 This article describes how to assemble your plugin to work with officially released Code::Blocks distribution (either nightly or not) on Windows. It's accomplished by linking your plugin against the DLL's shipped with Code::Blocks.

 ====Step Four - Link Everything Together ====
 After having your plugin compiled (or up and running if you prefer) you will need to edit the project build options and add the directory where your official release or nightly is residing to the linker. Project -> Build Options... -> Search directories -> Linker
-Then add the needed libraries to the linker to compile the plugin. These are wxmsw28u_gcc_cb.dll and codeblocks.dll. You don't need to write the .dll extension or the lib word (if present) so they will look like this on the linker options:
+[[Image:05_search_directories.png|none]]
 *codeblocks
 *wxmsw28u_gcc_cb
 ====Step Five - Package ====
-Wrap your plugin in .cbplugin archive as described in [[Managing Plug-in Resources]] page. That's all.
+Wrap your plugin in .cbplugin archive as described in [[Managing Plug-in Resources]] page.
 =Conclusion=
 You should now be able to compile the plugin and load it to the current nightly without the symbols error. A problem that many developers confront after compiling the plugin with a compilation that differs from the official one.
-This was a quick howto so is maybe missing info, I will update it later as add some images. Good Luck!

+====Step Two - Get Sources ====
-Get the wxWidgets sources at http://wxwidgets.org and configure the setup.h to be compatible with the actual wxmsw28u_gcc_cb_wxXXX.dll compilation.
+To ensure your plugin will run smoothly with chosen C::B version you need headers and libraries of this version as well as headers and libraries for wxWidgets library used by this Code::Blocks.
-====Step Three====
+Headers and libraries alone constitute SDK. In CB case headers are distributed with sources, libraries come with CB or can be recompiled from source if needed. Get sources for your required version of Code::Blocks from [https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/7 SVN] if you haven't done so already.

-Is useful to know how to compile Code::Blocks sources from scratch to link with our plugin, but when we want to share it with the community then we need to link it against the latest nightly build or final release of codeblocks. This is a simple procedure that many people doesn't know at first, and that will help you accelerate development in many ways. Enjoy :)
