installing code blocks

(1/2) > >>

rosswg:
One of the instruction lists available for installing code blocks reads like this
download Mingw... ( did and it worked)
download Wxwidgets source ( from svn - did it and it worked)
download cb source ( did it and it worked)
compile Wxwidgets ( did it - using the make file example (release and debug) - this also worked).
compile cb using codeblocks - BUT I only have a cb source
   I would like to think I should use a make file - but cant find it. Would you please guide me me

oBFusCATed:
What about the os/distro you're using?

rosswg:
Windows Vista sp 2

oBFusCATed:
Why don't you use the official installer or a nightly build?

rosswg:
Sorry.  Tried to make this post simple and easy.
Have tried to use the official (binary) installation and always end up with an 'unwind_resume' error.
Using the forums that are available - the consensus of opinions - was that the 'compilers' of the widgets and CB are different - dont talk to each other.
I have tried what I would call various options -
At one stage I thought that the probem arose from and error in the compiler 'chain' and tried various options there.
Today or yesterday, 3 weeks later, I thought to try the 'compile it' yourself route.
The only problem that I have with this is that it calls(in my opinion) to compile CB using an existing CB.
I dont have a existing CB to use. (have cleared the computer from all previous attempts).
----------------------------------------
widgets was compiled by a 'make' file.
It was a presumption on my part to think that CB could also be compiled by a 'make' file but if the presumption was true, then the solution would be just to identify the particulare 'make' file to use.
I clearly cannot use an existing CB because I dont have one. ( all deleted because of the 'unwind' error)
I could try the latest binary installer,(they dont seem to work and I dont see why CB should compile and not the 'my world' program) and then use that  CB to compile a new one, but I was concerned at some of the defaults that may be set up.
-----------------------------------------
It is no problem to re-try one of the official binary installers.  I have used  for example codeblocks-10.05mingw-setup1.exe ( about 74mb).
Would you like me to try this one again and report on the results?
