Code Blocks 17.12 Download For Windows 10

[Tordis Hurrle]

NOTE: There are also more recent nightly builds available in the forums or (for Ubuntu users) in the Ubuntu PPA repository. Please note that we consider nightly builds to be stable, usually.

NOTE: The codeblocks-20.03-setup.exe file includes Code::Blocks with all plugins. The codeblocks-20.03-setup-nonadmin.exe file is provided for convenience to users that do not have administrator rights on their machine(s).

Note: The Linux packages above are compressed archives (tar, tar.xz or tar.bz2). When you decompress the package you downloaded on your system, you will find all the .rpm or .deb packages required to install Code::Blocks.

Note: On RedHat/CentOS older revisions of 6 (up to 6.2 as far as we know) you need to add repoforge (former rpmforge) to your repolist, to be able to install the needed wxGTK-package. See for an instruction.

Is there a way to turn this off? I've been using code blocks to quote text, include large block of texts and to differentiate text from others. Pretty much all of my notes have been using code blocks whereas I don't code. So now it all looks like rainbow, loads slower and I honestly don't see myself being used to this new reality.

There is no overall setting but you can change each code block individually to "Plain text" which removes the highlighting. Also don't forget there is now the ability to add a "Quote" section which you might also find useful.

How is it done and why am finding it hard to find the simple implementation on new release features? I don't see a link in the release notes and searching the help is pulling up threads that don't address the basic feature. I use the "/" command for example and type to get quote started but how to toggle off.

There does seem to be an issue with ending the quote block. The easiest way seems to be to ensure you do not start your code block on the last line and then use the down arrow key to navigate out of the block.

It's also possible to select text and then use Quote on the blue + button to either turn it into a quote block or turn it from quote block to regular text. Still haven't figured out what this is for, though.

I think it's a response to lots of requests for the ability to QUOTE text. I recall a long discussion on this awhile back. It's one of those use of if you need it otherwise ignore it features - a bit like CODE blocks

Syntax highlighting in code blocks seem to break if the code has windows line endings. I encountered this when copy/pasting some code from notepad in to figjam. It took a while to figure out, but there seemed to be some whitespace character on the end of each line and deleting those in the codeblock fixed the syntax highlighting

Could someone here kindly explain how to set up the new GLFW3 in the Code::Blocks environment? I have used earlier versions of both glfw and code blocks for years, and it baffles me that I simply cannot make this setup work despite hours of tinkering.

Linking static library: ..\..\..\bin\codeblocks\libjucedebug.aar.exe: creating ..\..\..\bin\codeblocks\libjucedebug.aar.exe: build\.objd\src\juce_appframework\audio\plugins\formats\juce_AudioUnitPluginFormat.o: No such file or directory

I would compile under Code:Blocks every week and spend hours fixing the compile errors. Code:Blocks is pretty rough and no longer under active development. I got my project working in Qt Creator and let me tell you, this IDE is AWESOME. In some ways better than visual studio (but some ways worse).

Qt Creator is under active development, and can be used to build native applications (you do not need to use the Qt libraries). There are even a couple of very active IRC channels where you can get help (unlike Code:Blocks). The debugger is quite good.

Formatted texts or text fragments from text or code editors are interpreted by the Affinity programs as plain text (with rudimentary formatting). However, this is also the case with other DTP programs.
Your only option here is to format the text yourself or insert it as an image using a screenshot.

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

Thank you very much for your help. So I don't have Word here but a roundtrip over LibreOffice Writer also worked (copy in VS Code, paste in LibreOffice Writer, copy from LibreOffice Writer, paste into Affinity Publisher). I might have a look at the TeX ecosystem anyways, because I have a feeling that this is not really a scalable approach. Thanks again!

I do not have VS Code (even though it strikes me as an extremely good editor). I use BBEdit (Mac only) and there is a command in BBEdit's Edit menu which is Copy as Styled Text. When I use that the font and colouring is preserved when I paste into Affinity Publisher. Perhaps VS Code has something similar.

So i looked a bit into what @Andreas Scherer suggested and I found Typst to be a really nice solution for the kind of thing I want to do. It maybe does not have the full power of TeX but it's good enough for my purposes. A huge plus is that it's really easy to learn. You can easily change the look of everything (fonts, headings, colors, etc) and it has built-in support for code blocks with highlighting. I can even define my own re-usable components, so a code block always looks the same, e.g. in this case with a border around it:

This took a couple minutes to build the styles for, with the code block pasted using RTF and using a paragraph style using a fill decoration--a one-click paragraph formatting. Had to copy your fish image, it's pretty cool looking!

On Windows there is Notepad++ (free) which can copy formatted, syntax highlighted text either in HTML or RTF, and it supports dozens of languages. RTF formatted text on Clipboard is supported by Affinity apps (as it is in most other page layout apps). As for macOS, Visual Studio (available up to 2024) is free and also supports RTF format when copying syntax highlighting onto Clipboard.

I downloaded Visual Studio in my Mac & very briefly tried to get it to copy RTF text to the clipboard but could not figure out how to do it, in part because there does not seem to be equivalent menus to the Windows ones you showed, like Language or Plugins. I did add an extension named RTF, which added syntax highlighting, but since I could not find the equivalent of the export copy RTF to Clipboard plugin (?) I could not get it to put anything besides plain text onto the clipboard.

While syntax highlighting works in Visual Studio 2022 for Mac (without needing to do anything extra), I was wrong to assume that formatting would be copied onto Clipboard on the macOS version of the app, as it is (by default) on Windows version. It is NOT, and the feature is not available on the macOS version of the app.

Visual Studio is also quite limited, especially on macOS, because language support is poor, so using Notepad++ (as I did on the video clip above) would be much more versatile and powerful. On macOS using Xcode would probably be the best (free) choice to get syntax highlighting in a page layout app. Note, though, that e.g. Pages supports HTML formatting so it would be possible to use VS Code and copy its language specific syntax highlighting onto Clipboard and paste it formatted into Pages..

I then set codeblocks to use the visual C++ 2010 compiler.
At first I had the error about not finding io.h and I solved that by including the VC include folder, and finally something was happening.

Please attempt to resolve the problem and then start Windows SDK setup again. If you continue to have problems with this issue, please visit the SDK team support page at go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=130245.

It seems codeblocks is linking to the x86 sdk. So now I am installing the 64 bit microsoft sdk, and hopefully that will solve it.

I am new to this platform, I dont know how to configure opencv with code blocks even i tried a lot but it always gives an error while compile any image processing program. Please help to configure opencv 2.4.8 with code blocks 13.12. Give me all the steps of configuring it.

Note that the above steps are global compiler setting for code:blocks and if you want to configure for a single project, just right click on the project name, select Build option and follow above steps.

Afaik the highlighter should determine the code and use the proper highlighting syntax. IMO the fallback should be plain text w/o highlighting, but this is apparently not the case or not working.
The problem is that not even

Yes, i was actually going to post a bug ticket about this, ```text should work , and the default should be plaintext, before i knew how to set the language for markdown code blocks my notes from copying and pasting random stuff is colorful from it trying and failing to parse it
