Dear splillz,

Your project looks nice! Thanks! Do you have plans to build binaries for Windows and Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) soon?

Sadly all of the plugins are a little rough due to lack of time to work on them. I would like to provide binaries but would prefer to use an automated build system for binaries because it is too much effort to keep it up to date manually. Will need to investigate.

Which linux do you use?

dinya commented 9 years ago

Ubuntu 14.04 (64bits) at home desktop. But Windows 7 (32bits) at work desktop.

I like Code::Blocks, because it seems "single rich cross-platform environment" for all technologies, which I use for scientific and engineering computing: Fortran, C/C++ and Python (I believe).

Code::Blocks with Python Plugins looks like PyScripter. Unfortunately PyScripter is useful for Python only and for Windows only.

Automated build system for binaries is great idea. Do you plan Launchpad?

Btw could you advise detailed instructions for building your plugins for Linux and Windows (I'm newbie to Code::blocks building plugins)? Thank's in advance.

I am going to follow the lead of the Fortran project and make the python plugins a set of externally maintained "contrib" plugins. This will mean the project is automatically included in the regular releases, the nightly builds, and the various repos. Will take a couple of weeks to get it set up.

PS: feel free to post any additional issues or feature requests. I would like to make these plugins more useful.
