« Last post by killerbot on November 11, 2024, 05:00:27 pm »

We switched to gcc 14.1.0 (on 20 May 2024) --> download the new wx/mingw dll's see link below

Get the compiler we use here : https://github.com/brechtsanders/winlibs_mingw/releases/download/14.1.0posix-18.1.5-11.0.1-ucrt-r1/winlibs-x86_64-posix-seh-gcc-14.1.0-mingw-w64ucrt-11.0.1-r1.7z

Get quick announcements through the RSS feed http://www.codeblocks.org/nightly/CodeBlock_RSS.xml

Before you use a nightly make sure you understand how it works.

I was wondering if both places needed changed or just one of the places. If one, I thought I picked the correct one.
Edit: I think it would be best to change both places, now.

This is what I think the correct fix is. But, I have not tested it.

... I know there are nightly builds but that will be over my head

This is exactly why I just made this post:

Check it, it is not so difficult to do! And give me feedback, how did it success.

a ")" is missing -==> @ wh11204

Could you add it, I am at a non edit location at the moment ;-)

As a mostly satisfied Code::Blocks user I miss that the currents version 20.03 different issues to be addressed. I know there are nightly builds but that will be over my head.

I think the current version is more than four years old...

As long as fresh installs ** defaults the correct way and the FAQs are updated I consider fixed to be okay; but, I have no idea if either is true.
** Fresh installs means deleting the CB config data and re-installing CB

It does NOT default the correct way!

Also, it is not mentioned anywhere that is easily found by somebody who has not been spending half of his/her life hanging around this forum.
Specifically, it is not in user guide nor FAQ (in Wiki).

Untested patch that might fix fresh install issue.

Took a lot longer than I would have guess to find the likely fix location.

Feel free to use this patch without using my name.

And, feel free to update the FAQs

Ok, thanks, it solved the problem!

However, I must ask, are you guys kidding?!? This ticket was marked as fixed, meaning that the user is assumed to somehow know to change a mystical parameter "Technology" from somewhere in settings to be able to use different displays
