Showing registers, and broken debugger output

[DavidGH]

Hi,

as he builds and packages for all Linux distros

Not quite all .

I have to decide to upgrade to 14.04 or stick with it

You do have a third option: CodeLite isn't hard to build from source...

Regards,

David

Hi, I think I will upgrade my VMs to 14.04 then.
If I stick with 12.04, building from source now will mean re-building on each new release... I prefer to stay on a "supported" distro to get future upgrades.
Many thanks
Bye

Just for curiosity, why is Ubuntu 14.04 still sticking with codelite 2.8 ?
The same for debian (even if I noticed that in experimental appeared the 5.4).

I also noticed you put lldb etc. as "recommeds" in ubuntu package; this by default triggers their installation, I think it would be better to remove it, as most people do not need it unless they know what it that......

Thanks
Bye

Probably because up until now, wxWidgets 3.0 was not in their repos.

We switched to wx3.0 2 years ago ( I think ) - when all distros only had wx2.8
this is why we provide our own repository for Linux (when I say "we" I mean "David" )

I also noticed you put lldb etc. as "recommeds" in ubuntu package; this by default triggers their installation

lldb is needed for the LLDBDebugger plugin. I think that the package name is lldb-3.5-dev or something like this

They didn't update in our wx2.8 days either. I think it's more likely that nobody was maintaining it.

It's a problem. lldb and libedit-dev (yes, I really do mean -dev) are needed at runtime for the new codelite-lldb binary. Without them it fails to run, without giving any reason. For people who are actually going to use lldb, I should have made them 'requires'; but that's not fair on those who will never try it. 'recommends' is a compromise (so it will please nobody ).

Well, now that libwx 3.0 is in Ubuntu maybe contacting that mantainer of the package could be worthwhile, if you are interested in it.

About lldb, I installed codelite with
apt-get install --no-install-recommends codelite
so lldb, llvm and friends were not installed, and I have no problems at all using standard gcc/gdb.

So probably they could be marked as "suggests" instead of "recommends", even if nowadays 130 MB more are not a problem
