Hi all.

refering to ...http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Nightly_Cookbook

I've just built wxWidgets and am at the point where it tells me to install/extract the winzip executable somewhere into the path.....it states


--- Quote ---During the build of Code::Blocks, several resources are going to be zipped in zip files. Therefore, the build process should have access to a zip.exe. We have to download that zip.exe and put it somewhere in our path. A good place is: MingW\bin.
You can download zip.exe for free from this site and this is a direct link(32bit) to the most recent version at the time of this writing.
Once downloaded, simply extract zip.exe to the appropriate location.

--- End quote ---

First off, I cant get hold of a winzip.exe,and if I am finally able could it be he/she means put the winzip.exe into... C:\MinGW\bin (not C:\MingW\bin) ?

Where do I put the winzip.exe, maybe it means I should add it to the path by putting it into a new folder and typing
--- Quote ---set path=%PATH%;C:\ZIPFILE;

--- End quote ---
at the command line ?

Do I need to worry about flamin winzip.
Would a winzip (version 1) batch file suffice or am I losing it.
??????????

Oh, one more thing, following said tutorial it states that the \scr folder is in the CodeBlocks master directory.
But it is'nt, it ends up in
--- Quote ---C:\Projects
--- End quote ---
and there is also one in
--- Quote ---C:\ProjectsCodeBlocks
--- End quote ---
.

No scr folder in the codeblocks master dir.

Did you read the tutorial carefully?? It never asked you to install WinZip. It has a clear instruction. There is even a direct link to download zip.exe file which would solve your problem.

Thanks for your reply Biplab.

I'll re-read the tutorial then.

<edit>oh shit,win.exe not winzip

But...that link to zip.exe is no longer working, at least not for me.

I read a previous post where the op has also had this problem and he said the last chapter of the manual had a working link.
Is the manual currently being re-written or something
,where is the last chapter.

I've been up since 1am working on this and its now 6pm,
the life of a programmer,got a love it.

p.s. codeblocks looks very nice coming from dev-cpp, being all free I got to say thanks alot for all the hard work to the maintainers.
chill.

I have adjusted the link on the cookbook, but it seems event at sourceforge this either don't work or are extremely slow at the moment.

The mirrors that used to host the download seem no longer to do it anymore, and things have to be downloaded from sourceforge now.

knacked:
okay thanks alot, by the way sourceforge forums are having some problems at the moment,some of us buggers cant log in without ctd, whether thats got anything to do with all this ?

One last question if you dont mind too much.

The cookbook states

Can I get some verification where : MingW\bin is supposed to be.
