Hi there!

I want to start programming GUI-programs. After a lot of searching I decided to try VCF although it currently doesn't seem to have a linux version available. I saw that this is being worked on, so it's not a showstopper. I just want something free being able to run on windows, linux and mac systems..
Most other available GUI-Toolkits looked very complicated to me.. Downloading and compiling dozens of different libraries seems a pain to me..

So I found VCF and thought: Wow! This looks great! But why the §$%$%& are no binarys available??? Ok, no problem, I'll compile them myself.. Codeblocks seems to be supported, even easily.. It says: "Open AllProjects Workspace and build the workspace".. Great! Thats easy! Thats what I thought...

I downloaded VCFSrcOnlyInstaller-0.9.0.exe, started it, disables everything that looked like VC and after short time it was installed.. Great! Changing to this directory, opening the vcfAllProjects.workspace, clicking "Build workspace" - and dozens of errormessages... All complaining about files not found...

..\..\..\src\vcf\FoundationKit\FoundationKit.h:82: vcf/FoundationKit/VCF.h: No such file or directory

49 others follow..

Ok, path not set? Nope, it was set..
Error in the build options? None obvious for me.. I tried adding the path to the include directory myself in case the environment variable might not be resolved but to no avail..
I tried the following path:
J:\Programme\VCF-0.9.0\
edit: J:\Programme\VCF-0.9.0\src\ also didn't work.. That's so frustrating...

I hope someone can give me a hint.. I guess it's rather my fault..

Additional information:
Code::Blocks version is 1.0 revision 2796
Operating system is w2k

Hi,
This is the same for me. I can't build VCF with the nightly Code:Blocks. Actually, I use svn builds and don't want to revert back to a rc2 build.
Could someone tell me how to build VCF with the nightly Code::Blocks? Because they recommends to use the nightly builds instead of old rc2 build
at the Code::Blocks home site.

I use:
VCF: 0.9.0
Code::Blocks : svn build 1.0 revision 3211
Gcc : 3.4.5 & 4.1.1
Operating system : xp

Hi,

I feel your pain!

I just tried with the Nov. 9 build of Code::Blocks and am having path problems. Code::Blocks does not appear to be reading the OS environment variables anymore. I have VCF_INCLUDE variable set up correctly.

I noticed in the IDE that they have done some work around environment variables, as there is now an environment variable plugin. Perhaps C::B is temporarily broken in this regard, or they have changed the behavior to someting I do not understand right now.

For now, try setting the environment variables VCF_INCLUDE, VCF_BIN, and VCF_LIB in the ide environment variable facility:

1. From menu, Plugins->ManagePlugins and make sure environment variables plugin is enabled.

2. Settings->Environment->EnvironmentVariables, and enter the 3 VCF-specific environment variables.

Try building.

Let us know if this works. It worked for me. If this is the problem, perhaps someone can post to code blocks forum to see what is up with environment variables (it will be a couple of days before I can really get into this stuff).
