General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Sharing one Code::Blocks setup across a C++ study group
« Last post by KyleKen94 on Yesterday at 06:46:54 pm »Hi all,
I help run a small online study group for students learning C and C++, about 500 people now, and almost all of them use Code::Blocks on Windows with the bundled MinGW.
The most common problem we see is the first build failing: wrong compiler path after an update, or a project created as a single file instead of a console project. We are thinking of sharing one zipped project template plus a short checklist (Settings > Compiler > Toolchain executables, then build a Hello World before anything else).
Two questions for people who teach with Code::Blocks:
1. Is a .cbp template the best way to share settings, or do you export the compiler config instead?
2. Do you point newcomers to the nightly builds or keep everyone on the stable release?
Side note: most of our members arrive through a few regulars who invite classmates and then sit with them through that first build. We added a simple invite tracker to our chat to thank those helpers, and it is nice to see the same names that answer the setup questions at the top.
Thanks for any tips.

Nightly builds / Re: The 07 October 2026 build (14050) is out.
« Last post by ThierryD on Yesterday at 02:43:22 pm »Hi Xaviou,
I test this last nigthly on Ubuntu 26.04 into WSL on W11 26H2 64 bit.
Launch of CB is correct (with version 14050).
Click on "New Project" open new window but with no choose "category" of project, and nothing proposition about another items : target, files, etc...
What's wrong ?
Thank.
Regards.

32 bits version for Windows (and also 64 bits version) can be downloaded from my website.
I made both a wxWidgets-3.2.11 and wxWidgets-3.3.3 linked versions
Debian Trixie (64 bits) and Bookworm (32 and 64 bits) can be installed from my repo
The corresponding unsigned deb files can also be downloaded from the website page linked above.
Ubuntu-22.04, 24.04 and 26.04 versions can be installed from my ppa (they are available for both amd64 and arm64 architectures).

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Re: missing highlight c++ keywords and distro updates
« Last post by Queed2004 on October 08, 2026, 11:02:38 am »Hi, thanks for pointing this out. I agree that keeping the C++ keyword list and syntax highlighting up to date would be helpful. You could report the missing keywords with the specific additions you made, so the developers can review and include them in a future release. More frequent stable releases could also make these improvements available to users sooner.

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Is there something wrong?
« Last post by Anorthems on October 08, 2026, 06:41:00 am »When I try and set up for a new project, the IDE asks "which language" and Fortran isn't listed, only C and C++, whereas in a later frame "Fortran" is shown as the compiler. Can you explain why this is so? Is there something wrong?
