About making Code::Blocks portable

(1/1)

f2099:

   Hi, I use the Windows XP OS, and I would like to know the following: if I create a portable version of CB on my USB device (as shown in CB's manual) and insert it in a Ubuntu OS, is it likely to run there, even though I made the installation through the Windows XP OS? Thanks in advance!

oBFusCATed:
In general, no it won't run, the executable format is different, the runtime libraries are different and so on.
You can try with wine, but this is not how it is supposed to work and I doubt it will be reliable.

f2099:
Ok, thanks!

Alpha:
Keep in mind also that (I am fairly certain) Ubuntu does not allow any program (native or not) to be run from an external device (due to security reasons).

f2099:
   I didn't know about that possibility...thank you!
