Installing Code::Blocks from source on Windows
« on: February 14, 2012, 05:48:39 pm »
hi,
I retrieved the latest version of CB from SVN
and Followed the (very clear) instructions given here
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Windows
lots of warnings during compilation but no errors
but when I run the resulting exe I get the message in the attached screen grab
neither version 10.05 nor the nightly version need this to be on the path or in the CB directory and I wonder what am I doing wrong :'(
thanks
_Ben
using CB 10.05 for compilation and TDM-GCC 4.6.1-tdm-1 (SJLJ) as tool chain

You need to copy the mingw DLLs from the Compiler bin folder that was used to Compile Code::Blocks to the devel folder then redo the script/batch file.
Note: The same Compiler is strongly suggested to have compiled wxWidgets.

You DO NOT need to re-compile CB to fix your last problem.
