Either way we'll need to setup up some stuff. It may or may not automatically detect the compiler. Once they're installed open up codeblocks.

It includes the x86 files.įrom here I create a folder in my main drive 'Codeblocks and GCC' I'm going to cover this fairly quickly.įirst, you'll need to download a codeblocks nightly build: Now the guide Given the very few guides available to teach people how to setup their own Codeblocks that supports the latest revisions of C++. I use GCC given it's support and it appears to be the most quickly updated compiler.

That helps to address problems it may have with other compilers not too mention it's own issues. While Codeblocks releases 1-2 builds every single month. There's no excuse for that from such a large company. I've noticed that it takes them 'far' longer to get support for updates in a programming language.

VS is restricted to specific compilers, Microsoft or an Intel one. After a while I've slowly realized that VS just doesn't have the support CB does. To me Codeblocks felt very clunky and unclean. First, I rant The go to method for me at first was visual studio.
