Fresh Install of Code::Blocks - Notes;

(1/1)

WardXmodem:
Having spent WAAAY too many hours on a Code::Blocks + wxWidgets installation, without ever getting a clean wxw compile, I decided to uninstall Code::Blocks and uninstall wxWidgets, and start over.


* Uninstall of Code::Blocks apparently doesn't clean up enough - the new install to D: pointed to a non-existant directory on c: that USED to be the location of the compiler. - I don't believe I missed a step about erasing things when uninstalling, as I was wanting to "start fresh".
* COMPILING

* "compilergcc.cpp" in line 2412, says to go to settings "compiler and debugger..." but in fact those settings are separate; The above inadequate install meant I had to go to compiler settings and change the pointer to the compiler, in my case from C: to D:.
* Old: _T("Goto \"Settings->Compiler and debugger...->Global compiler settings->%s->Toolchain executables\"")
* New: _T("Goto \"Settings->Compiler->Global compiler settings->%s->Toolchain executables\"")

* SOURCE

* The readme says "This is the Code::Blocks IDE version 10.05-HEAD", however I downloaded, and it installed as "codeblocks-12.11release8629"

There is no modern software that cleans the user files (config) when the software is uninstalled.
You have to delete the config files manually.
They are in ~/.codeblocks or %APPDATA%/codeblocks, depending on the OS.
