nightly cookbook install guide raises a question

<< < (5/5)

Jenna:
You mean exclamation marks in windows explorer ?
If you have (for example) TortoiseSVN installed, that means you have changed these files, what is not a good idea unless you know what you do, and I don't think you do so.

Right click the C::B sources base-folder and from the TortoiseSVN submenu chose "revert" and redo all the changes.
Then delete the "devel" and the "output" folder under "src" (there is normally no need to do so, but it makes sure no miscompiled dll or plugin remains there).
After that right-click "CodeBlocks.cbp" and chose "Build" or "Rebuild(Clean)", in your case the second might be more secure. If everything is ready, right-click "ContribPlugins.workspace" and again chose "Build" ore "Rebuild(Clean)".
And if that also ended you can start "update.bat".
Test the new C::B executable in "output", if it works you can either copy it to your original C::B executables folder (delete the content there before) or use it as standard.

Thanks for that jens,

It still is not working like it should, though I can compile and run my own c++ projects.

I'm gonna clean it out and try for the year+ old stable version instead of the nightly builds, I'm having trouble setting the path for codeblocks to the C:\MinGW\bin folder (for that .dll there) and the zip folder that resides there also.

In fact that seems to be my only problem but I've spent days trying to get it to work and I've quietly lost all my hair.

The stable version, its way way behind the nightly builds,
I might have to comprimise though.

I have the feeling you are mixing up things all the time.

Yes, try again from scratch, but read carefully every step !!!! Once you are very sure about a step, carry it out. When you have questions about a step, ask them here before performing that step untill you have no questions and you fully understand what you are doing .

It works without any problem. Don't use RC2, really don't.
