Is there a way of automatically configuring debugger on initial install?
AndrewCot:
Just because the TDM 10.3 does not build CB should not be a criteria for not including it as allot of the supported compilers also do not compile CB.
I agree with the compilers being very very similar, but they each have different search directories and there are a few different debugger executables used. Having individual sets of files for each compiler allows you to select between them instead of having to change the configuration every time you want to swap between them. The code is all ready complex enough and adding extra code to "try" and auto detect multiple compilers in Windows and then copy the config and update it due to the different executables names used for some of the compilers would ne a nightmare, but adding the compiler & options XML file sets is allot easier and later when the compilers die they can be dropped allot easier.
As per my last post in 1117 the patch had a small bug in which I found when making changes for ticket 1111.
I have tested 1111 on a branch that includes the previous changes in order to fully test the changes and ensure that all of the changes work together to ensure that an end user doing a first time install can get a working compiler allot easier than with the current code.

"does not build CB" is more like "it is broken and produces failing code". No idea why, but there are reports that CB is crashing when built with this compiler. I don't want to promote broken compilers. We've used TDM for a long time, but currently it is not well supported by TDragon and so we have to move on.

I have been able to build CB with TDM-64 10.3.0 and use the CB produced to compiler a simple app and debug it.
Can you point me at the posts about "it is broken and produces failing code"?

Nope, search the forum, I'm a linux user mainly and for windows I'm just a spectator...

You may wish to say where you got the TDM-64 10.3.0 from?
Because I have no idea if you mean the real original website or the second website that was NOT the same person or some new third website.
