Update CodeLite

Post by Fred »

Thanks for providing update 4.1.5770.
I have installed the prebuilt CodeLite 4.0.5589, MinGW 4.6.1 and wxWidges 2.9.4 for Windows.
What installer file should I use for updating, new CL with MinGW and wxWidges?
Is it ok to run the update without uninstalling the old version, just start the installer exe?
Thanks,
Fred

I used codelite-4.1.5770.exe without uninstall previous version without any problem.
(it is surely not the cleanest way, but it works).

If you are using the wxWidgets library that I provide, then I encourage you to uninstall codelite and then install the package with wx-mingw from sourceforge.

This is because codelite now comes with wxWidgets built as *multilib* and not monolithic

After installing codelite, please replace your wx-config.exe (it is under C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeLite\) with this one

If you prefer staying with wxWidgets built as monolithic, install the package that comes with mingw only (also a must, since codelite's makefiles must use a newer version of mingw32-make.exe)

Thank you for your replies.
I did as Eran recommended, deinstalled and updated without problems.
I also saved my own templates before, but this was not necessary, as they were not deleted during the deinstallation.
Regards,
Fred
