CodeLite IDE

Posted: **Sun Aug 01, 2021 12:19 pm**

Greetings community!

I'm new to the CodeLite that's why I've decided to give feedback and
share the problem with you. I want to build CodeLite on my Windows 7 64bit machine
to get a native wxWidgets GUI. I have no idea why IDE doesn't give you all of it out of the box
but I hope there is a good reason for it.

I followed almost all the instructions on the site:
https://docs.codelite.org/build/build_from_sources/

I've skipped these steps:
1) Building zlib
2) Building OpenSSL
3) Building libssh
because I have all of this in my MSYS2 MinGW-w64 toolchain after:

Code: Select all

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain

The system also has mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-toolchain
and nothing more. 32-bit versions of both toolchains are
not installed.

Here is my Windows OS Environment:

Code: Select all

C:\dev-tools\codelite;
C:\dev-tools\msys\mingw64\bin;
C:\dev-tools\msys\clang64\bin;
C:\Windows;
C:\Windows\system32;
C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;

Building WxWidgets stage was successful.
Building CodeLite stage seems like an impossible task for me.

I didn't change anything in

CodeLiteIDE.workspace file

Except for the environment variables:

My Workspace env vars:

Code: Select all

WXWIN=C:\dev-tools\msys\home\Admin\wxWidgets
WXCFG=gcc_x64_dll/mswu

My Project env vars:

Code: Select all

PATH=$WXWIN\lib\gcc_x64_dll;../sdk/clang/lib;../sdk/libssh/lib;$(PATH)

By the way what is the difference between <Use Defaults> and Default sets?
Really confusing naming because it looks like one thing with different names.

What style of paths should I use in CodeLite user interface?
Windows style with backslash C:\\\\\ or Linux style with common slash /c//////?

It looks like a hybrid in Eran's file:
PATH=$WXWIN\lib\gcc_x64_dll;../sdk/clang/lib;../sdk/libssh/lib;$(PATH)
Used both styles /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ what?

If this helps here is my Build.Log

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

I don't use Windows, so I can't help you directly; however, have you noticed this current forum thread, and this slightly older one?

Regards,

David

Really kind of you, David. I will look these threads.

I just noticed this in your build (notice that your WXCFG is not honored):

Code: Select all

-IC:/dev-tools/msys/home/Admin/wxWidgets/lib/gcc_dll/mswu

this means that CodeLite is using the old wx-config for Window (I have switched to a new version that support the build instructions).
Please build this wx-config:

https://github.com/eranif/wx-config-msys2

Once built, copy the bin\wx-config.exe (there are 2, make sure you copy this one)
to CodeLite's installation directory and replace the one that comes with it

Build again it should work now

Now it's working but when it comes to building PHP Plugin mingw32-make fails:

I have done all instructions posted on the site.
This — https://docs.codelite.org/build/build_wx_widgets/
This — https://docs.codelite.org/build/mingw_builds/
And finally this — https://docs.codelite.org/build/build_from_sources/

Am I doing something wrong or the documentation is incorrect?
Maybe there are additional steps to build CodeLite for the Windows?

Did you try doing an Re-Build of at least PCH?

Or can you post a build of PCH; why did you skip showing the build of PCH?

Edit: Which version of CodeLite IDE are you using?

The OP might be using CLang instead of MinGW64 GCC to build CodeLite; does anyone know if this works?
Correction the OP has CLang installed; but, is using GCC in images.

Which version of CodeLite IDE are you using?

Version: 15.0.0

Or can you post a build of PCH; why did you skip showing the build of PCH?

BuildLog is to large (255 lines). I just don't want to inflate the topic. But I can attach the full
log. Here Only PCH part:

"----------Building project:[ PCH - Win_x64_Release ]----------"

Did you try doing an Re-Build of at least PCH?

Yes I did.

And, you used the cmake build directions of wxWidgets 3.1 git?
I have not done that way; I will see if it works for me.
Could easily be a day for me to build wxWidgets using cmake since I have never done it that way.
