Thanks for the hint. I'll give it a try and I'm quite sure it works. However - submitting a patch might not be a good idea. I believe this is clearely something to be generally thought of. I mean: Setting up (new) compilers is greatly modularised ind Code::Blocks. So should be for the file-extension. Another example: Some of my collegures using the ".c++" and ".h++" extension for their files so they are lost similary even if it's clearly a C++ domain. Why not making extension be generally freely defined? Maybe one could use the lexers (there are the extension provided anyway) to build ftSource and ftHeader...?!

I am going to post this a s a feature request for further discussion (with main developers of course).

How about that?!

... after several hours of building, rebuilding, then rebuilding again the 2.6.2 wxWidget libraries, then eventually successfully building C::B from a CVS download I fetched the middle of last week...   

... alas, a development version of C::B complete with Fortran lexers... 

Very nicely done!!!

(I am not sure if I'll be able to duplicate again after my next CVS download, but hey, I'm willing to give it a try)

Now, there are a few more things I would like to see happen - for instance - the file properties should have sticky check boxes for compile and link...  Currently need to reselect them every time I reload the project...  not too much of a problem with one or two source files, but a major issue with more than that.  The other is probably an item to add to the enhancement request list - the ability to select multiple files in a project folder and modify properties for all selected files.  Use 3-state checkbox with gray to indicate setting not consistent across all selected files (similar to VC++ and possibly other IDEs)

Being a highly inexperienced C++ programmer - I am not sure what success I would have delving into to code to make the change - but then again, what were nights and weekends made for if not for playing software engineer...

[I plan to provide feedback for Fortran as well as mixed C/C++ and Fortran code as time goes on].

I am using the compilers from MinGW + MSYS and Cygwin for my unix shell on the Windows desktop...  Most of the Fortran code I will be working with is legacy IBM 360 mainframe and HP/SGI unix code.

C::B is very slick!

Keep up the great work!
