About making Code::Blocks portable

[f2099]

   Hi, I use the Windows XP OS, and I would like to know the following: if I create a portable version of CB on my USB device (as shown in CB's manual) and insert it in a Ubuntu OS, is it likely to run there, even though I made the installation through the Windows XP OS? Thanks in advance!

In general, no it won't run, the executable format is different, the runtime libraries are different and so on.
You can try with wine, but this is not how it is supposed to work and I doubt it will be reliable.

Ok, thanks!

Keep in mind also that (I am fairly certain) Ubuntu does not allow any program (native or not) to be run from an external device (due to security reasons).

   I didn't know about that possibility...thank you!
