Greetings, I've been testing Code::Blocks the past couple days under FreeBSD and Windows. On FreeBSD, I installed the port of 8.02 and it works fairly well, aside from a tendency to crash while dragging docks around; I plan to test svn builds later.
For the Windows side of these tests: I installed a nightly, made the auto detected "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005/2008" compiler the default one, set compiler logging to full command line, updated that compilers search directories to reflect various SDKs and related materials I have installed, and so on.
Everything should be setup correctly according to the docs, and it ought to work with any libraries I've already had built in Visual C++.
As a first test, I setup a dialog based GUI Application -- it compiles and builds perfectly. Second test was to setup a DirectX 9 application, but it dies with the following output:
"CBDXTest - Release" uses an invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!]. Probably the toolchain path within the compiler options is not setup correctly?! Skipping...
Nothing to be done.
Since the Windows GUI app builds perfectly fine, I would reckon that the compiler paths are setup correctly. As one might infer, both were built using the same compiler.
Does anyone have a clue as to what might be wrong?
Relevant System information:
Code::Blocks: 2010-01-12 nightly / rev6080 / win32.
OS: Windows NT 5.1 (XP).
Arch: X86_32.
Compiler: Visual C++ Express Edition 2008 / 9.0.
Notes: Platform SDK, DirectX SDK, and so on is installed correctly.
