Strange, I deleted the install/ folder, executed cmake followed by mingw32-make install and the files are there If you will look in the links below, you can see that the mentioned DLLs are supposed to be installed...

Hi Eran Thank you for your prompt response. There seems to be a problem with my install of Msys2 something is missing . Current build logs and the .bashrc: : Codelite-build error.txt The-complete-build-log.txt .bashrc.txt Any Suggestions? Noel

For the build error, WxWidgets has made an update which requires change in codebase :-/ Using WxWidgets v3.2.5 should fix that. (but cannot install codelite which requires the dll from v3.3.0 :-/ ) WxWidgets with sha1 3737245c5195d84f0c788e650c6ad7992eec03d7 works. (CI updated with #3444)

Hi Jarrod, Thank you for the update. So what are the steps I have to take to get a successful build of Codelite. Noel

[Jarod42]

Until Codelite trunk is updated to works with latest WxWidgets, use "older" version of WxWidget:

git clone https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets
cd wxWidgets
git checkout 3737245c5195d84f0c788e650c6ad7992eec03d7
git submodule update --init

For your missing dlls, you might still have the issue though :-/ I don't know why you got missing dlls at the beginning.

Hi Jarrod, Thank you for the suggestions. In fact that was going to be my task for today. The reason for my need to to build Codelite is to add the capability to of Embedded Debugging to Codelite. Will keep you posted on this. Many thanks and best regards, Noel

Successful Build of Codelite IDE. I had to make a smal;l change to the instructions as follows :

git clone https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets cd wxWidgets git checkout 3737245c5195d84f0c788e650c6ad7992eec03d7 git submodule update --init

Where is the checkout tag 3737245c5195d84f0c788e650c6ad7992eec03d7 obtained from? Noel

[Jarod42]

Some trivial investigation:

• Build error is for a signature change of a virtual function (thanks to override).
• git blame find the commit (which were the last one :-) )

And finally test that commit.

Thank you Jarrod. Now back to getting my wxPython installer GUI to setup Embedded Systems Environment up and running

Cheers Noell

Codelite's master has been fixed. You have to use either WxWidget v2.5.x or master (as 3737245c5195d84f0c788e650c6ad7992eec03d7 is incompatible with the fix).
