wxsmith plugin, where is it?

[jjenson]

Hi,

I'm running Peppermint 9 Linux. I have built codeblocks 17.12 from source I downloaded from sourceforge and successfully installed it on my system and have been using it ever since without issue. Lately, I have become interested in wxwidgets, but when I create a new project, there is no form wizard. If I select the radio button for wxsmith and hit the "next" button, I get "wxsmith plugin not loaded, cannot continue". What gives? Shouldn't wxsmith be included in the source or is there some other download I have to get?

Thanks,
JJ

You have to enable it at configure time see --help or the --with-contrib-plugins option.

Generally the best option is to just build packages. Your distro is debian based, so it should be relatively easy.

Okay, I tried again using ./configure --with-contrib-plugins switch. A lot of checking takes place followed by the following error:

configure: error: Package requirements (hunspell) were not met

No package 'hunspell' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables HUNSPELL_CFLAGS
and HUNSPELL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

IS anyone going to answer this?

No package 'hunspell' found

Install the hunspell development package

I built and installed hunspell and did the configure again.

It complained that I needed gamin.

I installed gamin

did the config again

it completed successfully. I ran make and i get the following:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

What now?

Post the actual error message. The part of the error you've posted is not enough.

Also I guess you've ignored my post, so I have to repeat it:

Oh, but I didn't ignore your post.

I've been building everything I could.

I built the hunspell package. The gamin package I didn't have to build; I just installed it.

After that it configured nicely, but then when I went to make it, I got what you just saw.

The dump is too big for me to post here; it's even too big to put in an attachment (217kb).

What is this error supposed to look like? I did a grep for "err" ignoring case and all I got was what I posted. There are a lot of undefined references; as if it just can't find something.

Some of them are "undefined reference to" wxTrap(), wxTranslations(), wxBaseArrayInt(), wxCommandEvent(), etc.

I see. You have not understood it.

Here is a link you could use: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/build.en.html

But I'm not sure you'll be able to clean up your messed up system...

How is my system messed up?

When I do a dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc I get the following:

I used mk-build-deps debian/control

it generated ./codeblocks-build-deps_17.12_all.deb

This package is supposed to install all dependencies. So I installed it.

After that I ran: sudo dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

it rolled for over 12 minutes and settled in with the errors:

dpkg-shlibdeps: error: no dependency information found for /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2u_core-3.1.so.2 (used by debian/codeblocks/usr/bin/cb_share_config)

I'm not sure what to make of this.  Can you help?

[stahta01]

You need to uninstall the manually installed libraries this build method complains about.

This is what I had to do when I tried this method about 2 to 4 years, ago.
