Code::Blocks and wxWidgets

Compiling (actually, running ./boostrap to set it up to compile) the SVN of Code::Blocks is giving me the following error, which it seems is commonly encountered:

configure.in:77: warning: macro `AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG' not found in library
configure.in:78: warning: macro `AM_PATH_WXCONFIG' not found in library

The solution seems to be installing wxgtk-dev, which is readily available on the likes of Debian's repos, but not on Arch as far as I can tell. How does one install wxWidgets in the way C:B requires?

Cheers.

Re: Code::Blocks and wxWidgets

Jimage,

I suggest using the Code::Blocks package from AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/codeb … cks.tar.gz .  I just tried it, replacing version 4696 with 4866 in the PKGBUILD, and it worked just fine.  The package contains a few patches which probably solve the problem you are having.

Good luck.

Edit:
Adding: "--with-contrib-plugins=all" the the ./configure line in the PKGBUILD adds some fun features to C::B, like WxSmith for example.

Re: Code::Blocks and wxWidgets

Magnificent. Thankye! I hadn't thought of checking the AUR for C::B itself. Took me a few minutes to work out how to use the PKGBUILD file, but it's all up and running now. Next I shall set it up on my Windows puter and I'll have a tasty cross-platform development configuration cranking.

I'd already installed it by the time I read your edit, so no extra "fun features". Guess I'll start recompiling it and see what they're like.
