Doesn't detect changes that should cause build.
« on: May 31, 2012, 08:43:19 pm »
A lot of times if I just update the master library (the .lib files change date) the code::blocks says nothing to do, but it should at least link.  Are there options to have it look a little deeper?

CB Version is what?

The nightlys has improved external dependency that might fix your issue.

Version 10.05.

Is there a newer official/stable release?

Try a nightly build version of Codeblocks. see: Nightly builds
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

ok, thanks, but can't you just take the nightly files and put them in the folder where code::blocks is already installed and be done with it, basically upgrading to the latest version?  they should just create an innosetup installer for the nightly updates and then it be easy/clear.

Yes you can - this is basically what I do. Just unzip the nightly over the top of your existing installation (after backing it up), saying "yes" to "replace existing files". This may not be the most kosher way of installing a nightly, but it's convenient and has always worked for me.

(Assuming you are on Windows) you could use the unofficial installer.

I have made the same experience. The project is a (static) library. Along with the library, I have a project with a small testing program which tests new changes made in the library. If the library changes, the test program must be rebuilt, remaking the test program results in "nothing to do". I am using SVN builds of Code Blocks (Debian, Gnome).

Well, does not matter too much, the testing program is small, rebuilding is as quick as remaking, but ...

Be careful: Sooner or later it won't. Its best to delete all files except the own ones before.

Care to outline a scenario where it wouldn't work?

Removed plugin for example or some left xrc file...
