Error Building wxscintilla module

Post by sigzegv »

I am getting this compilation fail with last revision

Code: Select all

g++ -Wall -D__WX__=1 -DSCI_LEXER -DLINK_LEXERS -D__WXMSW__ -Iinclude -Isrc/scintilla/include -Isrc/ -Isrc/scintilla/lexlib/ -Isrc/scintilla/src/ -I..\..\libs\wx-2.8.10\include -c -o build/ScintillaWX.o src/ScintillaWX.cpp
src/ScintillaWX.cpp: In member function `virtual void ScintillaWX::Paste()':
src/ScintillaWX.cpp:543: error: request for member `data' in `buf', which is of non-class type `wxChar*'
I am compiling with wxwidgets 2.8.10, is that version the issue ?

I am also surprised to see there is no more makefile on this module.

Which OS are you using? (I can see the __WXMSW__ in the compilation line... but this line looks like nothing as it should)
And how are you building it?

oops sorry for the miss, I am building with mingw ( gcc 3.4.5 ) on windows seven 64, I have not tried yet to compile under linux ( also with wx2.8.10 )
I am building this module alone ( only wxscintilla, without codelite ), by own makefile, scanning folders "scintilla, lexer, lexlid and src" for cpp and cxx, and my wx libs are not in unicode

Well, there is no separate makefile for this. under Windows, codelite is built using codelite itself.

i'm just saying this because there was a makefile in previous revision.

I think I fixed this part of code, int file ScintillaWX.cpp line 543, in replaced the line :

Code: Select all

if(len > 0 && buf.data()[len-1] == '\n')
by

Code: Select all

if(len > 0 && buf[len-1] == '\n')
This compiled fine..
But I don't know why a wxWX2MBbuf object was calling an inexistant "data" member ?

I could provide the Makefile for mingw32 ( if usefull ) but I don't really know if I am missing some defines for a good and optimized build of the wxscintilla.

those were un-maintained files which I removed

In unicode build it probably returns wxCharBuff while in ANSI build it returns wxChar*
wxCharBuff as a memebr named data()

There is no need for a "fixed" Makefile. Under Linux/Mac the makefile is generated from the main configure script, while under Windows you simply open the workspace LiteEditor.workspace, double click on the 'wxscintilla' project and click F7 (you can also right click it and select 'Export Makefile' this will generate the wxscintilla.mk makefile to compile wxscintilla.
