If you are a absolute beginner in programming skip this part and go to Code::Blocks Sources. It is recommended, but not required, that you install a SVN client. Make sure zip.exe is in your PATH as it is used both during the compilation in your current version of Code::Blocks and also by the update.bat script. The recommended one can be found on the: Development Tools page. You will need a command-line zip.exe program. ZIP and SVN functions are not required to run Code::Blocks but ZIP is required to build it and a SVN client is strongly recommended but not absolutely necessary. WxWidgets is the ' graphical user interface toolkit' that Code::Blocks is built on top of.įor information about wxWidgets, see their official site ➡ You will need a complete, working: MinGW installation. It will be paired with a MinGW compiler in the next item.Īt the present time, Code::Blocks only compiles successfully with a MinGW compiler toolchain on Windows. A: Nightly Build is a good candidate to use. When that version is proven to function correctly it is used to compile the next, and so on.Ī properly working Code::Blocks is required to compile the next SVN version. The build process described on this page is a kind of ' Self-Hosting.' You use an existing version of Code::Blocks to compile the next version.
