Feature request-pacage manager for instaling compilers & lib

Post by cstudio »

I'm not good in setting up compilers and adding non-standard libraries to compilers.
So I'm wondering if you could add package manger to Code Lite which will the same as in Linux install and configure additional software.

I will download normal Code Lite installation and install it on windows. At first run Code Lite will say that I don't have any compiler installed and will open package manger in which I will choose which compiler to install.
When I create project I will have to choose which compiler and libraries I want to use for this project. So any missing libraries or compilers will automatically download and install in Code Lite.

compilers and libraries are out of the scope for codelite.
codelite is an IDE not an OS or package manager.

I only provide the tool to use the libraries - you should also note that codelite is *not* a compiler.

As a courtesy to WIndows users, I usually provide 3 installers:
1. The IDE only, no additional tools
2. option 1 + compiler (g++ / MinGW / gdb)
3. option 2 + wxWidgets framework compiled as monolithic DLL for debug / release.

Other than that, codelite will not handle any packages.
There are some package managers that you should try:
1) mingw-get for Windows
2) apt-get / aptitude for Debian base Linuxs
3) yum for RedHat based Linuxs
