[OT] tools needed to build CodeLite from source

[HJarausch]

Hi, I have next to no experience in building source packages under MinGW
(though I have been building packages from source on Linux (GenToo) for many years, now)

What tools do I need to build (e.g. configure,...) CodeLite from source (SVN) on Windows/MinGW.

Many thanks for some links or hints,
Helmut.

Just download codelite with mingw + wx from here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/codeli ... e/download

Checkout codelite sources, once you obtained the sources, open the workspace included in codelite sources:
LiteEditor.workspace, hit F7 and thats it.

After build is done, run the update.bat script located at: codelite-sources/Runtime/update.bat to update your installation with the updated codelite

Hi, I did all the necessary steps. It compiled fine, but failed to update.
The update.bat said it has a problem and asked me if some file(cant remember the name ... xml.default something) is a F file or D dir. I flipped a coin and answered 'a file'.

It ran and disappeared (as usual), but CL is still 2.2.0.3681.

I ran the bat gain in cmd the output was:

What are my options now?

- To reset the updating?

- To update manually?

- How to run from the compiled exe?

Thanks

Just open the file update.bat (it is a very simple script)
and change the destination location of codelite.

By default, it will attempt to copy the files into "%ProgramFiles%\CodeLite"

Which means, (in most cases): C:\Program Files\CodeLite

If you installed codelite into a different directory - change it.

Also: to run the update.bat script, you need to run it from within the 'Runtime' directory

Yep, that was it, thanks.
