Just to be clear, you are looking for a distribution which only contains the MinGW compiler and GDB? This is not impossible, however it will require some testing since the compiler has multiple dependencies.

We have added this to our road map.

Thanks for reaching out to us. Can you confirm, you were able to build CopperSpice with no errors but you had a few warnings. Is this correct? It is an on going process to remove warnings. Newer versions of platforms and C++ compilers will flag new warnings. Please continue with the installation and...

We are not sure what you mean by "separating all those libraries". There is nothing to separate. In our CI we have the Release and Debug builds in separate directories with zero issues. The source is in one location and we have multiple build directories and multiple install directories. F...

Installing Release and Debug builds in the same location is not a supported configuration for MSVC. A suffix on the library names is not sufficient to resolve potential conflicts between the installed files. For example, you need the correct version of UIC, RCC and the exported CMake files. Instead,...

There is no standard structure for Windows and projects are free to set their own requirements. Windows developers generally expect a more flat directory structure than Unix developers. We have documented our file layout in the CS Overview documentation and our CS Journal. Just for reference, these ...

Are you using MSVC or MinGW on Windows?

My local CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH is "d:\code\third_party\usr\local". For reference, CopperSpice downstream projects on Windows using both MSVC and MinGW have been fully tested in our CI. Applications like KitchenSink, Diamond, and DoxyPress are all working with the current path structure. Your ...

Can you let us know if you are using MSVC or MinGW on Windows. Also, which version of CMake are you using. Did you download CMake from Kitware or was this bundled with some other product. Did you build CS or install our binary files? If you are building CS from source can you let us know what option...

Thanks for reaching out to the CopperSpice team. The current CopperSpice Windows platform plugin file is called CsGuiWin1.9.dll . This plugin must be located in a folder named platforms which is located in the same directory as your executable. Based on the message reported, it is likely you did not...
