[IDEA] Community DevPaks for Code::Blocks
« on: March 25, 2006, 12:09:27 am »
Here is the idea, with the main purpose of: aid newbies, and ease development.


We can set a new repository for C::B specific DevPaks, or use devpaks.org. And the DevPaks would be build by some members of the community here.

Some of the DevPaks that can be done:
  • wxWidgets C::B devpak.
  • C::B SDK devpak.
  • Ogre3D devpak (for MinGW).
  • Ogre3D devpak (for VCTK).
  • MinGW compiler, the entire suit, and different versions (3.4, 4.1, etc).
  • SDCC compiler
  • FreeBasic libraries
  • Lua, Python, Ruby, etc interpreters
  • C::B new versions, updates
  • C::B new plugins, updates
  • C::B templates, wizards
  • C::B lexers
  • C::B <insert anything more here>
  • Manuals: OgreHelp, C::B SDK manual, wxWidgets book, reference, etc (devpaks.org already haves some manuals).

And, as some of the devpaks are platform agnostic, the DevPak plugin would be made available for linux and mac.

Anyone likes the whole idea? :)

Hello,

The idea sounds good :), but why using DevPack and not developing another package system specific to C::B, open source and cross-platform?

@PsYhLo: If you are interested in, then you can give it a try :D.

Best wishes,
Michael

If you have interest and a bit of free time, it would be a possibility to learn programming through practice :D. Moreover, I am sure that you will get some help. Anyway, it is just a suggestion :).

As usual, Michael got it right :)
This is exactly what is being planned for the next release.

I would only develop another package format if it is superior to the Devpaks other wise creating one for the sake of creating one is a waste of time (classic reinventing the wheel because its fun issue).  Of course if the way devpaks are implemented makes them impractical for cross platform use, we have a major reason for a new package format.

Yes, they are impractical for cross-platform usage and they 're too limiting for what we have in mind.

Be patient!

Plus, the existing DevPaks implementation does not allow local DevPaks to be installed... They HAVE to come from a known repository, and the DirectX DevPak does not...
