NSIS scripts for 8.02 installers - where?
« on: March 19, 2008, 01:28:20 pm »
Hello!

The installer of the latest 8.02 release is a NSIS one, are the installer scripts available anywhere (I'm not able to find them in svn)? I would have the idea of a patch (or at least a 'feature suggestion'), that during installation one is able to choose the path where MinGW gets installed.

Thanks,
Oliver

The latest NSIS script has Lieven. He promised to upload anytime soon to SVN but I guess he is just too busy.

As for your suggestion: We have a reason why MinGW is just a sub-folder of C::B and won't change it in the installer.
The reason is plain simple: The compiler plugin can detect MinGW there and in a *very few* other places automatically, so C::B is properly configured after tinstallation. This mechanism won't work if you install MinGW "anywhere". So such a patch would be rejected. Sorry.

I understand; but I had some problems with the default directory of MinGW under Windows Vista. I was unable to compile wxWidgets with the makefile: make was unable to find some executables, even if they were in the system path. I resolved the problem moving MinGW in c:\mingw.

Is the NSIS installer script still not available? The CodeBlocks 8.02 source archive has a Inno Setup script but the release uses NSIS.

I am trying to automate the setup of a customized default.conf with additional compilers and also CodeBlocks settings different from the defaults. Possibly there is a simple way of doing this without changing the installer? It would be simpler if a base default.conf was in the CodeBlocks binary directory and the one in %APPDATA%/home only stored changes from the base file, particularly on PCs that have multiple users defined.

Hmm, I was under the impression I have added them in the meantime. Will check.

EDIT : it's there, not in trunk but in setup

Thanks for pointing this out. Before I was looking in trunk/src/setup instead of setup.
