CodeLite IDE

Is it possible to generate and debug MinGW-w64 applications?
How do I set this up.

The new AMD OpenCL 2.0 only works with 64 bit programs and I was looking to go 64 bit anyway.
I'd rather stick with Codelite WxWidgets and MinGW.

Is it just a matter of installing MinGW-w64 and configuring a compiler?

Note I'm not asking for Codelite to be 64 bits. Only to be able to create and debug 64 bit applications.

Yes

Install it and let codelite detect it from: settings->build settings->compilers->Add compilers->scan computer for installed compilers
If codelite does not auto-detect it, you can help it a bit by pointing codelite to the "bin" folder of your compiler from:
settings->build settings->compilers->Add compilers->add an existing compiler

Next, open your project settings and change the compiler from: project settings->common settings->general->compiler
and select your 64bit compiler

In the newly added toolchain, you should also add the proper gdb (I don't think that codelite does that by default...)

Correct. This was my issue in another thread. However, I'm still getting an odd 64-bit error and I don't understand its cause.

This is fixed in git head, i.e. codelite will also pick the proper gdb executable and will use it

Thank you for the 64 bit windows version of Codelite
It's fantastic.
I now have my project running in 64 bits (TDM-GCC) with OpenCL 2.0 (AMD only supports as 64 bit at the moment).

I really appreciate your efforts Eran. Codelite just gets better and better.
