MinGW Issue

Submitted by MeisBarry on October 20, 2007 - 1:18pm

I've recently been using g95 to compile fortran programs. G95 requires MinGW and its libraries. The install g95 installer comes packaged with MinGW, and also an option to install g95 into a preexisting MinGW installation. Installing it on my home computer works fine, and I can compile without any trouble.

Notepad++ Portable and NSIS Portable Integration

I want to start playing around with NSIS, so I downloaded NSIS Portable and downloaded the latest version of NSIS. While I was poking around on their Wiki, I found information about integrating NSIS with Notepad++. I thought, "Perfect!"

However, when I read the instructions, step two says "Verify that makensis.exe is in your environmental user path." How would I do this with portable versions of these programs? Is it possible?

I tried entering the full path to makensis.exe in step three, but that didn't seem to work.

Notepad++ v4.3 - When to expect PE?

Submitted by mAXX on September 26, 2007 - 9:42am

From http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm

25/09/2007 Notepad++ v4.3 is released.

Notepad++ v4.3 fixed bugs and added features (from v4.2.2) :

1. Fix the crash bug due to the corrupted configuration file (config.xml and session.xml).
2. Fix the crash bug while the shortcut command is absent in shortcut.xml.
3. Fix the file status auto-detection bug : a unwanted selection after a pop-up dialog.
4. Enhance Styler Configurator : the visual effect is updated immediately while the setting is changing.
5. Add Global override feature (in Styler Configurator).
