« on: July 24, 2006, 08:20:18 pm »

It's quite easy ;)
1. Download the svn sources (http://www.codeblocks.org/source_code.shtml)
2. run ./bootstrap and ./configure --enable-contrib
3. run make dist, this will create a .tar.gz with the sources.
4. move the source tar.gz as root to /usr/src/packages/SOURCES
    e.g. sudo mv codeblocks-trunk-r2779.tar.gz /usr/src/packages/SOURCES
5. start building the RPM with sudo rpmbuild -bb --target=i586 codeblocks.spec
6. This will create several packages in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586. These are:
  • codeblocks: main package
  • codeblocks-contrib: contrib plugins
  • codeblocks-devel: SDK headers
  • codeblocks-debuginfo: stripped debug information

Usually you need only the main and the contrib package. The rest is only needed if you need an precise debug output (debuginfo) or you want to write plugins (devel)
I will also update the wiki the next days (had no time yet).

Happy building and codeblocking  :D
Daniel

this is as far as i got:
teddy@linux:~/cb/trunk> ./bootstrap
You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
aclocal:configure.in:63: warning: macro `AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG' not found in library
aclocal:configure.in:64: warning: macro `AM_PATH_WXCONFIG' not found in library
configure.in: installing `./install-sh'
configure.in: installing `./missing'
src/plugins/astyle/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
configure.in:63: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.in:64: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_WXCONFIG

You need these packages to compile codeblocks: wxGTK-devel, zip, subversion, update-desktop-files, make, gettext, autoconf >= 2.5, automake >= 1.7, libtool >= 1.4, m4, intltool, gcc-c++ and libstdc++-devel (that's the full list ;)).
You haven't installed wxGTK-devel at least.

wxGTK-devel is in the base repository. Perhaps you searched case sensitive ?

EDIT: it's wxGTK not wxgtk ;)

It has to be there! :P
Do you use yast ? And do you use a mirror as installation source (perhaps it's broken) or the CDs/DVD ?
Try to add/replace with another mirror (SUSE Mirrors).

There has to be wxGTK, wxGTK-compat, wxGTK-devel, wxGTK-debuginfo and wxGTK-gl

You can paste your error message to: http://rafb.net/paste/ and then post the link ;)

could you paste some more lines. That only shows that there is an error, but the error itself is some lines above ;)

EDIT: Do you use SUSE 10.1 ?
