Why the size of CodeBlocks is so small?

(1/2) > >>

Bud:
I use Win XP.
I installed MinGW-3.2.0-rc-3.exe and found the size of C:\MinGW is 147MB.
I also installed Code::Blocks IDE version 1.0-beta6 full setup file and found the size of C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks is 70.8 MB.
I think it is unreasonable that the size of C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks is smaller than C:\MinGW.
Code::Blocks IDE version 1.0-beta6 full setup file= Code::Blocks IDE version 1.0-beta6 core setup file+MinGW-3.2.0-rc-3.exe.
Does Code::Blocks IDE version 1.0-beta6 full setup file include incomplete MinGW?
I hope Code::Blocks IDE version 1.0-beta6 full setup file can include complete MinGW then I can use the full functionality of gcc and g++.

mandrav:
The full setup doesn't contain MinGW-3.2.0, but parts of MinGW-3.1.0-1.
Specifically it contains:

--- Code: ---gcc-core-3.4.2
gcc-g++-3.4.2
binutils
gdb
mingw-runtime
w32api
--- End code ---

I don't have all the versions handy, but I used the latest releases for most of the above...

I hope CodeBlocks can be better than Dev-C++.

And I hope Code::Blocks IDE full setup file can include the latest and "whole" MinGW version (includes the RC version).
I like MinGW and I don't want to see Code::Blocks IDE full setup file only include part of MinGW.
Thanks!

MinGW-3.2.0-rc* is huge and I 'm not going to provide it. It has many things inside it than most programmers won't need. For example it contains compilers for fortran, ada, java and whatnot. If someone needs these extras, he can always download them from the MinGW site.

And don't forget: I provide the full setup just as a convenience for the new users.

Thanks! I know your meaning.
But I also want to see the Code::Blocks IDE full setup file can include the part of latest version MinGW.
Now, the MinGW-3.2.0-rc3 is newer than MinGW-3.1.0-1.
Although the MinGW-3.2.0-rc3 is release candidate, I still want that the Code::Blocks IDE full setup file can includes the part of latest version MinGW.
I like the latest version.
Thanks!
