[*]Windows XP SP3 (probably why it doesn't work ?)

[*]CodeLite-1.0.2013.exe

I tried to redirect CodeLite to use the MingW that come with CodeBlocks, and it worked, I gues you are right, it's MingW installation problem, it still weird tho, since I'm in XP, maybe the MingW installer not compatible :?: :roll:
I think this is because the default install of CodeLite has the 'Build tool' Hard coded to a path. So you should follow this step:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpack ... e?download

Once installation is complete, go to menu: 'Settings -> Environment Variables...'

Create new entry:

Name: PATH
Value: $(PATH);<path/to/mingw4/bin>
Then remove the path in 'Settings->Build Settings->Build Systems-> Build tool:' and place

Code: Select all

mingw32-make.exe
in its place.

Let me know if this helps.

Yes it does ! :oops:
Thank you, I previously try using the TDM release, and it worked but I dislike that it download stuff even though I already download the bundled installer :| , so the wxPack release is more comfortable to use, thanks again, also I'm a big fan of wxPack 8-) (CMIIW you maintain it ? aside of wxFormbuilder too :?: )

Great. Maybe Eran can fix CodeLite to not hardcode that path.
