Title: Having trouble with nightly builds
Post by: cprgmswr2 on January 09, 2006, 03:24:52 am

I have recently downloaded one of the nightly builds, specifically the one for Jan 08, 2006. I am not sure if something is wrong but when I extract the folder all I get is codeblock.exe, console_runner.exe and 4 other DLLS I copied that to the CodeBlocks RC2 Build and when I try to run the program it comes up with a ton of dll errors and then crashes. I think I am doing something wrong. How am I suppose to install and use the nightly builds?

Note: I did copy over the new DLL "wxmsw26u_gcc_cb.dll" an addition to the other files but still having the same problem

there's also a share directory in the 7z zip file !!!

Easiest thing to do, Is to manually install MingW (I am talking Windows here, check the wiki on how to do that), for example in C:\MingW. So you have the compiler and other tools seperate from CB (in RC2 they are in in a subdir of CB, if you downloaded the package including MingW).
And then it is as easy as extract the nightly in some directory, copy in the wx dll, and you are ready to go, CB will detect MingW and off you go.

What I do and it works (or it seems so :)) is to copy the minGW from RC2 to the nightly build. This is a fast solution, but it has the disadvantage (at least in my configuration) that Ceniza's GCC 4.1.0 binary snapshot for MinGW (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=1739.0) does not work.

But it's so simple to install:

Grab those files under Base System and extract all to c:\MinGW (or any other path you wish).  Then run the gdb installer exe and let it install to the same dir.

Yes, I agree :). And it is probably what I would do if I do not have already an installed version of MYSYS/MinGW. MinGW is older than the one that come with C::B RC2. Sometimes ago, I tried to update MinGW, but got problems with it. Therefore, I find for the moment, easier and faster to copy&paste the MinGW of RC2. When I will have more free time, I will re-try to install a separate MinGW.
