User forums > Using Code::Blocks

Install to and operate from memory stick

(1/1)

SailDriver:
I'm using Code::Blocks in Windows on both my personal home PC and the public college PC.  Each has a different default personality due to default or customized editor settings, etc.

Is it possible to install and run Code::Blocks from a memory stick? Would the speed be slow due to the slow memory on the stick?  Bottom line, would stick use allow from the same personally on both machines?

Anything special about making a stick boot-able?

Yes; search on portable Code::Blocks and CB Launcher.

Likely the answer is yes; but, it depends on the computer hardware.

Yes, but; I would NOT put CB on the USB Stick; I would just put the personality on the USB stick.
And, the use the CB Command line option to load the personality from the USB stick.

Note: You can also just copy default.conf from one computer to another; it contains most but not all of the settings.
Note2: You can try using "Code::Blocks Share Config" utility; but, I find storing just the CB default.conf file in a Git Repo as easier.
