IDE issue finding the Leadwerks C++ code.

[wdna]

Although my project compiles after I added 'pthread' and 'X11' to linker in build options, the Code::Blocks IDE is unable to find the declarations of the 'Leadwerks' namespace.

 

For example:

window = Leadwerks::Window::Create("MyGame", 200, 150, 1024, 768, Leadwerks::Window::Titlebar);

 

When pressing LMB on 'Create' and choosing "Go to deceleration ..." the action results an error.

My version of Code::Blocks is 13.12, the default install on Ubuntu 14.04.

 

I did not find any 'special' way to add the files to IDE, their path is clearly in the include.

 

Should I add what's inside /home/myuser/Leadwerks/Include/ to the project files or anything like that?

Actually this should not be necessary. Did you create the project from within the Leadwerks-Editor?

Yes, I opened the files from ~/Documents/Leadwerks/Projects/Test/Projects/Linux with Code::Blocks -- this was generated by creating new C++ project.

Since I am currently on windows, I can't try this myself, but you could try the following:

1. Create a backup of your .cbp - file
    
   
2. Open it with the text editor of your choice (if you are new to Linux, you might find a graphical one like "gedit" might fit your needs)
    
   
3. Find the lines containing
    
   

4. <Environment>
    <Variable name="LeadwerksPath" value='"..."' />
   </Environment>

   
   (In my file they were lines 46ff)
   

5. Make sure, the path between the quots is your Leadwerks directory (this should be the top-level directory, containing the folders Library, libs, Include, etc.
    
   
6. Safe the file and load it into code::blocks
   

If this works for you, something might have gone wrong with setting up the $LEADWERKS_LINUX_PATH variable.

Yes, that seems to be the the case:

<Environment>
<Variable name="LeadwerksPath" value='"/home/wdna/Leadwerks"' />
</Environment>

 

I'm starting to think this is some kind of Code::Blocks bug?

By looking at build configuration, without this variable compile should not work, but it does.

If you have a space in your Leadwerks path Code::Blocks can't read it.

I've noticed the same thing (running on Ubuntu 14.04 64bit & CB 13.12). It doesn't use the Leadwerks namespace even in the default App.cpp file but I have to refer to all that stuff with Leadwerks::Time::Update(), Leadwerks::Window and so on. I don't have any spaces in any of the paths, either.

 

Could the .cbp file have the <Add library="pthread" /> and <Add library="X11" /> lines added to it by default?

[Josh]

Yes they can!

 

The Time and Window classes interfere with existing ones that only appear on Linux, unfortunately, thus the need to specify the namespace.

Josh, Toaster, found the issue, I replaced:

 

<Variable name="LeadwerksPath" value='"/home/wdna/Leadwerks"' />

 

with:

 

<Variable name="LeadwerksPath" value="/home/wdna/Leadwerks" />

 

Looking at other definitions in project, this seemed a bit strange to set value like that with the '"' escape.

Now everything works fine and I can view the source files.

 

Like mentioned, it would be nice if this libraries will be auto added upon new projects:

<Add library="pthread" />
<Add library="X11" />

Done.
