ANSI Build/Windows ME compatibility

Azra:
I just sat there for about 6 hours and tried to compile Code::Blocks. the only thing i got were errors. a lot of them. I have absolutely no clue how to start and what to do - I never did someting like this before. I have the source for both wxWidgets and Code::Blocks. and I have a WindowsXP PC with a CB 8.02 and MinGW on it. since Everything I tried to do resulted in massive failure, I'll just simply ask: "What do I do now?". I'm kinda frustrated... All i wanted to do was to get CodeBlocks to run on a friend's computer who can't afford himself a newer one. And now I'm confronted with all that advanced stuff trying to kill me...

I can't even compile the wxWidgets dll (look at picture)

I didn't try this. But you should first compile wxWidgets in Unicode mode with MSLU support enabled. Use the following command.

--- Code: ---mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=1 UNICODE=1 MSLU=1 MONOLITHIC=1
--- End code ---

Once the wx dll is compiled, you should be able to compile C::B and C::B should now run on Win ME.

Azra:
If I write is that way he says that the DJGPP environment variable isn't set (I checked it - it is set: d:\asm\djgpp\djgpp.env). if i write an .exe after mindw32-make, he gives me same errors as in the picture...

DISCLAIMER:
By downloading this build you are agreeing that, in all likelihood, you will receive no support while using it.

I have created a true ANSI build of Code::Blocks 8.02 and the wxWidgets DLL, which you can download here (11.3 MB).

In my preliminary testing on Windows 98 (in VMWare) it seemed to work. You may or may not need to install the Platform SDK shfolder.dll redistributable.

Hi, I'm new here.

OK, this thread is a litte bit old, but I managed Code::Blocks 8.02 to work under Windows 98 / ME and I want to let you know how I did this.
First, it is not as fast as under Windows 2000 and the Help menu doesn't work (C::B crashes) but all other functions are working well.
I needed a good IDE for Windows ME because I'm working on a driver for my good old 3Dfx Voodoo5 5500 (I have the original driver sources from 3Dfx).


C::B is running well on my german Windows ME.

All you have to do is to install "KernelEx 0.3.6" from http://x86.neostrada.pl/KernelEx and add codeblocks.exe=winxp to the file %WINDIR%\kexver.inf and install the Unicode layer from Microsoft.
Now you can start Code::Blocks and it will run. It looks like there are some bugs with Opera, because I had some crashes when running it at the same time.
