wxWidgets ("wix-widgets", formerly wxWindows) is a widget toolkit and tools library for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for cross-platform applications.

wxWidgets enables a program's GUI code to compile and run on several computer platforms with minimal or no code changes.

A wide choice of compilers and other tools to use with wxWidgets facilitates development of sophisticated applications.

wxWidgets supports a comprehensive range of popular operating systems and graphical libraries, both proprietary and non-proprietary, and is widely deployed in prominent organizations (see text).

Linux (pronounced or, less frequently) is a Unix-like computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open-source software development and distribution.

The defining component of Linux is the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds.

The Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to describe the operating system, which has led to some controversy.

An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development.

An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger.

Most modern IDEs have intelligent code completion.

Some IDEs, such as NetBeans and Eclipse, contain a compiler, interpreter, or both; others, such as SharpDevelop and Lazarus, do not.

The boundary between an integrated development environment and other parts of the broader software development environment is not well-defined.

Sometimes a version control system, or various tools to simplify the construction of a Graphical User Interface (GUI), are integrated.

Many modern IDEs also have a class browser, an object browser, and a class hierarchy diagram, for use in object-oriented software development.

In computing, cross-platform software (multi-platform, or platform independent software) is computer software that is implemented on multiple computing platforms.

Cross-platform software may be divided into two types; one requires individual building or compilation for each platform that it supports, and the other one can be directly run on any platform without special preparation, e.g., software written in an interpreted language or pre-compiled portable bytecode for which the interpreters or run-time packages are common or standard components of all platforms.

Code:Blocks is a free, open-source cross-platform IDE that supports multiple compilers including GCC, Clang and Visual C++.

It is developed in C++ using wxWidgets as the GUI toolkit.

Using a plugin architecture, its capabilities and features are defined by the provided plugins.
