Building Pioneer with code::blocks (Windows)

I made it work using these instructions but can't really consider official :)

Luomu Thanks, seems to work. I say "seems" because at the end of the compilation, shoots this error:

Some idea?

[Luomu]

Looks like it cannot find the pioneer libraries, could be just a build order problem. Try building the "pioneer" sub-project instead of the top level workspace/solution. It shouldn't be necessary to manually build each sub-library project.

[walterar]

Surely some stupid detail I forgot. I think this will work. I'll keep looking, the solution is near.

[walterar]

Success!

The only problem is that I had to replace your SDL2.dll to the of pioneer-thirdparty. It now supports C++11 (at least to_string) :)
I did not find, yet, how to include (static) libraries into the executable. Is possible with this system?

Updated instructions & links: http://pioneerwiki.com/wiki/Building_with_Code::Blocks

The dependency package has a couple of changes
- rebuilt assimp, the previous version was too new!
- rebuilt libsigc as static library, and statically linked c++ runtime (no longer required to copy libstdc++.dll or have it in PATH)

I did not find, yet, how to include (static) libraries into the executable. Is possible with this system?

That would require rebuilding all dependencies (SDL, libpng, libvorbis...) from source as static libraries.
