Lost early documentation

[Tim]

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?

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.

This sounds like a deep dive into retro dev environments, very cool! I've been spending my gaming time lately with something a bit different, like Drive Mad, which is all about physics and wild levels. It's fascinating how you uncover these crucial, yet easily lost, pieces of documentation. Do you find these "lost gems" happen often in your projects?

That's really relatable! I've spent countless hours diving into old systems and documentation, only to lose a crucial link. It's a frustrating but common experience when you're trying to piece together legacy information. Good luck finding it! Geometry Dash
