Title: Compilation including automatic saving
Post by: Pascal on January 22, 2006, 12:27:53 pm: Hi,

I really appreciate code::blocks look&feel, multi-facilities and user-friendly capability. But a little question :

with Dev-cpp i was using before, i could compile (shortcut F9) a C file without saving it before, that is F9 causes saving plus compiling. It doesn't seem to be the case with code::blocks.

Am i mistaken ?

Thanks, Pascal

I guess it's RC2 which behaves like you described.
You should try one of the nightly builds. Many things have improved since RC2 and among them is the issue you described ;)

So the best i have to do is installing the last nightly build revision
(CB_20jan2006_rev1823_win32.7z), correct ?

Or you can build C::B by yourself from the SVN sources. Is is very easy to do :).

Post by: killerbot on January 23, 2006, 03:52:47 pm: yes you can, but it is most easiest to download a nightly, and from then one you can compile yourself, or you download a new nightly.

Watch out for my coming "CB-cookbook" in this forum or the wiki ;-)

Post by: thomas on January 23, 2006, 04:13:44 pm: Once you have a nightly build running on your machine, you can very easily build Code::Blocks from sources (RC2 won't do) by following these instructions:

Of course you don't need to do all of that every time, don't worry!
After you have successfully built Code::Blocks once, everything is set up, so you'll just double-click the project file and press the blue gear every time after updating to the next release (and might have to run update.bat afterwards).
