How do I incorporate nighlty builds
Newbie:
Hi, I'm fairly new at all this, so I'm sorry if this question isn't particularly thought provoking.
I'd like to play with the wxSmith stuff included in the last nightly build. However, I have no idea how to get code blocks to recognize it.
Here's what I've done.
-Downloaded nightly build in .7z format
(Downloaded 7z package to extract this file)
-Realized that there's a .dll in there.
-Have no idea where to put the .dll how to use the .dll.
I've been searching the forum and the wiki and whatnot for a while now, and haven't come any closer to figuring this out. I'd really appreciate any help.
(Also, do I need to download a copy of wxWidgets, and if so, where do I put it/what do I do with it.)
I'm running Windows if that makes any difference. Thanks.
thomas:
1. Download CB_2006xxxx_revxxx_win32.7z, mingwm10.7z, and wxmsw26u_gcc_cb.7z
2. Unpack the CB_2006xxxx file to some arbitrary location
3. Unpack the dlls and put them into the same folder
4. Run virus scan
5. Launch executable
Note that you can not use the wxmsw library that you may have from RC2.
EDIT: You do not need to download wxWidgets to use Code::Blocks, but you do need to download it to program using wxWidgets. Since you intend to use wxSmith, that's quite obvious... :)
Either use a binary DevPak, or better, download the sources and compile your own (so you know what you get). Just unpack the zipfile to some arbitrary location and compile using the instructions on the wxWidgets site (alternatively, you can follow the instructions for building Code::Blocks, you get a valid monolithic wxWidgets build during that process, too). Then, make a project using the wxWidgets template, and enter the location where your wxWidgets build lives when prompted.

Are the nightly builds not checked against virus and so on before being uploaded?
Best wishes,

You should never open/execute any kind of file that originates from the internet without scanning it first.
It does not matter whether someone else presumably scanned it or not, and it does not matter if the author is a completely unknown person or your best friend.
FTP servers can be hacked, executables can be modified after being uploaded. And even your best friend could send you a virus without even knowing.

Yes, you are right. It is worth to check for virus and other evil beasts, after downloading/getting a new software. I think that sometimes I am just too lazy and/or hope too much from my antivirus :).
Best wishes,
Michael
