Installing Code::Blocks with mingw on Windows 10

@techied Great that your questions were answered.


@BlueHazzard: just allow me a comment. I think the point is "if" you use a 3rd party lib, whereas I think newbies typically don't. Most want to learn programmig not setting up build environments. MS makes it easy since you are confronted with libs and all that not before you are ready to need 3rd party libs. Most newbies tended to run into opengl as their first external lib in earlier days, maybe today thats different. I am convinced that this is the number one reason that most newbies do not stick with CB when trying it out. That is sad, because if you know its so easy. But if you don't know its sooo hard. Because almost everything else became really simple since a couple of years ago. I came from VC6 to CB and remember very well how difficult that felt (even when I had been using 3rd party libs for a long time). I fully agree, I had been cursing their terrible GUI with the compiler settings all the time. However, complexity and defaults are two different things.

Hello,
A university student here. Can I use mingw64 on Windows 10 to compile mbedTLS libraries? My Code::Blocks is 32-bits though. Can I create two compilers settings in Code::Blocks?

UrsBucher:
Also: where can I learn more about 3rd party libraries and the tips for beginners? Thank you beforehand.

You have to ask the guys on mbedTLS to answer this question

And? There are also 64bit releases out there

You can create unlimited compiler settings in codeblocks

Then, why do you pull out a old topic that is completely  unrelated to your questions? Create a  new topic for your questions.
Also learn to ask smart questions. You will not get any significant answer with broad questions like the one above. We can not know what you want to do and for this what you need....
