Hi,

I just wanted to say thank you, changing "lsb_release -sc" to "wheezy" solved the problem.

Here is my output from lsb_release -sc resp. lsb_release -a:

Quote:

nil@kampfkeks:~$ lsb_release -sc
debian
nil@kampfkeks:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: LinuxMint
Description: Linux Mint Debian Edition
Release: 1
Codename: debian
nil@kampfkeks:~$

So now it's clear why it didn't work yesterday Wink

Great

I'll adjust the README to handle this.

When I run theide, all menus are blank. I can't read anything. I have to put the mouse over, so the text appears.
...
//edit: Okay, solved problem #1 by myself. Solution: In theide go Setup -> Environment -> IDE and change GUI theme from "Host platform" to standard". I think the fonts were incompatible.

Seems more like a same color of text and its background. U++ tries to guess those colors from the GTK, but unfortunately, in some cases it can result in little glitches like this.

And another funny thing, when I create a brand new "CtrlLib application with main window" and compile it, I get several errors.

Please take a look at the attached screenshot, maybe you can give me some help.

You are using gcc 4.7, right? It is the only compiler that produces this error Smile

The latest stable release came out before gcc4.7 became available, so there this little bug just appeared after compiler upgrade for some people. It is very easy to fix (see this commit). Either apply the change on your installed code, or grab a package from nightly repository (they're more stable anyways Smile

)

But for problem #2 ... can you show me your Build Methods? I only got gcc in there. But there has to be mingw, right?

GCC is default and most used compiler in the non-Windows world Wink

It is also possible to use Clang with U++. MinGW on linux is AFAIK only good for cross-compilation to windows (but I might be wrong).

Best regards,
Honza
