MinGW-Builds can be found: Here (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/) in either "Toolchains targetting Win32/64" and then "Personal Builds" and "mingw-builds" then 5.2.0 and then your threading and exception preferences.
To build Code::Blocks from SVN, you generally follow the instructions: Here (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Windows).
The problem is that with MinGW-Builds 5.2.0 the compilation will fail while building wxWidgets 2.8.12. Just fail. Goodbye, try again.
I have been dealing with this issue, and as a result have had to use the provided nightlies for quite the while, but now after much persistence I have found the solution.
See: Here (http://sourceforge.net/p/tdm-gcc/bugs/269/).
In the file: \path\to\mingw32\i686-w64-mingw32\include\commctrl.h
(Or 64 bit 5.2.0: \path\to\mingw64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include\commctrl.h)
Find the _WIN32_IE 0x0501 definition block and make it look exactly like this:
ifndef WINRESRC
ifndef _WIN32_IE
//#define _WIN32_IE 0x0501
endif
endif
#define _WIN32_IE 0x0603
Now, wxWidgets on MinGW-Builds 5.2.0 will compile and then you can move onto compiling Code::Blocks itself. And there was much rejoicing. :)
You can even build wxWidgets in 64 bit (using "CFG=64" on its build line) MinGW 5.2.0 BUT there is no 64 bit vanilla project in the Code::Blocks source to go from there.
I used these exact lines in config.gcc for wxWidgets:
# Standard flags for CC
CFLAGS ?= -fno-keep-inline-dllexport
# Standard flags for C++
CXXFLAGS ?= -fno-keep-inline-dllexport -std=gnu++11 -fpermissive
I'm pretty happy now, the only thing that could make things even better is if a 64 bit codeblocks.cbp project was added to the trunk source so I could go full 64 bit with everything. ;) :)
# Standard flags for CC
CFLAGS ?= -fno-keep-inline-dllexport
# Standard flags for C++
CXXFLAGS ?= -fno-keep-inline-dllexport -std=gnu++11 -fpermissive
Why don't you expand this to:
# Standard flags for CC
CFLAGS ?= -D_WIN32_IE=0x0603 -fno-keep-inline-dllexport
# Standard flags for C++
CXXFLAGS ?= -D_WIN32_IE=0x0603 -fno-keep-inline-dllexport -std=gnu++11 -fpermissive
This would avoid to patch the source files.
Found the root cause and some issues in the latest SVN.
First of all, SVN 10625 errors when compiling with wx 3.0.2:

Going back to SVN 10623 compiling with wx 3.0.2 succeeds.
Now, I found the fix for the issue. wxWidgets 3.0.2 has to be build with the CFG=64 option:
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc CFG=64 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1
Also, in config.gcc I did no keep inline and -std=gnu++11
And then the codeblocks wx 3.0.x 64 bit project -> build options -> custom variables, WX_CFG has to be given to value "64"
Then the project will compile fine and most importantly, the cursor caret in the editor window now works correctly.
