Just make sure that whichever client you install has its executable in your PATH. However, if you do not wish to have the TortoiseSVN Explorer extensions in your right-click context menu or just don't feel a need for a graphical client in particular then you can use another: SVN command-line client equally well.

TortoiseSVN includes optional command-line client tools, which you should install as they provide a command-line SVN client. An example would be TortoiseSVN if you would like an all-in-one SVN solution. 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. 4.7 Compile contributed (or your own) plugins.
