Well, sorry, you misunderstood me.
With limited I referred to the fact, that codeblocks (as I understood it) currently just copies the source files without letting the wizard modify the content. This makes dynamic creating of source files pretty hard.
Since cb is os and under heavy development this doesn't mean very much...

Are you sure? Just wonder how good you have to know me...
--- Quote from: mandrav on January 26, 2007, 03:38:19 pm ---And until you do, please refrain from criticizing other people's work.

As I said, my intention wasn't to criticize anything (especially not cb).

I love it when people blame each other to have no clue, especially if they know each others as good as we.
@Biplab
What about this:
First, let the user decide what method of wx-building he used (wxpack, mingw32-make, msys).
On the next panel, put the 4 checkboxes you said and maybe add something like "auto detect" which tries do find the right configuration available. Since if you know the path to the libs and the "build method", finding out the configuration shouldn't be too hard (trial and error).
with regards

Well I'll look into this. But please do not expect this feature to be coming up very soon.
Finding lib path is not difficult. To add 20 odd libraries with appropriate lib path will add up 30-40 lines of code (my guess) to script which will only be used for MSYS. That's why I've mentioned that the extra code will somehow become an overhead. I hope you can understand the problem.
wxPack uses makefile to compile with GCC. Thus if you add the installation path that is sufficient for the wizard.
One news, I've modified the wizard now to include Resource files and Icons in Windows. I've used standard wxWidgets Icon. Will post it after testing in Linux.

No raph, I do not know you. So my only knowledge on the subject comes from your post:
--- Quote from: raph on January 26, 2007, 03:13:18 pm ---I didn't know that the wizards are scripted. Squirrel? Never heard of it :shock:
I just had a quick look, but I think you are right, the possibilities currently are very limited :?
...
I haven't ever looked at cb's source, but I think

Anyway, I 'm just pointing out that first you should be aware of what is available to scripts and then come up with ways to improve it. You started the other way around...
And just for the record, all things that you have mentioned as "wizards' limitations", are possible for quite some time now.

Good news 8)
Ok, forget about the msys stuff.
What do you think about an panel to let the user modify the names of the libs manually, after the "configuration could not be found" message occurred?

I don't suggest anything. I 'm here to answer questions, give guidance on how to do certain things, etc.
What I mean is my time is limited these days and I can't help with this wizard. Besides, Biplab is doing a great job from what I see. Nevertheless, I 'm available for any questions that may arise on how to implement various things in the wizard. Just form solid questions and expect solid answers.
