Is only 2.0 version of gtk+ really needed to build code::blocks?

[CatsCanFly]

Hello, everyone. I'm trying to build code::blocks under Debian Jessie, following by build manual, and config script says that gtk+2.0 lib is really needed. I have the gtk+3.0 (3.8.6-1) in my system and don't really want to install old version. Can I build code::blocks with gtk+3. Thanks you for answer and sorry for my English, it isn't so good.

Gtk2 is really needed.
And I am sure you have several applications on your system, that need it too.
The only difference is, that you need the development files to build C::B yourself.

Instead of building C::B yourself, you can use a recent build from my repo (see signature).

Thank you. I have raised doubts because code::blocks, installed from package, doesn't have gtk2 in it's dependences and properly works without it.

It has wxWidgets (libwxgtk2.8-0) in the dependencies and this depends ond gtk+2.
See https://packages.debian.org/jessie/libwxgtk2.8-0.

Thank you for answer And another question ( I ask it here, that not to create new topic). Code::blocks now builds successfully  by using "make", but I can't build it from Code::blocks workspace. I'm using the CodeBlocks_wx30-unix.workspace from the source arhive. The first problem is unspecified environment variable $(#CB_RELEASE_TYPE). When I just remove it from config, workspace starts to build, but compiler says that It can't find "-locodeblocks" lib. Full build log: [spoiler=Click]

[/spoiler] Sorry for my stupid questinons, but I'm new in non-windows and non-Visual Studio programming I want to try to add some usefull things in code::blocks( i have little experience in writing IDE on Windows.)

Please try building these projects and see if the error goes away.

After setting Global Variable CB_RELEASE_TYPE to "-g" in the base test box without the double quotes.
