Title: Fresh Install of Code::Blocks - Notes;
Post by: WardXmodem on May 13, 2013, 12:19:53 am

Having spent WAAAY too many hours on a Code::Blocks + wxWidgets installation, without ever getting a clean wxw compile, I decided to uninstall Code::Blocks and uninstall wxWidgets, and start over.

• Uninstall of Code::Blocks apparently doesn't clean up enough - the new install to D: pointed to a non-existant directory on c: that USED to be the location of the compiler. - I don't believe I missed a step about erasing things when uninstalling, as I was wanting to "start fresh".
• COMPILING
  
  • "compilergcc.cpp" in line 2412, says to go to settings "compiler and debugger..." but in fact those settings are separate; The above inadequate install meant I had to go to compiler settings and change the pointer to the compiler, in my case from C: to D:.
  • Old: _T("Goto \"Settings->Compiler and debugger...->Global compiler settings->%s->Toolchain executables\"")
  • New: _T("Goto \"Settings->Compiler->Global compiler settings->%s->Toolchain executables\"")
    
• SOURCE
  
  • The readme says "This is the Code::Blocks IDE version 10.05-HEAD", however I downloaded, and it installed as "codeblocks-12.11release8629"

There is no modern software that cleans the user files (config) when the software is uninstalled.
You have to delete the config files manually.
They are in ~/.codeblocks or %APPDATA%/codeblocks, depending on the OS.
