Codeblocks when executed pops onto the screen and does not respond to keyboard or mouse commands to cease and desist. It states it’s not responding. . . It stays lock onto my screen. In my round about way I thought I could just delete the software and things would be fine. . . after rebooting the system it was gone. So I then re-installed the software and the same thing happens. Any body explain how files gets updated in ‘extra’ repository? KDE responded by asking me if I wanted to terminate this action or wait. . .

It seems like it is already the latest version and doesn’t look like it has been updated since June.
Does the same here, it guess it’s related to the wxwidget-gtk3 dependency,
If I launch codeblocks in the shell, it throws this error
Starting Code::Blocks Release 25.03 rev 13644 Jun 7 2025, 19:19:57 - wxWidgets 3.2.8 - gcc 15.1.1 (Linux, unicode) - 64 bit
Gtk-Message: 01:20:51.939: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"
If I subsequently install appmenu-gtk-module out of [extra]
(codeblocks:38106): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 01:27:45.840: gdk_wayland_window_set_dbus_properties_libgtk_only: assertion 'GDK_IS_WAYLAND_WINDOW (window)' failed
Thus I assume, it only likes X11.
Adding GDK_BACKEND=x11 to the .desktop entry in `~/.local/share/applications also didn’t help to launch it via xorg-xwayland.
Until someone finds a fix, I use Flatpak container to run codeblocks.
Here is an install script:
#!/bin/bash
# #Update package database and install flatpak
sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm flatpak
# #Add Flathub remote repository if not already added
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
# #Install Code::Blocks flatpak
flatpak install -y flathub org.codeblocks.codeblocks
echo “Code::Blocks Flatpak installation complete.”
echo
echo “run: flatpak run org.codeblocks.codeblocks”
echo
echo “run & expose repo: flatpak run --filesystem=/home/myrepo/ org.codeblocks.codeblocks”
Any tool works from the OS, but Flatpak codeblocks needs customization to change for instance which terminal runs after compiling.
Performance seems the same, drawback:
flatpak run --command=gcc org.codeblocks.codeblocks --version
gcc (GCC) 14.3.0 vs. gcc (GCC) 15.2.1
Requires rebuilding project otherwise some LTO error.
Likely issue breaking extra/codeblocks 25.03-2 package
wxSmithContribItems plugin
as launch stops after clangd_client: loaded
this is a working launch
Loading menubar…
MouseSap: loaded
ProjectsImporter: loaded
SmartIndentLua: loaded
clangd_client: loaded
wxSmithContribItems: loaded
aur/codeblocks-svn 25.03.r13670-1 (+9 0.02) package, latest version, does not install either.
No one has mentioned those packages are broken. I cannot imagine it being an EndeavourOS specific issue?
Should anyone notify those maintainers?
should this forum support ``` for multiline code paste?

It does. Your ``` was escaped for some reason. I fixed it for you.
