CodeBlocks 10.5

[JaxDragon]

I just downloaded this. It was released back in may. MAJOR improvements over the older codeblocks you probably have. More like a free open-source visual studio now.

[Falco Girgis]

Yeah.... except for teh whole Visual Studio part... I'm sure it still sucks.

Code::Blocks is quite powerful. Also, don't forget the Linux crowd.

GNU Make is just as powerful.

...I'm just being a dickwad. I used it for awhile and didn't really like it so much. It kind of sucked on a Mac.

Oh, yes. Code::Blocks on OSX sucks immensely. It's kinda weird how the environment makes a particular app suck. For instance, I think GIMP is godly on Linux but an absolute abomination in Windows. Just the responsiveness, GUI positions, etc. change enough to make life suck.

C::B on Linux is great. In Windows, it's alright. In OSX, I wanted to shoot myself.

Most definitely, they change it up for the better! Also I agree wid TheBuzzSaw it's a dun deal on Linux

I think its just sad that they didnt build in something like an update function - or at least some popup that notifies you if there is a new version available.
Anyway, I love Code::Blocks - though I never used it on a Mac.

[TheBuzzSaw]

Admittedly, it has many dependencies that makes things awkward. They really ought to work on that.

[XianForce]

Can it have two files open at once for editing? Sort of like the horizontal/vertical tabs in VC++?

That was a big reason I chose VC++ > Code::Blocks.

this new version is completely un usable for me on mac. COMPLETELY.

when i press a in thinks im pressing command+a and selects all.

and that for pretty much any key, so its impossible to edit a file.

I think they even wrote that it is not stable at all.

Code::Blocks for Mac is currently not as stable as are other ports. In other words, we could use an extra Mac developer (or two) to work on Mac compatibility issues.

Anyway, I think most of the Mac users are in love with XCode

I wish the team would drop wxWidgets in favor of GTK+ or QT.

wxWidgets makes use of GTK (at least on linux).

I do have to agree though, Qt would be a lot better(I dislike GTK).

[Falco Girgis]

QT is what god uses to code his GUIs in.
