Code Blocks is an excellent programming option for C. It consists of an open source, multiplatform integrated development environment that supports using multiple compilers, among which are: GCC (MingW / GNU GCC), MSVC, Digital Mars, Borland C 5.5 and Open Watcom. The default compiler that this Code Blocks package comes with is MinGW. Hello everybody, I am trying to configure 'CodeBlocks nightly build' to use minGW and GDB 1.7. I downloaded all the necessary files: 1- CodeBlocks nightly build. One of the great benefits of using Code::Block is that it is super easy to switch between compilers. In this blog, it shows how to add MinGW-w64 (GNU for Windows) to code blog and use it to compile a 64-bit program. Install MINGW64. Download and install MinGW-w64. Ni multisim 10.1 serial number. Assume that you install it under C: mingw64. Set up compiler. Open Code::Block. Click Mingw-w64 to download the Windows Mingw-w64 installer. Run the installer. For Architecture select x8664 and then select Next. Next again to use the default installation folder and install MinGW. Add the path to your Mingw-w64 bin folder to the Windows PATH environment variable by using the following steps. Download: Download Code::Blocks - MinGW 20.3.

Code::Blocks Editor's Review

Code::Blocks is an independent developer environment (IDE) for producing applications in C++.
Code::Blocks' main claim to fame is its versatility. It's been designed with extensibility in mind, supporting full configuration. Code::Blocks accomplishes this by a modular design -- the whole application is made largely from plug-ins. Existing plug-ins handle even its core programming functions -- for example, compiling and debugging are both handled by plug-ins. This structure means that almost any functionality you can imagine can be handled by a suitable plug-in module. A wide range of different plug-ins already exist; you can also code your own using Code::Blocks' own plug-in creation wizard. This gives a tremendous amount of cohesiveness across different applications.
The interface is clear, intuitive and simple to use, so even if you're a novice at coding in C++ you will soon get the hang of Code::Blocks. The program has a number of useful, time saving features that make coding a lot less stressful. For example, colour changes in your code make spotting errors very easy, so you can correct them before you compile. Code completion and indentation is excellent, requiring only minimal configuration.
Code::Blocks is not really as stable as, say, Visual Studio. Having said that, minor instability is a small price to pay for the software's excellent features.
One thing I'd add to my Code::Blocks wishlist would be a C++ tutorial, since it's ideal for a novice.
Pros: Modular, adaptable, slick interface.
Cons: Some stability issues.
Conclusion: A great free C++ IDE.

A little Info on Glut32 and FreeGlut

The original Glut32 written by Mark Kilgard was ported over by Nate Robins. And you can get the ported Glut32 Binaries if you want to see it.

NOTE : The latest version of the Glut32 library is 3.7.6 ( Dated Nov 8, 2001 )

This is the freeglut download links.

Code Blocks 10.05 Mingw Free Download

in that link you will see the title : Prepackaged Releases and the first link takes you to the binaries to be downloaded on this link

Its in there where you will see the MinGW download package that Is described in this tutorial.( NOTE : Latest Binary release is dated May 11th 2013 known as Martin Payne's Windows binaries. )

Download freeglut 2.8.1‑1 for MinGW --------> freeglut-MinGW-2.8.1-1.mp.zip

This was in reference to Windows and Linux packages according to their website.

When Glut32 was ported over it stopped being updated in 2001. So some folks decided to recreate it and named it FreeGlut. The interesting part is freeGlut and Glut32 can be installed just about the same way for Code::Blocks, with the exception that you would not have to edit the two scripts if your installing Glut32. FreeGlut and Glut32 are a set of functions for use with OpenGL. It has made graphic software a little easier to code when it comes to programming OpenGL with 3D in mind.

Operating System Info

This tutorial was demonstrated to work under as well as assumes that your using Microsoft Windows 7 64-Bit. However, it should work on any windows system ( as long as Code::Blocks and OpenGL are supported on that Operating System ) as well as Linux. In this tutorial you will see the path reference as the 64-Bit style of the folder ( x86 ).

An example of what I mean is : C:Program Files (x86)CodeBlocks

On a 32-Bit Windows system you will see it as : C:Program FilesCodeBlocks

Notice the ( x86 ) is missing.

EDIT ( December 4th 2011 ) : Because I am constantly being asked why they cannot see the files to edit that I listed below, well keep in mind its about file extensions that are hidden. You can change your extensions to show up in your Windows Explorer ORGANIZE. So its ORGANIZE --> FOLDER AND SEARCH OPTIONS --> VIEW ( TAb ) and then you should see where its saying to hide the file extensions. You do NOT want to hide your extensions except your protected system files. Leave those hidden.

What You Need To Download

1.) Code::Blocks You can install the default settings or check mark ALL boxes and install everything. Either way, it's up to you. I prefer to install everything just in case.

2.) MinGW (NOTE : This is optional )

3.) FreeGlut Do NOT get the source code. GET THE BINARIES. [ Example : freeglut-MinGW-2.8.1-1.mp.zip ] ( Latest stable release dated 2013 )

Think of freeglut as if it was the Glut32 Binaries, which the original source code to Glut32 was never available since its proprietary. But once you get the GLUT demo working, you can play with the freeglut source code from their website. You can however still play with the Ported Glut32 source code. It's latest stable release was back in 2001 though.

Installation

Once you install Code::Blocks, then you can download and unzip the freeglut ZIP file, which will contain this.

Move all of those files and folders into the C:Program Files (x86)CodeBlocksmingw folder. ( This is the folder where you see Include and Lib folders. This is important. ) If it asks you to overwrite folders, that's OK, say yes. It will not overwrite anything important.

Now copy, do not move, just copy the freeglut.dll file that should currently be in your C:Program Files (x86)CodeBlocksminGW folder into your C:Windows folder. The reason to copy this into that folder is because C:Windows is in your path, and to keep the confusion down, It is easier to just copy it to there. You can always change it later. It would be highly advised that you add the C:Program Files (x86)CodeBlocksMinGWbin folder to your path as well.

So now that you have copied the correct files and are ready to setup Code::Blocks, go to this folder : C:Program Files (x86)CodeBlocksshareCodeBlockstemplateswizardglut and in there you will see a file named wizard.script. Its this file where it is looking for Glut32. You just simply replace any reference to Glut32 with freeglut. And it really is that simple.

NOTE : USE NOTEPADD or NOTEPADD ++, do Not use Microsoft word or WordPad.

Here is what it should look like.

The wizard.script File

This line 'project.AddLinkLib(_T('Glut32'));' should now say 'project.AddLinkLib(_T('freeglut'));'

Also, this line 'if (!VerifyLibFile(dir_nomacro_lib, _T('glut32'), _T('GLUT's'))) return false;' should now say 'if (!VerifyLibFile(dir_nomacro_lib, _T('freeglut'), _T('GLUT's'))) return false;'

NOTE : Because of windows Protections, it will force you to save it somewhere else. Just save it to your desktop and then MOVE the file into the same folder as the old one and overwrite. It will ask for permission, click continue. ( or yes on some machines ).

Now. one more file to edit and your done.

go to this folder by back tracking a little bit : C:Program Files (x86)CodeBlocksshareCodeBlockstemplates

in there you will find glut.cbp

This is the file that is for your project to work off of. You need to edit this too. Here is the code :

The glut.cbp File

See this line '<Add library='Glut32' />' should now say '<Add library='freeglut' />'

NOTE : Because of windows Protections, it will force you to save it somewhere else. Just save it to your desktop and then MOVE the file into the same folder as the old one and overwrite. It will ask for permission, click continue. ( or yes on some machines ).

Time to run the demo code from Code::Blocks itself

Start up code::blocks and choose Create New Project and then choose Glut / Glut Project. Click next and give it a name and point to where you want the project saved too. Click next again and where it asks where Glut is, point to : C:Program Files (x86)CodeBlocksMinGW. It will find the glut.h file you need. It will ask you what compiler, I use GNU GCC Compiler. ( The name MinGW is not in the list for some reason. )

So yea. run the demo right out of the original Code::Blocks code and you will see some red spinning objects. :)
