Title: Unofficial Code::Blocks installer for Windows (svn 10408)
Post by: ptDev on September 02, 2010, 05:08:35 pm
UPDATE: Updated to svn revision 10408.

This build of Code::Blocks still is compiled using the newly released TDM-GCC 5.1.0 and wxWidgets 2.8.12.
In the near future, wxWidgets 3.x will be used.

Download link (http://sourceforge.net/projects/unoffcbinst/files/cb-svn10408-setup.exe/download) (Sourceforge).

This installer is *not* an official release, nor is the provided Code::Blocks version expected to be as thouroughly tested as the "nightly builds" the Code::Blocks Team provides us with.
It does, however, include a few experimental plugins and patches that might not otherwise be tried out by more users.

Use this simple to use installer to promote Code::Blocks among your peers!

Highlights:
         - cbDiff
        - CodePaste
        - CompileOnDemand
        - ColorCoder
        - ListToolbox
        - UUID Generator
        - XPMEditor
         - Patch #3309: Add "Close all project files" menu option in selected project (by alatar_)
        - Patch #3237: Automatic escape sequences when inside a string (by Alpha).

Changes to installer

Disclaimer: This installer contains binaries of unstable versions of Code::Blocks and its tools and plugins, and is not endorsed by the Code::Blocks Team themselves, so any incorrect behaviour you may find therein should be tested for in the official release and nightly versions before you decide to report any bugs.[/list]

Download link (http://www.mediafire.com/file/8y2g587agl57na1/cb-svn6564-setup.rar) (setup program inside a .rar archive)
That's a good attempt, however, to comply with GPL you should really add the source code you've used, too.

I have merely compiled the source code from the trunk, unchanged. Perhaps a link to the svn source (or the forum thread where I downloaded the source, in the case of cbDiff) would suffice?

A link should be enough for sources cobvered by GPL v3 (as C::B is).

You have to give detailed information where to find the sources and how to build the binaries from it.

Are you sure, that all sources are GPL v3 sources (or similar) ?
Otherwise you should check the licenses for the sources carefully

I confirm that XPMEditor is GPL v3 (I have indicated it in the XML Manifest file of the plugin).
For the 3 other plugins, I do not know.

It's generally not a good idea to mix the official nightly builds with these installations, as the binaries are not compatible.
If you are thinking of combining additional plugins with the nightly, it is better to checkout from the svn server and compile everything from the beginning.

And I suggest:
1, maybe, you can add portable c::b, see :http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,10360.msg93976.html#msg93976
2, maybe, you can host the package in Google project host site, or other site, the current site need to wait for at least 30 seconds is not so good as I see.

BTW:
I just find in the log:(I install this package under E:\CodeBlocks)
Quote
SpellChecker: Thesaurus files 'E:\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\SpellChecker\th_en_US.idx' not found!

Also, to let it use portable way, I think the path here:
File:ConfigureSpellChecker.png (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=File:ConfigureSpellChecker.png)

can be configured by:
something like:
$(XXXX)\share\CodeBlocks\SpellChecker\th_en_US.idx

note the XXXX can be a C::B's script variable. :D

Thank you for the encouragement! :)

I'll open a project page in Google Code, and upload my inno setup script there, along with the setup file. Maybe you could make use of the script for your nightly builds?

I'll look into the possibility of an option for a portable installation too.

I ommited *.idx files to reduce installer size. If you consider them essential to the spellchecker, I can include them, or even more languages, in a future release.

We had just switched away from InnoSetup towards NSIS for the ease of creating a flexible installer. I doubt that we will switch back again.

Question of mine: Why didn't you choose NSIS in the first place by adopting the existing installer for the releases?

See: http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/codeblocks/setup (http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/codeblocks/setup), namely the file setup.nsi.

I didn't know you had moved to NSIS. I chose Inno Setup from a habit of making simple installers for my backups a while ago, and remember seeing the inno script in the svn a while ago, so I considered it logical to stick with Inno at the time.

I'll need to learn nsis scripting, but if like you say, it is better for setting setup options, then it will be worth the extra effort.
UPDATE: Indeed it is. I can understand NSIS scripting, and am in the process of adapting the official installer. :)

EDIT: Files are now hosted in Google Code. The download link was updated accordingly.

Just commited (http://code.google.com/p/codeblocks-unofficial-installer-win32/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk) :)

While adapting the script, I made very few changes:

*Updated the NSIS plugin Modern UI to mui2.nsh (more flexible).
*Added a question in the end of the uninstallation, asking the user if he wishes to delete the application data.
*Added Abbreviations plugin, it seemed to be missing from the release installer.
*Updated installed files and available plugins to match nightly builds. Notably, wxscintilla is now compiled statically and wxpropgrid is an sdk dependency.
*Added the extra plugins: cbDiff, ColorCoder, FileManager, PowerShell, SpellChecker, XPMEditor.

Hope you find this useful.

Congratulations ptDev, your installers should be featured on main site to promote CodeBlocks. Not everybody checks the forums for the nightlys, and people nowadays care about up to date software, but they prefer installation to binary-only, and these installers keep it simple.

If this is correct then maybe you can figure out why the FileManager crashes when I navigate into a deeper path in the "Files" tab.

Hi.

Very few changes actually were necessary to get everything to compile and work together. Code::Blocks is a very stable program IMHO.

First thing to take into account: my binaries are not compatible with the Code::Blocks Team binaries: they use wxWidgets 2.8.10, and I use wxWidgets 2.8.11. There are a few notable differences that were noticed while testing - part of the reason why 2.8.11 wasn't adopted by the official developers yet.

I only undefined WX_PRECOMP in order to compile cbDiff, and changed the placing of the option in the File menu. Not a big deal, though maybe I should warn the author about this.
I also made a minor change that has zero impact on SpellChecker functionality: I changed the default dictionary to en_US (to match the bundled dictionaries). Hardly worth a patch IMHO.

FileManager, as it so happens, was not changed at all, so I'm not certain of how I may have caused the runtime crash.

EDIT: I tried it on my setup and could cause a crash, but I think it's FileManager related. Which path (which kind of files, and with what permissions) were you trying to navigate to?

If you could take the time to build the svn trunk and FileManager yourself, test it in a setup that is closer to what is used for the nightly builds, and confirm the crash, then we should contact the FileManager author. There are helpful links in the installer disclaimer.

You already can safely re-run the installer to install additional plugins. Uninstalling just some components through the installer is not supported. For this purpose you either simply disable/uninstall/delete the plugins you don't like from within C::B or uninstall C:B completely (the config will be kept, if not portable) and the re-install.

That's the way I currently use, but if the installer program can add/delete plugins, it will be more satisfied. :D

Again: Adding plugins is already possible. The ability to remove plugins through the installer sounds a bit weird to me. In the end it's an installer and not an un-installer and you have the ability through C::B itself. So why would you need another tool for that purpose? I mean, even if we do this, how many user would actually make use of such function?
Title: Re: Unofficial Windows installer for Code::Blocks SVN 6940
Post by: ptDev on January 28, 2011, 06:13:39 pm
I think ollydbg is referring to having "Modify" or "Repair" functionality in the installer. NSIS does not provide this by default, though. I read in a few wikis/forums that this is not evident to implement and requires some advanced script trickery (for example, you need to allow deletion of files in the background, etc.).

Having said that, it is indeed sufficient either to uninstall certain plugins from within Code::Blocks, or install while overwriting an existing installation (existing files, as well as registry keys, are overwritten).

That was quick :)

EDIT: I tried it on my setup and could cause a crash, but I think it's FileManager related. Which path (which kind of files, and with what permissions) were you trying to navigate to?

As the author, I'd like to hear more about this. I haven't had a crash in a while, but it's probably not that hard to make it fall over in its present state.

It was a rare occurence, and I couldn't repeat it for the last couple of times I updated the installer. According to the first user who reported the crash, it seemed to happen while navigating into a "deep" path. I could only notice such a crash once while trying to confirm it, but found myself unable to reproduce it. Still, I thought that might have been related to permissions or trying to access remote folders. Also, the binaries provided in the unofficial installer are not compatible with the official ones, so this should be kept in mind (changes to wx2.8.11 in runtime behavior could cause crashes).

Nice to know those graphics are of use :).

Glad you approve :). It really belongs there, IMHO.

You also have alternate resources for the scripted wizard and source file icons? I only found the application and project file icon in the thread I link to on the top of this one. That is where I downloaded the source files from. Otherwise, I will try to reproduce the wizard banners (and other missed icons) with your new logo.

Next, on my list of big changes, are replicating the C::B installer using WiX instead of NSIS (it should be a bit more robust, and allow interesting things like maintenance mode) and actually getting a stable (not crashing) build using wxWidgets 2.9.3. :)

Two question about this installer
1, where is the "exchndl.dll"? This dll is used to generate the crash callstack
2, I see the size of wxmsw28u_gcc_471tdm.dll is about 2.5M. The official wxmsw28u_gcc_cb.dll build with tdm gcc 452 is about 6.5M, why there the dll build from gcc 4.7.1 is much smaller? optimization of gcc 471?

I must have forgotten to re-include it when I rebuilt everything. I will add it back for the next revision.

I compress the main executable and a few DLLs with UPX. The performance cost is very small (UPX now does the decompression in-place), and it helps to keep the disk usage lower.

The size of the DLLs GCC 4.7.1 produces varies somewhat when comparing to 4.6.1. Sometimes they are smaller, other times larger. But never by half of the size, as far as I can tell.

It appears the most recent update to rev 8585 did not change the installer to follow the renaming of ***SmartIndent plugins to SmartIndent*** plugins.  Copies of an older build of the pre-renamed plugins are bundled, which, of course do not load due to sdk mismatch.

I didn't see any mention of the renaming of the SmartIndent plugins in the svn log. On top of that, I did for once a partial build rather than a rebuild, which together with an out of date NSIS script allowed this blunder to happen.

I did find it strange that after wxSTC was checked in, no additional modules were getting built in the workspace, but then I forgot about this after a while. I'll see if it was a simple oversight. That being the case, I could make a patch.

Well wx 3.0 promises some nice improvements, such as cleaner string handling, GTK+ 3 and Cocoa ports and seems generally cleaner and bugproofed (if such thing ever existed). Maybe I'm just overexcited.

Hm, bugproof is a bold claim, in fact C::B runs way worse with wx2.9 than wx2.8.
The really interesting version (if everything goes to plan of course) will be 3.2, there we'll have the feature to move aui windows between notebooks, which is one really needed feature in C::B.

Indeed, it may be too soon to release binaries using wx3.0... unless sufficient testing deems such a build stable enough.
