Installing code blocks on Windows
« on: November 06, 2006, 02:43:34 pm »
I'm using code blocks on Linux and , for the moment , on windows I use wxDevC++.

Now I like to use code blocks too on windows because I like it , so :

1) code blocks for windows come already with a compiler included ?
2)There is a guide to install and setup it on windows ?
3) I must download  other than the installer of code blocks (dlls or ....)
4) code bloks on windows can make application that don't need dll's to work.

Thanks to all :D

PS help me to make the definitive jump to code blocks

read the sticky topic in the nightly builds forum, and on the wiki page you will find the other answers (installation, or even check out the nightly cookbook) ...

Yes, you can download the full pack from "http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/codeblocks/codeblocks-1.0rc2_mingw.exe?download". This pack includes MinGW compiler which is gcc for windows.

2)There is a guide to install and setup it on windows ?
You can get help from the wiki: "http://wiki.codeblocks.org/".

3) I must download  other than the installer of code blocks (dlls or ....)
If you have the pack with compiler, you don't need download other.

4) code bloks on windows can make application that don't need dll's to work.
Yes.

But with codeblocks-1.0rc2_mingw.exe I don't need to download the wxwidgets ?
The code blocks rc2 , using a template , ask me where is the the wxwidgets and if
it isn't in the rigth directory say that I must edit the project configuration.

Thanks to all ( The fog is diminishing ) :D

You asked about the compiler.
No, we do not provide any other libraries as a download. You can find instructions to download and build wxWidgets yourself in the wiki...
Be patient!
This bug will be fixed soon...
