Stop saying C::B is cross-platform. It's only Window's. Period.
juanfal:
You want users to participate in the development of C::B but, how, where are the guidelines… how to compile it, what does it depend on… Every new nightly build is always in binary for windows, no Linux nor Mac versions… no hints.
A cross-platform compiler? :(
I'm now understanding why the logo of C::B is all the same colours as the window's
MortenMacFly:
You should start reading the development sections of the WiKi. If something is missing, ask in the forums or just add it yourself (it's a WiKi).
And nightlies are very often also for other platforms in the same forum thread, just not in the first post.
yvesdm3000:
I use it on Linux. I don't see a problem ?

C::B is not a compiler. Why do you mention this?
For the record C::B works just fine on linux.
To compile it there are two ways:
1. use codeblocks and the supplied projects
2. use the autotools build system, this one is preferred on linux for making installable builds.
thomas:
Indeed, it works better under Linux than under Windows...
You have readily working 1-2 day old builds available by typing apt-get install codeblocks or its equivalent if you use a different packet manager. Building from source works just fine but is unnecessary unless you really want to do active development.
Being someone who actually wanted to do some active development again after a longer pause, I've been trying to get a working Windows SVN-trunk build together for months, without success (using both the most recent MinGW-builds and TDM compilers, using wx2.8 and 3.0, in 32 and 64 bit). When I say "working", I mean one that the build succeeds in the first place (that sounds like something that should be taken for granted, but I cannot even testify that) and one that doesn't have random, visual editor selection glitches and one that doesn't crash when you type a particular kill sequence.
So... no, Windows most definitively is not the only, or even preferred platform.
