Unofficial Code::Blocks installers for Windows x86 & x64 Janurary 2022
Miguel Gimenez:
The libraries are intended for plugin developers, I removed them from the ZIP to reduce size.
AndrewCot:
You can grab the required XP files from https://github.com/acotty/CodeBlocks_Unofficial_Testing/tree/master/src/exchndl/Win_XP
The C::B official installer does not detect the OS it is installing on and only has one set of Dr Mingw files, where you need 6 sets to ensure that the installer works on 32 V 64 bit OS's and then XP or 7 or 10+ is also needed.
Gerwin,
I would advise leaning how to build C::B for XP yourself as then you can build the latest when you want to upgrade it. If you want to give it a go have a look at the following doc as a starting point:

It has been long since I used the installer version, instead of the zip. The few remaining Windows XP tinkerers are generally willing to do a few manual steps, in order to make some current build work on that OS. It is already a win to have a current 32-bit build without Vista+ API calls. Nobody is asking for more.
Thanks for the link to the Windows build documentation. I will give it a try when I have some need/interest in a newer SVN version. First I will work a bit with the package supplied by Miguel.
