Code::Blocks again

hi all,

I'm not shure if it is answered already. Searched the forum for "code::blocks compile" and found lots and lots of threads but non about what I want.

I know how to create a simple project in code::blocks. Simply click the template and voila.

I also can follow a tutorial to have it compile with visual toolkit 2003.

But there is no step by step guide to create a project in code::blocks for minGW. Except for the template file.

Can sombody please post the steps to create this template file manualy?

I tried to figure out how I could use the irrwizz projects but get lots of compile and link errors. I did lots of changes but I can't get through all. Now I'm at the sound library's.

So what do a place int he build properties in codeblocks? If I use minGW.

Or should I just step to DEV-C++? (I like code::blocks interface)

Tanks in advance

Well, I don't know where the problem could be...

It should be the same way as for the MSToolkit !!!
The only difference should be the selection of the compiler...
Maybe if the libs are linked by pragma statements you'll have to change this...
So, simply create an empty console project, open the project's properties page and link to the needed libs and includes...

And yes, C::B is great and much better than Dev !!!

I can't stress this fact enough!

So many users continue to use Dev-C++ because it is, from their point of view "Easy to use, nice interface, great devpaks, irrlicht devpak availble, gcc included." Well, to correct some users here, C::B supports devpaks, C::B can have an unlimited number of compiler configurations, C::B comes with a WYSIWYG gui designer for wxWidgets, C::B has an easy-to-use wizard setup for projects for different apis(Irrlicht included), C::B is flexible because of its plugin-based system, C::B supports different "modes" for any one project, C::B supports code profiler and code beatifier... The list goes on. Basically, Dev-C++ is for all the newbs in C++!
