Nightly Build question

(1/3) > >>

Cuitarded:
In the thread about the Nightly builds, I got the impression that they do not contain the files for compiling and debugging.

However, after downloading and running the latest nightly build (Jan 21st) I am still able to compile and debug via plug-ins that came with CB.

What is the point of me downloading and installing MingW and GDB separately if they (or their ports) are included in CB?

Forgive me if the questions may sound a bit stupid.  I am fairly new to programming.

Thanks.

CB is an IDE. It is not a debugger, it is not a compiler.
In RC2 we provided that, and in the final version we probably will do this again. But it just great dependencies that should not exist.

C::B Release = C::B OR C::B + Compiler Suite
C::B nightly = C::B

C::B = IDE with compiler and debugger plugin included, which is != compiler and debugger executables included.

So as you see: the C::B nightlies do *not* ship with a compiler/debugger.

With regards, Morten.

But the plug-ins and the separate executables both provide the same functionality?  What are the differences between using the plugin vs the executable?

Thanks.

killerbot:
no no compiler and debugger plug-ins support to 'drive' the real compilers and or debuggers.
