Errors while running the Update

[wayne]

using the guide to build C::B from scratch that can be found here :
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Windows

all goes well until it comes to running the src\update.bat file.

when I run this I get the following errors :

**************************************************************
$ update
Creating output directory tree
Compressing core UI resources

Packing core UI bitmaps

Copying files
cp: cannot stat `devel/*.so': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `devel/share/codeblocks/plugins/*.so': No such file or directory
Stripping debug info from output tree

I've built the main C::B projects and also the contrib plugins projects - any clues ?

thanks

Yes, you 're running 'update' in a unix-shell (MSYS or Cygwin) and it actually runs the "update" shell script.
You need to run "update.bat" for windows...

Hi,

when I then run the app from the output directory it warns me that it can't locate
a series of images and then crashes when I try to do anything

Could you *please* run update.bat inside a normal command prompt? Or even double-click it in explorer?

thats *exactly* what I have done - the last print out is from the cmd box - I've also double-clicked
on the bat file in Explorer and got the same result

As you can probably see, it's missing the separators (\). I know nothing about your system so I can't help you any more. The separators are there though (in update.bat).
Maybe it's the zip executable you 're using? What version is it?
