Getting Started

At the moment there are no binary builds available for this plugin so you have to build it by yourself.

Prerequisites

A installed and running wxWidgets library with version 2.8.X or 3.X.X (you need this also for building Code::Blocks)

To get the code for this plugin you can clone the git repo or download the code as zip archive.

The folder structure is as following:

• Code::Blocks source code cloned to

/home/test/programming/codeblocks_source/

In this folder there should be a folder called src, m4 and debian. The Code::Blocks source code should be found under src

• cbSystemView source code:

/home/test/programming/cbSystemView_source/

In this folder you find the .cbp files of the plugin and this README.md file

Installing

0. Build a Code::Blocks version with wxWidgets version 3.X.X

1. To build the plugin simply open the project file corresponding for your operating system:

• windows: cbBuildTools.cbp
• linux: cbBuildTools_unix.cbp
• mac: Sorry, i don't have a mac to provide any project file... Help is welcome...

2. Configure the cb global variable to point to the src folder of your codeblocks repository

/home/test/programming/codeblocks_source/src

You can configure the global variable under:

• Settings->Global variables
• Select cb on the left list
• Set the path in the base field

3. select the cb_plugin_wx28 or cb_plugin_wx30 target from the drop down menu near the build button
4. Hit the build button
5. Fix errors (there should not be any errors ;) )
6. Open your productive codeblocks program
7. Plugins->Manage plugins->Install new
8. Browse to

/home/test/programming/cbSystemView_source/plugin_wx30

and select the plugin to install.

!!NOTE: The plugin can only run in a Code::Blocks version compiled with the same compiler and the same wxWidgets version.

Using the plugin

target window

This control allows a shortcut to building targets. To activate the view call the menu entry "View"->"Build tools"->"Target window"

A double click on the target name in the "Target window" builds the target. Right->Click on the targets shows a context menu with

• "Build"
• "Clean"
• "Rebuild"

Selective compiling

TODO, for a preview: https://github.com/bluehazzard/cbSelectiveCompiling
