C::B build problem with wxGTK-2.8.3

[diilbert]

I can build and install fine, but the libcompiler plugin is hanging c::b at startup. (I remove from the plugins dir and it works fine)  I am not sure what is causing this problem.  Any ideas where to start ?

AND libwxsmithcontribitems is failing to load as well.

Any thoughts or direction.  Thanks.

wxGTK 2.8.3
Debian 4.0
GTK 2.10.6
C::B SVN 3898 with patches

Thanks

I am seeing the same behaviour :-( But no idea how to solve it.

I have the same problems when building revision 3910 with wxGTK 2.8.3.
wxGTK 2.6.3 build is OK.

OS: ALT Linux Sisyphus, x86_64.

I have the same problem, up to revision 3930 now.
Not much use without the compiler since I can't compile anything...

As a note, I have also seen the same behaviour with wx2.8.3.
BUT it works fine with wx2.8.0.

I don't really know what's wrong. I tried to debug this and it seems it enters an infinite loop trying to get the build toolbar's combo box size.
Anyway, this might be very remotely related to wxAUI (we 're still using our bundled version of it). Just earlier I committed a related change though, so that the wxAUI from wx is used if found. Have a try with the current svn and see if this helps...

[jarro_2783]

it still does it.

they're the worst bugs aren't they, something that's related to something someone else wrote and not necessarily your bug.

Can confirm this with r3938 as well. Using wxPython 2.8.3.0 on Gentoo (gcc-4.1.2-r2 hardened).

Good luck with fixing it!

Still doing it on 3949.  Is there anything debugging wise I can do to help you guys figure this out ?

Also I am not sure how to report the actually submit a report to the bug tracker since it is asking for a username/password.

Thanks.

The fact that this works in all configurations except Linux/wxGTK-2.8.3, it indicates it's a bug somewhere in wxGTK code (like the infinite loop is in wxGTK code too). If I am not mistaken, this bug doesn't happen with wxGTK-2.8.4 (or so I 've been told). So anyone who could try and verify this?

Just compiled the latest SVN. I have the same problem. Using ubuntu feisty. CB get stuck on showing the tool tip and the main screen and I have to kill it to get back to x.

Just compiled the latest SVN. I have the same problem (..)

Against wxGTK-2.8.4-RC2 ?

[SharkCZ]

From the wxGTK ChangeLog for 2.8.4
- Fix infinite loop when adding a wxStaticText control to a toolbar

So it seems what I 've been told was correct. Thanks for the info SharkCZ.

Where do I get wxGTK 2.8.4 from ?  I can't find it anyway.  I have tried the SVN version, but that does not compile at all.

Thanks
