Problem when opening the codeblocks workspace

[jmccay]

I am using Code::Blocks 3803 on windows

   I just updated the code::block code from svn to revision: 4600.  When I open the code:block workspace, I get a script error:
SquirrelFunction<> call failed
AN ERROR HAS OCCURED [the index 'GetCompilerVersionString' does not exist]

(occured is also a type.  It should be occurred.)

I only get the error when I open the Code::Blocks workspace (codeblocks.cbp).  Any ideas why this is happening?  I checked the report file, and it didn't have anything related to this error.

I suggest downloading a newer version of Code::Blocks Nightly, closer to the version you are trying to compile of SVN 4600. The GetCompilerVersionString was added around the SVN 4421 (4405 does not have it).

Edit: It is being used in file cbgcc420.script. So, if you want you can edit that script file. Patch below should disable check.

Tested existence of GetCompilerVersionString using below info.

Then I started C::B and checking the version string by running the following script at script console.

Code Select Expand

ShowInfo(GetCompilerFactory().GetCompilerVersionString(_T("gcc")));
And it returns 4.2.1 and in my case a wx project works well with 3.4.x or 4.2.x compilers.

I updated to 4596, and it worked.  I thought it might fix it, but I didn't want to go on any wild goose chases.  Thank you.
