CodeLite IDE

Are there some complete installation instructions I've been unable to find? Getting CodeLite (v2.10.0.4778) to work on WindowsXP has not been intuitive.
I installed CodeLite along with MinGW and UnitTest++ all directly off C: instead of using "Program Files".

I have tried to use UnitTest++ two different ways and they both fail the same way. One is as a managed g++ console application, and the other is as a managed UnitTest++ project. First, they failed to find the UnitTest++ library, so I realized I need to build the library first, entered the UnitTest++ directory, and typed "make". It's using gnu make 3.81, which is what I got with my recent installation of cygwin. I got the library, but the tests failed to build because "error: `strcpy' is not a member of `std'

First, do I need to use a more recent version of gcc? If so how do I get it?

So now I have the library and tell the projects' Common Settings | Linker where to find the library and the library name. The build failed because it did not recognize mingw32-make.exe as a valid command, so I added that path to the system path manually. Now, when I try to build, I get errors like this:
C:/UnitTest++-1.3/libUnitTest++./a(TestRunner.o): In function `MemoryOutStream`:
/cygdrive/c/UnitTest++-1.3/src/MemoryOutStream.h:16: undefined reference to `_Unwind_Resume'

Perhaps this is related to the way I built the library? When I try to invoke make from the Windows command prompt, it wants to use gnu make 3.8.0 (from UnixUtils) and it fails when trying to use sed.exe.

You are mixing cygwin and MinGW this is why it does not work for you

codelite was meant to work with MinGW and not with Cygwin (it can work with cygwin, but with some tweaks)

How do I untangle CodeLite from cygwin? I assume CodeLite is trying to use cygwin because I built the UnitTest++ library using cygwin, and that if I build the library from the cmd prompt it'll fix this problem. I used cygwin because trying to build from the C:\> cmd prompt did not work.
It looks like the above is trying to use make in UnixUtils. I am also unsuccessful when trying to use mingw32-make explicitly: Could it be that the installer would normally install MSYS make.exe and sed.exe, but detected them in UnixUtils and so didn't install them? If that's the case I could uninstall UnixUtils, install MSYS, and try again.

It also doesn't have sed, which the UnitTest++ makefile requires. Should those have been installed along with MinGW, or is it assumed I will also install MSYS separately? It seems the make.exe in UnixUtils can't handle the job:

If you installed the UnitTest++1.3 that comes with codelite, you will find a codelite workspace there:
UnitTest++_Windows.workspace

Just open it with codelite and build it. The workspace comes with two configurations: Debug and Release both will produce a static library

Ah, that did it, thank you. I hadn't noticed the UnitTest++ workspace.
