I'm new to the forums and to Code::blocks, having just started using it in April as part of my intro to C++ course in college. I noticed that even though I've set up a cross compiler on the install on my linux laptop (not easy, as the instructions are geared specifically to Ubuntu, and I use openSuSE, which has a different directory structure for the mingw install, not to mention the instructions apparently are a couple years old), there doesn't seem to be a way to point Code::blocks at a project being a windows GUI application from within Linux. As a college student taking an intro to C++ course, this is not, of course critical, as all the work being done as yet and, as far as I know, for the whole course, is going to be console applications. For my own curiosity, however, I am wondering if there is a way to add this project target, whether through settings like how I added in the MinGW cross compiler (BTW, one would think that Code::Blocks would be set up to just look for that and be able to select and use it), or via some sort of plugin.
