Goal: To have the latest CodeBlocks with the latest GCC MinGW, but minimalist i.e. low memory footprint
Steps I have followed:
1. Downloaded and extracted
CB_20171209_rev11246_win64.7z to a folder
D:\CB2. Downloaded and extracted
wxmsw30u_gcc_cb_wx303_gcc510-TDM-2.7z to the above folder
D:\CB3. Downloaded and extracted
codeblocks-16.01mingw-nosetup.zip to a different folder
D:\CBNOSETUP4. Copied the folder
D:\CBNOSETUP\MinGW to
D:\CB, so now I have
D:\CB\MinGWThe GCC version obtained from
codeblocks-16.01mingw-nosetup.zip is 4.9.2 and the latest GCC version is 7.2.0. How do I update to 7.2.0?
The size of MinGW folder obtained from
codeblocks-16.01mingw-nosetup.zip is 155MB. So I am guessing this is a minimalist MinGW.
I tried to download latest MinGW from
MinGW-w64 - for 32 and 64 bit Windows, with the following choices, but the MinGW folder size is 516MB. What do I or do not copy to D:\CB\MinGW from the MinGW-w64 folder?
