Assert at startup and crash

[manciuleas]

Hi,

I'm trying to use codeblocks on Linux, Slackware 11.0, wxGTK 2.6.3 Unicode.
When using C::B rev. 32xx an error window pops up at startup, and the debugger shows the following messages:

[Debug] 01:39:47 PM: ../src/gtk/toplevel.cpp(1325): assert "wxAssertFailure" failed: Shaped windows must be created with the wxFRAME_SHAPED style.

Call stack:
[05] wxStackWalker::Walk(unsigned int)
[06] 0xb7458def
[07] wxApp::OnAssert(wchar_t const*, int, wchar_t const*, wchar_t const*)
[08] wxOnAssert(wchar_t const*, int, wchar_t const*, wchar_t const*)

[13] wxAppConsole::CallOnInit()                 /usr/include/wx-2.6/wx/app.h:

Then, on opening a workspace with 5 projects C::B crashes and takes down gdb too.

Neither of these are "crashes", but merely assertions, i.e. the code will nevertheless work fine in non-debug.

I can't tell much about the second one, but the first one tells that you're compiling from sources that are over a week old, because that flag was really missing for a few revisions then, but has long since been added.

Please update to the latest revision before reporting problems.

Edit: Sorry, you're right... it was certainly added, but it's overridden by the app... will add it there, too.
