CodeLite IDE

Hi,

I have the latest version of Codelite and wxCrafter and have just upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10. I have also added the Codelite wxWidgets repositories from here http://codelite.org/LiteEditor/WxWidgets30Binaries#toc2.

I am having some problems with wxGrid and would like to step through the grid.cpp source code, but don't seem able to. Are the Codelite wxWidgets repositories debug or release builds because it doesn't seem to say on the page?

Many thanks!

I am not really sure, I think its debug with optimizations enabled.
You can check it by running:
and see that the binary is not stripped

Eran,

Thanks for the super fast reply, I did as you said and the result is:
So time to do my own build I guess!

Hi,

The debug symbols come in separate libraries, libwxbase-3.0-dbg and libwxgtk-3.0-dbg. You can install them in the normal way with apt.

David,

That's perfect thank you very much!

Sorry, do I need to do anything special to link against the debug libraries?

I see they have been put in /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ but the symbolic links followed by wx-config are still pointing to the release libraries.

Also I have downloaded the sources but they have been installed in my home directory. I have put the path in the project settings for Common Settings->Debugger but for some reason the sources seem to be out-of-sync (i.e. stepping through does not appear to follow the source code lines).

The idea is that you link to the original libs. The debug libs just contain debugging symbols; they contain what, when the original libs were stripped, was stripped out of them.

Once they're installed, debugging just 'just work'. If it doesn't, probably your best bet is to build your own wx and use that.

Thanks, in the end I did what you suggested and built my own debugging library. It took a while because for I didn't realise that BUILD=debug doesn't work on Linux so I had to use configure --enable-debug .
