CodeLite IDE

Today I was looking at the Wikipedia page for the GCC compiler & I noticed there was a section listing the different IDE's you can use with it. Most of them I'd already used such as Dev-C++ & Code::Blocks but I noticed one which I hadn't seen before called CodeLite.

I've spent the past few hours using it & have found it to be quite useful, it's a lot like Code::blocks but a bit simpler to use.

MinGW32 Download

I recently uninstalled the Code::Blocks IDE & decided to go back to writing my programs in notepad & compiling from the command line or using Makefiles.

I had difficulty getting the MinGW installer to download the relevant files, so I had a look on the MinGW  mailing list & found this post where someone else was having problems.

The OP was told he should download the TDM/MinGW installer from here. I did that & it downloaded & installed perfectly first time.
