Code::Blocks Freezing on splash screen

Ok so far I’ve got codeblocks to load and theurs a but, I have to remove 3 files from the plugin folder located at

Location: /usr/lib/codeblocks/plugins/

the 3 files were

libwxsmith.so
libwxSmithAui.so
libwxsmithcontribitems.so

These file are for the wxWidgets as I now don’t have it in the menus which is sad, but I now need to see why they are causing the problem, Would be nice to have the wxWidgets.

oh and the codeblock package I’ve used was…..

as I’ve been through them all with same symptoms, freezing on the splash screen, I tried running as admin, and in X11 Display Server, Followed hundreds of google links and even asked chat GPT xD, to no avail, untill i decided to hunt around my systems files and see, I decided to check the plugins after doing a “strace codeblocks” as much of it i didn’t understand per say just a load of windows functions ect.. until i seen an error in and around about the plugins, 4 days I have been at this hahahah, but worth it!, Well hope this help some one to get part way like I have, and i hope some one can find out why this is happening to those plugins.

Have fun :).
