ATTENTION: read this before flagging this package out-of-date

This package "codelite" represents the stable release of the codelite project.

I do not consider the "Weekly Builds" from http://downloads.codelite.org/ as stable releases (neither does the codelite project)

Generally speaking - this package will not be updated before the codelite release/download page (https://downloads.codelite.org/) have a new stable release published.

Please respect that - Thanks

PS: to clear up a recent misunderstanding - this does not mean that I won't accept patches that is needed for stable codelite to build against refreshed libraries etc

I have added new "codelite-unstable" package to AUR that follows the weekly/latest builds from the codelite project.

Also the "codelite-git" package will build bleeding edge CodeLite - use that if you want something that hasn't been released in stable or unstable state.

@janp: Quote: Moreover, I compared the binary wx libraries in the /usr/lib/codelite/ directory and the ones installed from the distribution package in /usr/lib and there are no differences.

Yes that is why I find it so wierd that it is needed - as you say it is just a local copy of the already installed system wx-libs...

@uffe... great, found it:

Moreover, I compared the binary wx libraries in the /usr/lib/codelite/ directory and the ones installed from the distribution package in /usr/lib and there are no differences.

@janp: regarding stack-dump: maybe systemd has recorded the codedump for you...

Try coredumpctl list, coredumpctl list codelite and coredumpctl info codelite

@uffe 1) the first time I built codelite 18 I changed the cmake line (line 349) adding --parallel 20, the second time, when apparently the problem has been fixed, I added the "-DCOPY_WX_LIBS=1" option to line 345

cmake -B "${BUILD_DIR}" -S . -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DWITH_PCH=0 -DWITH_WX_CONFIG=${WX_CONFIG} -DWITH_NATIVEBOOK=1 -DENABLE_LLDB=1 -DWITH_MYSQL=0 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib -DCOPY_WX_LIBS=1

2)

~ > which wx-config
/usr/bin/wx-config

I have both wx gtk and wx qt installed.

3) no

4) unfortunately not. Codelite offered me to open gdb, which I didn't find very useful. To get the stack dump I should rebuild codelite, no time for now.

Thank you

@janp: I cannot provoke/see the problem that you've reported.

I have a feeling that there may be more (unreported) details to the problem...

Questions:

1) did you modify WX_CONFIG in PKGBUILD ?

2) what is the output from which wx-config ?

3) have you by any chance built wxwidgets yourself ?

4) do you have a stack-dump from the crash ?

NOTE: in case you've built wxwidgets yourself: - the COPY_WX_LIBS is mostly meant for shipping binary packages to systems where wxwidgets is in a "unknown" state. Archlinux already has wxwidget distribution packages (wxwidgets-common wxwidgets-gtk3). You should try to install those and build without the COPY_WX_LIBS option

Thanks :-)

The latest version 18.0.0 crashes when closing the workspace. The option "-DCOPY_WX_LIBS=1" added to the cmake command in the PKGBUILD file seems to fix it.

-cmake -B "${BUILD_DIR}" -S . -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DWITH_PCH=0 -DWITH_WX_CONFIG=${WX_CONFIG} -DWITH_NATIVEBOOK=1 -DENABLE_LLDB=1 -DWITH_MYSQL=0 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib
+cmake -B "${BUILD_DIR}" -S . -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DWITH_PCH=0 -DWITH_WX_CONFIG=${WX_CONFIG} -DWITH_NATIVEBOOK=1 -DENABLE_LLDB=1 -DWITH_MYSQL=0 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib -DCOPY_WX_LIBS=1

I found that option here https://docs.codelite.org/build/build_from_sources/#linux and noticed that was omitted

CodeLite 17.0.0 was released 2023-01-11 (21 months ago)

If you look at the dependencies section above you'll see lots of external dependencies. One of the most vital dependencies is "wxwidgets-gtk3" - as the whole CodeLite GUI is based on the wxwidgets framework.

The wxwidgets-gtk package is controlled and maintained by the ArchLinux folks - they will provide an updated package whenever a new one is available.

for a long time they have provided wxwidgets-gtk in the range of 3.2.x

Latest wxwidgets-gtk is 3.2.6 - at the time of release of CodeLite-17.0.0 - wxwidgets-gtk was at version 3.2.1

Unfortunately the wxwidgets-gtk project itself has a bad habit on breaking compatibility within a "maintenance branch" such as 3.2.x

It is just too much patch work to keep this floating as the CodeLite-17.0.0 is getting pretty old

With the current challenges you'll have to build CodeLite-17.0.0 against wxwidgets-gtk versions 3.2.1, 3.2.2 or 3.2.2.1

A better way would be to build AUR "codelite-unstable" - or maybe even the bleeding edge AUR "codelite-git" - both of them have numerous improvements compared to CodeLite-17.0.0
