My "C:\" is getting full. What's the best way to
install "wxWindows" without taking up 115 MB from my "C:\" ?

Why do the following:

MS Visual Studio, wxWindows, Borland C++,
Stingray Objective Studio, ARM SDT, etc.

like to install source code to the "C:\" drive?

This has NOTHING to do with the C programming language. I suggest you read
the wxWindows documentation to see what alternatives there are.

What does this have to do with programming in standard C?

I believe the same could be said for comp.lang.c++ (with the addition of
a post-increment as for comp.lang.c so I'm deleting those groups from
the followups.

I'll leave it for the groups I don't know to further trim things if they
wish.

Where do you expect C to go, if not to the C drive?

It would be nice if compilers / libraries gave users the option to
install source code (and thus, objs, libs, etc.) to a location of
his / her choosing. That way, users can install the application to
the "C:\" drive and the source code to a data drive (like "D:\"),
which could be a logical partition.

Doing a search on my "C:\" drive for *.obj was alarming,
especially when there are debug / release versions.
And then, within debug / release version, there are
unicode / ascii, static / dynamic, etc.

Please stop discussing your implementation on comp.lang.c and
comp.lang.c++, these groups are here to discuss the languages, not the
particulars of your implementation.

Please don't top post. Your reply belongs under the text you are
replying to which should be suitable snipped.

Followups set.
