--- Quote from: rosswg on March 18, 2011, 09:18:44 pm ---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

Code::Blocks does not run well with wxWidgets 2.9.x. You should compile wxWidgets 2.8.x for building Code::Blocks.

codeur:
You cannot compile CB with CB if you cannot run the nightly or official distribution.

You'll be able however to compile CB with CB by installing the (unofficial and unsupported here) educational distribution of CB from http://codeblocks.codecutter.org
That one is fully portable and comes with a recent MinGW. It will not interfere with or be obstructed by anything else you may have on your PC.

You can get rid of the educational distribution once you get your own version of CB going.

rosswg:
Excellent - I will try the codecutter one. Tomorrow, though, when I have fixed the car. Tomorrow is a public holiday here.
( I will have to check what I did with the svn, as I write this, I thought I used the 2.8 svn, but I could really be wrong, but I am not sure if I did so, or if there is a 2.8 svn in any case).
