I, like freddie, use batch files for both VC++ and the NUWEN distro
1. NUWEN it is not an upgrade.
2. If it was installed as part of the code::blocks installation and you are not going to use code::blocks
NO
3. For the NUWEN distro make sure you do not have a current C:\MinGW directory. If so rename it for now.
Run the NUWEN setup and rename the MinGW it creates. I renamed it to C:\Nuwen-14.0
If you had and renamed your mingw you can change it back now.
4. It's your choice on downloads. I already had git installed so I di not need the NUWEN git version.
If you plan on using git in your code development then by all means get the git version.
I have no idea how to use code::blocks without it's included mingw compiler.
As I use several different mingw compilers I NEVER set the path in the environment. If you have remove it.
This is my nuwen g++ batch file. As I said I use several different versions of MinGW g++ so it has provisions for both 32 and 64 bit compiles. The NUWEN distro is 64bit only so don't let that throw you.
It is also for Vista+
You need to set the environment variable NUWEN64 to your NUWEN distro before calling this batch file:
In my case:
SET NUWEN64=C:\Nuwen-14.0
Usage: NUWENGPP.BAT inputfile[no extension cpp assumed] -m64 [CON GUI DLL OBJ] ExtraFile1 ExtraFile2
Note: ExtraFiles can be .a (import or static libraries) and .o (objectfiles)
It will also compile and add a resource file to the exe if the resource file has the same base name as the c++ file.
