Build fails on WinXP SP2

[bughunter2]

I've updated the local SVN repository here to 4219, and when compiling I get this error:

Info: resolving SquirrelVM::_VM       by linking to __imp___ZN10SquirrelVM3_VME (auto-import)
.objs\src\app.o: In function `ZN13CodeBlocksApp6OnInitEv':H:/CodeBlocks-svn/codeblocks-head/trunk/src/src/app.cpp:553: undefined reference to `_imp___ZN14ProjectManager16WorkspaceChangedEv'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Maybe two weeks ago I had the same error and I thought it would be fixed. I also deleted all files not belonging to the repository and tried again, yet no success

4219 compiles fine for me :?
What version of mingw/gcc?

[killerbot]

in the devel dir, remove manually the libcodeblocks.a

You can read it in my signature. MinGW with GCC 3.4.2

in the devel dir, remove manually the libcodeblocks.a

I'll try, soon posting results.

Hi !

On Win XP, standard versions are GCC3.4.5 and wxWidgets 2.8.4.

I'm sorry I have wxWindows 2.8.3, didn't update my signature yet. My bad :wink:
Is it necessary to update to wxWindows 2.8.4? What are the benefits? And would GCC 3.4.5 be needed?

Anyways, the build succeeded now by deleting the 'libcodeblocks.a' file

EDIT: At the SourceForge project page of MinGW, GCC 3.4.5 is still under the 'Candidate' package, not 'Current', so it's not standard?

bughunter2: It's VERY VERY recommended to upgrade to wxWidgets 2.8.4. That 30 minutes of compilation are REALLY worth it. Many bugs within 2.8.3.

I use MINGW 3.4.5 and it's all fine with me.

Now i've had compilation problems before. Just *DELETE EVERYTHING* in your Codeblocks directory and do a clean SVN checkout. This works 99.9999999% of the time ;-)

Well I think I just delete the 'devel' and 'output' directories too in the future, but not the entire SVN repository (because SVN will tell me when a file is not yet updated, it sounds unnecessary to delete everything).

I just upgraded to 3.4.5 (dunno why but why not give it a shot) and compiled wxWIdgets 2.8.4.

In many cases that's not enough. If you really feel to keep the sources you have to clean libs, [P/G]CH files and object files in addition for a clean re-build. I have attached a batch files that does so but honestly: sometimes it's easier to do just a clean checkout from scratch - trust me.

Place this file into the C::B\src folder and change the C::B root path in the variable on top of the file accordingly.

Notice: This is a hack for itself! It will erase files! So use it at your own risk.

You know, I did it much easier (I think so, at least), I just asked TortoiseSVN kindly what files didn't belong to the repository and I deleted those. Then I just update the repository and there you go!

If I do so I loose all my additional code... ;-)

Ah, I see Well I'm not a developer for C::B so I didn't add any custom code I'm not really into wxWidgets, so I don't think I can help the C::B project, or can I?
