C::B 8.02 ------too old, please a nightly build version.
also, the GCC is old too, please use a more recent gcc, such as TDM GCC.

Hi, I am a novice too. If C::B 8.02 is too old why is it still offered for download?
On the download page we find two installers;
codeblocks-8.02-setup.exe
codeblocks-8.02mingw-setup.exe
The second one has the compiler and debugger included.
If we should use the nightly build and the compiler is too old, how exactly should we proceed? What must we put on our system to follow the Wiki instructions and build Code::Blocks binaries with Code::Blocks... Kinda confusing to newbies...
Thanks for helping'

PLEASE READ: Nowhere did I say, suggest or otherwise intimate that I ran those operating systems.
I use Win XP Pro SP2 and the fact that I am a newbie with this C::B Integrated Development Environment, Tim, in no wise conveys that I am a nitwit, nincompoop or otherwise incompetent with general Windows operations. In fact I am blown away that you don't even answer the question and instead simply assume that everybody has adopted the White Vista Elephant. So, could you (or anyone who actually knows) please answer the question WITHOUT shouting?

Addendum: I just found I am not alone in my confusion about compiling Code::Blocks with Code::Blocks as the second message on this discussion page at the Wiki Installation tutorial shows.

Best practice would be to first search for and download the above mentioned compiler, TDM GCC. Googling for just those two words will give you the correct results as the very first result which is a link to http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/. I've personally had issues with the On-Demand Installer from that page sometimes not getting the files from sourceforge properly but I've never had the Bundled Installer fail me yet. So get it. Make sure you choose the most recent version of everything which should be roughly 4.4.1-2 gcc (DONT bother with an earlier version, 4.4.1-2 is stable) and whatever others are selected. Also make sure you install the gdb debugger which is in the same installer.
After that head over to the Nightly Builds forum and download the wxWidgets dll file mentioned in the most recent nightly build topic. Since you ran the installer for gcc above you will already have the mingw dll in your system path and dont need to download it from the forum link. Also get the CodeBlocks archive itself. Unzip it where ever you wish and put the wxwidgets dll you got a minute ago in the folder side by side with the codeblocks exe.
At this point you are ready to use a recent codeblocks build for whatever you want. If you want to build codeblocks SVN itself you will also need to install wxWidgets developement libraries which you can get a link to from the wiki.
