MinGW with GCC4
Ninds:
Hello
I would like to know, now that MinGW is being shipped with GCC4 https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=691876 are there any plans to update the Code::Blocks Installer with the MinGW setup ?
Thanx

I hope the answer is no!
In my opinion, shipping Code::Blocks with MinGW is a very bad Idea.

I don't have an opinion either way. But we do ship xlw4 [ https://sourceforge.net/projects/xlw/files/ ] with support for Code::Blocks with libs built against the MinGW installed by the Code::Blocks installer. However we have now had people using Code::Blocks not being able to build xlw addins against the new MinGW shipping with gcc4.
We really don't want provide two seperate xlw builds, one for a standalone MinGW install ( gcc4 ) and one for the Code::Blocks installed MinGW (gcc3). We already do that for Dev-C++, but support for Dev-C++ is being deprecated.
xlw4 is currently Beta and we're trying to figure out the best way to ship support for Code::Blocks & MinGW in the final release.

That's why it is best CB does not ship with a compiler. I would also prefer it would not ship with a compiler. Because when we sip with a new version o GCC, your libraries might not be usable since hey are build with a newer/older GCC.
The question is for the 'dummu' user who wants to start some programming, a 'one' package *might* be interesting.
My personal opinion, if you start development, it would be good to understand what an IDE, compiler, debugger is.
By the way, with the TDM installer version of MinGW, this becomes very easy, that installer brings the whole MinGW stuff you actually need in one go. Much better then the zillion packages to download manually from MinGW.
