGE_LIST_SMALL);
   XRCCTRL(*this, "listCustoms", wxListCtrl)->SetImageList(new wxImageList(32, 32), wxIMAGE_LIST_NORMAL);
   XRCCTRL(*this, "listCustoms", wxListCtrl)->SetImageList(new wxImageList(32, 32), wxIMAGE_LIST_SMALL);

   // load view prefs
   XRCCTRL(*this, "rbView", wxRadioBox)->SetSelection(Manager::Get()->GetConfigManager(_T("new_from_template"))->ReadInt(_T("/view"), 0));
   ChangeView();

   BuildCategories();
   BuildList();

   // fill user templates list
   XRCCTRL(*this, "lstUser", wxListBox)->Clear();
   for (unsigned int i = 0; i < user_templates.GetCount(); ++i)
   {
       XRCCTRL(*this, "lstUser", wxListBox)->Append(user_templates[i]);
   }

   lb->SetSelection((int)initial);*/
}

You see, I have comment out all the operations on the dialog, but the wxListBook control still not shown correctly.

When I open the xrc in the wxsmith editor, I can see the default dialog should be like this (see the image shot below)


EDIT:
It looks like the option: Resize border should be enabled compared with other xrc, but when I enabled this, I still have this issue.

EDIT2
I can easily add a new button, but the wxListBook still not shown, I'm no idea how to fix it. (see the screen shot below)

I will try to get a deeper look into it, but I need to install C::B, C::B sources, wxWidgets and MinGW to test.
This will probably need some time.

[ollydbg]

I think it is better we can have a Codeblocks_debugwx.cbp file which link to the debug version of wx library, so that catch bugs in wx is quite easy.

It looks like wxLC_LIST is broken on WinXP, so my changes in svn r9390 to SetSettingsIconStyle break the NewFromTemplateDllg on Windows XP (not win7 !).
Using wxLC_SMALL_ICON instead of wxLC_LIST work non XP. If it does work on win7 (wx2.8 and wx2.9+) I commit this fix, otherwise, I will find another solution.

[Jenna]

Could you please check, whether the issue is fixed in svn r9405 ?

Thanks. It works fine now! Great work.

I have just installed Kubuntu 13.10 and compiled C::B using Jens' tarball codeblocks_12.11svn9393.orig.tar.gz against wx 2.8.12 as provided by Kubuntu 13.10. The C::B start screen shows

Code Select Expand

svn build rev 9393 (2013-10-08 09:17:30) gcc 4.8.1 Linux/unicode - 32 bit

If I try the project wizard, there are no targets as mentioned in this thread.

Another issue that I noticed, was that the compilation was unusually slow. I didn't time it or watch it, but it seemed to take forever.

For my own projects, I also use wx 2.8.12, but compile and link it statically. As I compiled wx, I noticed there was a huge number of warnings being issued about "unused local typedefs" in wx/defs.h and perhaps other places. Writing all these warnings took a loooong time. This appears to be a side effect of gcc 4.8.1, but so far I have not found any way to switch those warnings off. Suggestions welcome.

add the compiler option -Wno-unused-local-typedefs to reduce warnings. Or manually remove this dummy typedef in the wx source.

Before running the configure-script just do a

Code Select Expand

export CXXFLAGS="-Wno-unused-local-typedefs" in the console.
The other issue is fixed later and there are more fixes to the settings-dialogs I am working on.
I will commit them most likely this afternoon/evening/night, but it's always much to test (WinXP, Win7, Liinux and wx2.8 and wxtrunk).

Thanks a lot, but I believe that option (-Wno-unused-local-typedefs) is removed in gcc 4.8.1. I tried, and it doesn't work. I believe the opposite (-Wunused-local-typedef) is now implicit in -Wall, without any way of turning it off. A last resort solution is to start fiddling with wx 2.8.12 source, but it isn't ideal.

I shall watch your C::B folder and try again when I see the update. Your work is much appreciated!

I use it here and it works with gcc4.8 on Fedora.

Ok, i will double check. Thanks again.

I have double checked now, and you are correct again  Somehow, I messed up the first time.

To suppress all wx 2.8 warnings (rightly or wrongly), I found I had to use these two options:

Code Select Expand

-Wno-unused-local-typedefs
-Wno-literal-suffix

As I have many code::blocks projects with several targets in each, it isn't straghtforward to update them all. As a temporary solution I have therefore enabled the two options above as global C::B compiler settings for gcc. A better solution would be to use some tool to add them to my project files, I guess.

If you just build C::B, you can add them to the  cb_release_type global-variable. That covers most (not all) C::B projects.
