CodeLite IDE

Thank you Eran, I am really looking forward to start using codelight.

I am downloading the files from the links, and in the meantime also uninstalling what I had. Codelite is uninstalled, including %appdata%\CodeLite and the old codelite folder deleted. However, just in case I am about to make another mistake, I cannot find anything to uninstall for wxCrafter. I do not seen it in add/remove programs, and don't see any folders with that name. Is that ok?

...
I finished the new installation, but there is still a problem somewhere. Below is the "HelloWorld" build information from OutputView->Build. My environment variables are:

CodeLiteDir=C:\Program Files\CodeLite
WXWIN=C:\wxWidgets-2.9.4
PATH=$(WXWIN)\lib\gcc_dll;$(PATH)
WXCFG=gcc_dll\mswu
UNIT_TEST_PP_SRC_DIR=C:\UnitTest++-1.3

Build output:

It should be in the add/remove programs (Windows 7 here)

Your problem is that you have created your workspace in a folder with a space in its paths.
MinGW (especially windres.exe) does not like spaces in the path
Try creating the project elsewhere (e.g. C:\src )

Thank you Eran, HelloWorld now compiles and runs. I receive one warning:

windres -i "C:/CodeLiteProjects/wxHelloWorld/win_resources.rc" --use-temp-file --define __WXMSW__ --define _UNICODE --include-dir C:\wxWidgets-2.9.4\lib\gcc_dll\mswu --include-dir C:\wxWidgets-2.9.4\include --define WXUSINGDLL -o ./Debug/win_resources.rc.o

windres: warning: 24: 1: 1033: duplicate value

Now that I have everything set up correctly (or maybe almost) I checked add/remove programs to see if wxCrafter was there, and it is. Maybe I just didn't notice it before, or maybe when uninstalling Codelite it also uninstalled wxCrafter? No matter... All is working.

Thanks Eran!

This is a bug in wx.rc file. win_resources.rc simply includes wx.rc file

No. You should have both entries in Add/Remove Programs

Thank you Eran. I'm looking forward to moving some of my DevC++ widgets projects over to Codelite.
It's remarkable that you, apparently as a one man institution, can still take the time to answer beginners' questions. Much appreciated.
