I've been trying to build the Code::Blocks from slackbuilds.org (for x86_64), and keep coming up with errors that I think are to do with wxwidgets.
Looking at the forums of Code::Blocks has nothing but the one thing about building wxwidgets without 'stl', which I did, but now I get even *more* errors when trying to build it.
Here is a copy of the errors (sorry for the size):
Code:

I've also tried a search here on linuxquestions, but came up empty there also.
Has anyone had this trouble or have any idea what should be done to correct it so I can install this?
And what changes did you make that caused even more errors?
I've had WxPython installed since this past July (screenshot below).
What I did was uninstalled Wx11, then rebuilt it from the slackbuilds.org site *without* 'stl', then installed it and then tried to rebuild Code::Blocks again. That's when I got even more errors.

I didn't see any mention of wxPython. Only stating he rebuilt wxWidgets. wxPython is different from wxWidgets (http://www.wxpython.org/what.php)

It sounds like something is screwed up with your base install or you're missing some software that is included with the full install of slackware (or something that is installed is causing conflicts). I was able to build and run codeblocks without issue once I installed wxPython. Are you running 14.1? Because that is the version I tested this on. I do not have any other version of wxWidgets on my system (including WxX11). The following are the only 3rd party packages I've built from slackbuilds.org
I solved it. It seems that because I had wxGTK *and* wxGTK3 installed, code::blocks wasn't sure what lib's to use.
I uninstalled all and anything 'wx' and installed wxPython, then tried to install code::blocks - didn't work. I then tried with each 'wx' package singly (as I did with the wxPython) and then trying to build code::blocks and none worked.
Then, I installed wxPython *and* wxX11, and still code::blocks wouldn't build. So I also installed wxGTK and suddenly code::blocks built and is installed.
The problem I was having was that the wxGTK page says it *cannot* be installed alongside wxPython and so I was messing up.
Also, thewxX11 *must* be 2.8.12 as the 2.8.7 code::blocks will tell you isn't a high enough version.
Anyway, thanks to everyone for helping with this. The ideas that one or more (or less!) of the wx packages was needed or not was what got me to experimenting enough to figure it out.
