Windows: Build CodeBlocks source without having CodeBlocks binary first

[sorinev]

Is this possible? I do it all the time on Linux (Kubuntu 14.04), but can I build the CodeBlocks source on Windows without having the CodeBlocks binary itself first (i.e. use CodeBlocks 13.12 IDE to build CodeBlocks svn source)?

It has been years since I last read them.

Yeah that's what I'm reading, it's expecting one to have CodeBlocks installed first so that you can build CB from CB itself. I noticed the build .bat files in the source, but they too expect a CB exe.

I have tried multiple times to try to make configure/make work under windows.
But, I have decided it is beyond my abilities.

I think downloading CB for windows to build CB under windows works the best.

But, I am thinking of trying cbp2make on windows and see if that method works better than configure/make does for me.
