Prebuilt deb package for Ubuntu

(1/2) > >>

alexchen:
Is there a pre-built .deb file of Code::Blocks for Ubuntu?  I check the download site and it points to another site https://launchpad.net/~codeblocks-devs, but I cannot find a pre-built Ubuntu package for download there.
Do I missing something or I have to build it from source?   am very afraid of going through the package dependency nightmare.
Anyone can help?

Thanks.

Thanks for the information, but it does not work for me. When I ran those commands from Ubuntu 20.04, I got the following errors:
By the way, I am very new in Ubuntu and know not much about its PPA stuff, so please bear with me.

I did not try the last command 'sudo apt-get install codeblocks codeblocks-contrib' because nothing was downloaded.

If I have to bite the bullet to build from source, can I simple run 'configure' to do build it?

Thanks

BlueHazzard:
You can probably use this guide to build from source:

I see, there is no version for 20.04 in the ppa....

alexchen:
Thanks.  So there is some issue in the PPA itself then?  Is it easy to fix?
