Unofficial Code::Blocks installer for Windows (svn 10408)

[ptDev]

Thanks.

By the way, while exploring the new installer, I found it appears that the Editor Tweaks plugin and the CMake lexer are unavailable.  Were these perhaps lost during packaging?

Fixed when updated and including your new plugin. Thanks for letting me know!

No problem.

It appears the Java lexer has managed to sneak past this time.

The downloadfile for svn revision 8401 from sourceforge seems to be faulty,
the setup file has only 18MB, and can not be executed.

The download from Google has to be 27MB and the setup runs
but code block crashes on start.

Codeblock 8150 runs on WinXp-SP3 with TDM-GCC 4.7.1 without any problem.


Thanks

The crash might be related to this one:

If yes, it is fixed in svn r8403.

I have reuploaded to sourceforge, it should be fine now. Thanks for letting us know.

I couldn't reproduce the crash on startup. Did you install the latest revision over a previous one?
C::B would crash while trying to load a plugin compiled with GCC 4.6.1. Make sure that you uninstall a previous revision before installing 84xx.

I couldn't reproduce the crash on startup.

As far as I know, the crash only happens with some keybinder-configurations.

The crash occurs when I write over the version 8150.
Has always overwrite the old version and it worked.
I have now uninstalled 8150 and reinstalled 8401 and it works flawlessly.

Thanks for support.

Two question about this installer
1, where is the "exchndl.dll"? This dll is used to generate the crash callstack
2, I see the size of wxmsw28u_gcc_471tdm.dll is about 2.5M. The official wxmsw28u_gcc_cb.dll build with tdm gcc 452 is about 6.5M, why there the dll build from gcc 4.7.1 is much smaller? optimization of gcc 471?

I must have forgotten to re-include it when I rebuilt everything. I will add it back for the next revision.

I compress the main executable and a few DLLs with UPX. The performance cost is very small (UPX now does the decompression in-place), and it helps to keep the disk usage lower.

The size of the DLLs GCC 4.7.1 produces varies somewhat when comparing to 4.6.1. Sometimes they are smaller, other times larger. But never by half of the size, as far as I can tell.

It appears the most recent update to rev 8585 did not change the installer to follow the renaming of ***SmartIndent plugins to SmartIndent*** plugins.  Copies of an older build of the pre-renamed plugins are bundled, which, of course do not load due to sdk mismatch.

I didn't see any mention of the renaming of the SmartIndent plugins in the svn log. On top of that, I did for once a partial build rather than a rebuild, which together with an out of date NSIS script allowed this blunder to happen.

Very sorry for the inconvenience to everybody, and thanks for the heads up, I will fix it now.

Fixed for revision 8643. Thank you, Alpha.

Is the latest version a release build or debug build? (-O2 or -O0)
Thanks.

Hi, ptDev, did you consider include the GDB_MI plugin in your distribution?
http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,16230.msg109713.html#msg109713
or maybe:

or you may need the patch here: small patch to fix build error
Thanks.

I hope he won't consider it!
The GDB_MI plugin is not intended for use by users. It is too unfinished!
