Recently, my hard drive got corrupted and I had to reimage it. After doing so, I resolved to installing Code::Blocks on it over Dev-c++ but I would like to know how I should:
(1). Install Code::blocks(do I just use the installer with MingW32 or do I have to install MingW32 myself?)
Depends. Does your image include MinGW? If not, use the installer with MinGW, otherwise the one without. Pretty simple really. Though you might also want to use a build from SVN, lots of new goodies since RC2. There should be a thread in the developement forum, I think. Note, however, that those don't offer installers with MinGW included. So either install separately or first install RC2+MinGW. Instructions to installing separately in the
wiki.
(2). Convert my projects from .dev to the Code::Blocks Format.
Code::Blocks can import Dev-C++ projects. It's somewhere in the menus.
(3). How I should get CVS working.(I need to use the SourceForge.net CVS repositories)
TortoiseCVSThanks. I look forward to using Code::Blocks because its features are superior to that of Dev-c++ and it gives WAY more flexibility when it comes to compiler choice, etc.
Oh, if you want to use another compiler then you don't need MinGW. Unless you want to use both, of course
.
