[ LINUX / MAC ] codelite is moving to cmake

[eranif]

Hi,

This post is relevant for Linux / Windows developers who are building codelite from git

codelite is now using cmake as its primary build system.
To build codelite from git, please follow the instructions here:

Building codelite with cmake

Windows build remains the same

just a FYI, I know the cmake transition is still in progress.

see attached error on Debian Wheezy x64 with no root-installed wx.

-DWX_CONFIG isn't getting picked up in ./sdk/wxsqlite3/CMakeLists.txt and possibly more places. It fetches any installed wx instead.

I started looking at cmake's find_package syntax but found no quick fix (huge cmake cache beats my poor cmake-fu).

thx!

I am aware of this bug.
I removed the WX_CONFIG option from the cmake build since the only way to make it work is to hack cmake wxWidgets support, which I don't want to do...

I updated the documentation about this, check the tip at the end of the page that explains how to use a different wx-config tool

ok thx.

btw I'm not sure if I get the DMAKE_DEB comment:

"When set, a new make target is created, package. By running make package cmake will generate a .deb file for installation "

Assuming cmake produces the makefie which will produce the deb, would something like this make more sense?

"When set, a new make target is created by cmake, called package. Running make package thereafter will generate a .deb file for installation".

thx!

You are correct, fixed

Is there a way to tell it to use monolithic version instead of multilib?

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwx_gtk2u_aui-2.9
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwx_gtk2u_propgrid-2.9
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwx_gtk2u_stc-2.9
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [lib_debug/libplugin.so] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Plugin/CMakeFiles/plugin.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Installed wxWidgets libraries from codelite repos and tried to recompile and here is what I get

Code: Select all

[ 29%] Building CXX object Plugin/CMakeFiles/plugin.dir/tagsmanagementconf.cpp.o
Linking CXX shared library ../lib/libplugin.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwx_gtk2u_aui-2.9

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I just did

Code: Select all

cmake .

And then just

Code: Select all

make

Looks like that your wx-config is still the old one

The output of codelite's repo wxWidgets should be like this:

Code: Select all

eran@eran-linux:~$ wx-config --libs
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -pthread   -lwx_gtk2u_unofficial_xrc-2.9 -lwx_gtk2u_unofficial_webview-2.9 -lwx_gtk2u_unofficial_html-2.9 -lwx_gtk2u_unofficial_qa-2.9 -lwx_gtk2u_unofficial_adv-2.9 -lwx_gtk2u_unofficial_core-2.9 -lwx_baseu_unofficial_xml-2.9 -lwx_baseu_unofficial_net-2.9 -lwx_baseu_unofficial-2.9

Note that our wx build contains the 'unofficial' string
You should use update-alternatives command to make sure that your wx-config is pointing to the correct wx-config (for me its /usr/lib/wx/config/gtk2-unicode-2.9-unofficial )

I just did
CODE: SELECT ALL
cmake .

And then just
CODE: SELECT ALL
make

When using cmake, its advised not to pollute the source tree, but rather build in a subdirectory

A typical build should be (assuming you are in the codelite source tree root folder):

Code: Select all

mkdir build-release
cd build-release
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j4

Thanks Eran.
My CodeLite repos installation is quiet unstable and crashing (no error just telling me it crashed and running under debugger fails) and so I wanted to check the git version if have the issue fixed (I can run debug version and see the issue).
So this post comes as saver!

Failed to locate gdb! at '/usr/bin/gdb '

/usr/bin/gdb has been installed successfully

But why are you hijacking the announcement thread and change its title??

This bug was already fixed see here for workaround:
