wxDev-C++ 6.10.2 released
Not sure exactly what happened, but after
Since there seem to be some issues with auto updating from WebUpdate, I've placed the 6.10.2 executable along with the installer package on SourceForge. Just rename the devcpp_6.10.2.exe to devcpp.exe and run that executable.
It's always a good idea when upgrading manually to delete the devcpp.ini file (do a file search on your system; it's usually in C:\Documents and Settings\${USERNAME}\Application Data\Dev-Cpp). The file will be automatically re-generated with the corrected settings the first time you run the updated devcpp.exe.

Unfortunately all your customizations are lost if you delete devcpp.ini. In the past I've had to backup the %appdata% folder, then selectively copy my custom settings back into the new devcpp.ini and reinsert my custom tools into devcpp.cfg. The attraction of WebUpdate is not having to go through all of this each time.tbreina wrote:devcpp.ini... will be automatically re-generated with the corrected settings the first time you run the updated devcpp.exe
Btw, if one just swaps devcpp.exe as suggested above without deleting the old devcpp.ini, wouldn't it likely (with a little luck, assuming no big program changes) end up corrected with customizations intact the next time you close wxDev-Cpp?
Yes, it would. The only problems would occur if we changed the makefile generation (i.e. compiler commands). The regex stuff is located in the devcpp.ini file, so you might have some incorrect makefiles (or crashes). For the 6.10.1 to 6.10.2 upgrade, that shouldn't occur. So you'd be safe not to delete the ini file.aval57 wrote:Btw, if one just swaps devcpp.exe as suggested above without deleting the old devcpp.ini, wouldn't it likely (with a little luck, assuming no big program changes) end up corrected with customizations intact the next time you close wxDev-Cpp?

A separate devcpp.exe download (like in the old days, deja vu all over again ) plus a specific mention in the announcement thread as to whether the previous version's Application Data is likely reusable would take the grief out of manual updating.
Many Thanks, Tony, to all of you for the program, and for dealing with all these issues, some of which (like this one) are legacies of dev-c++. WebUpdate, I should also say, is great since for the first time it provides a hassle-free way of keeping wxwidgets up to date.

I've got the source
I've got the sources of WxDev-C++ successfully.The one who want to get the source as I did should bear in mind that : use "check out " ,which is translated into "导出" in Chinese version .
Joel, I joint . I want to optmise the STL code completion .
Have fun!

3.4 if I am not mistaken. Or else it may very well be 3.3. Do this:
Start > run
Type in cmd, press enter.
cd C:\Program Files\wxDev-C++\bin (or whether you stored the compiler files)
g++ --version
You should see something like this:
