Lost early documentation
« on: October 01, 2024, 11:03:57 am »
Hi People,

Earlier this year I was busying myself rebuilding CB 1.0rc2 & 8.02 with later WxWidgets versions to fix some 98se problems. While doing so I was slowly documenting the build process from the point of view of a windows only programmer using real 98se & XP hardware, while also trying to rationalise the code to a windows only build and removing duplicated files etc. Just before I took a break from the project I came across a file which gave a very lucid explanation of the CB file structure and required files and which files needed zipping up etc. This file was very much in the style of  "https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Managing_Plug-in_Resources" and I assumed it was by the same original author. Needless to say I have lost this file (I think it was in my browser which I closed before bookmarking it), or of course there's always the possibility I was tired and just dreamt it in to temporary existence.

What I'm hoping for is that someone reading this post might remember coming across this document and pass on a clue to what it was called or where I might find it again.

You need document in In such category Category:Developer Documentation - Code::Blocks?
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

I wish it was in the development documentation, it certainly deserves to be there.

I don't know where I found the document.

It explained the contents of the "share" directory in detail.

I came across it by accident while searching for something else.

Oh man, that sounds incredibly frustrating! Losing documentation like that is the worst. I've been there with code projects before. Sometimes just stepping away for a bit helps clear the head, maybe the solution will pop back in. If you want to completely unwind and empty your brain of code, have you tried something completely different, something silly? My kids make me play Crazy Cattle 3d with them, it might help clear the cobwebs. Good luck finding your file!
