cb nightly on flash drive

(1/4) > >>

MVP:
is there a way to change the path of cb's settings?

ie C:\Documents and Settings\mvp\Application Data\codeblocks

TDragon:
Move your .conf file from the default location to the same directory as codeblocks.exe. C::B looks for a .conf file (default.conf unless you tell it otherwise) in various places before creating a new one in the default place.

EDIT:
This will help you in running C::B from removable media such as flash drives. If you actually do want to change the paths being searched for the .conf file, you'll need to tinker around with the C::B source code.

MVP:
thank you

how do you tell it otherwise?

TDragon:
In the command line, you use the /p or --personality switch: for example, "codeblocks.exe /p myname". This will tell C::B to look for the file myname.conf.

MVP:
Do you know how to use relative file linking for includes, etc? I want to put my wxWidgets folder and MinGW inside of the Code Blocks folder.
