You don't need to build nor compile anything using C::B "nightly" builds. These are already binary packages (for lots of platforms, including Windows, some different Linux distros, etc), and they are distributed with all the contrib plugins, afaik. All you need is to install the proper binary for your system.

If you want to build C::B on your own, then you need to download the sources (from the svn repositories), but this is not needed if you don't want to do it but want to have the most recent versions for C::B (until a new release will be launched).

Regards.

PC_Nerd:
thanks.

I thin il use the nightly build

thanks for clearing that up.

PC_Nerd:
um - just while i was thinking.  the latest "stable" release direct from the downloads area ( binaries) is 28 feb.  the one on the forums is something like 8 May isnt it?

Hoiw often is the "stable" release updated on teh front page?  ie - will it be long till the current nughtly build becomes the most recent version on the main download page at codeblocks.org/downloads ???

Thanks

From the web site : Version numbering scheme changed
Monday, 18 February 2008 09:38
After a discussion recently held between the core team members, it was decided to change the version numbering scheme used for Code::Blocks. The new scheme will follow the "Year.Month" style, also known as the "Ubuntu version scheme".
So a new "stable" realease every 6 monthes

They only promissed a version scheme, aka how the version is NAMED.   Using a date instead of just a major.minor.bugfix naming convention.  There was no promiss about a release schedule.  New official versions will be as often as the designers determine there is enough progress (or enough major bugs fixed) to warrant it.

That said id LOVE 6 month release schedules.  I just dont see that being a standard.
