Hello everybody.
How to start Code::Block under winME? Here are some tips.
I hope this is the right place for my post. (Dear Admin, if not pleas tell me and move the post)
I'm still using winME and have problems to run the ansi-build. I have to delete some plugins. If not, C::B starts but the only thing I see is the intro-image (I've disabled the tip's woindow some weeks ago). After that the screen is like before stating C::B and there is no C::B button in the task-bar. But I can see the C::B task in the task-manager.
After draging the dll's "debuggergdb.dll" and "codecompletion.dll" into another folder, where cb could not find, it is possible to start the C::B main-window and work with C::B. But while trying to configure the editor C::B crashes. I have to drag the dll's "astyle.dll", "keybinder.dll", "wxsmith.dll" also to configure the rest of the editor.
But in the last days I found a configuration of the eviroment (general settings) to run C::B only without the "debuggergdb.dll". If I allow to run more than one instance and disable the loading of anny file while stating, C::B starts regulary. Only the trial to reconfigure the editor-settings leads still into a crash (I've tested it with the release of the 14th of september).
OK, for me this is good enough. I can live without the debuger because there are other tools I can use.
For mee the important feature is the symbol-parser of the code-completion. I tried out C::B in my company under winXP. So I know what things are configurable with the other dll's and I think a can live with the editor as it is. But on the other side, in whitch files are the configurations stored. Perhaps it is possible to change them per hand?
One intresting thing is that there are some winME-computers where C::B starts without deleting dll's. I have two mashines (in diffrent cyties) and on one C::B starts but it also crashes by starting the editor-configuration. I wonder where is the difference between both computers. If've installed C::B rc2 on both mashines (firefox also, Ife read that one user had the same problems after running firefox). But the mashine where C::B starts has no internet and no norton antivirus.
I hope this post will help useres and devellopers also.
Kind regards,
Eckard Klotz.
