codeblocks with Mingw question before i install it.
« on: January 27, 2013, 12:55:00 am »
In the version of code blocks with mingw included, is mingw installed in a way that i can use it seperate of codeblocks?
Or would i be better off installing mingw from the official homepage, and then installing code blocks? ???

Yes, it should be possible.

Keep in mind that older versions (I don't know if this is still true) of mingw had X:\mingw hard-coded (X is any of the drives), so if you have another version of mingw in X:\mingw installed the mingw compiler supplied with the cb's installer won't work.

But this would be the same for all MinGW compilers, if another one is installed in x:\mingw.

If you want to install  a seperate compiler anyway (C::B installs it below its installation folder, and this can not be changed as far as I know):
we use (and ship with) the MinGW from http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/.

I have several versions of MinGW (three TDM, one MingWBuilds, and a few others) installed on my Windows box - no problems using them either from the command line or from C::B.
