Trouble building SVN checkout @ ./bootstrap

[rob_c]

Hi all,

New to the forum but have used C::B in winXP before & liked it so I decided to give Code::Blocks a go on my Linux box.  I'm having difficulty compiling it. My distro is Slamd64 (64bit slackware)

Following these instructions [ http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Linux ] I have got this far:

1) wxWidgets installed
2) Checked out latest source from SVN
3) Attempted ./bootstrap ....

Got initial error requiring extra data from share/xxx to be added to aclocal.m4. Sorted that.

4) Tried ./bootstrap again...

Next errors were of the format 'aclocal:possibly undefined macro: AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG'
(That may not be the exact AM_xx phrase as I cannot repeat the error now.)

5) I searched the web n found that setting ACLOCAL_FLAGS evnironment variable solved this prob for the case I found so tried:
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/share/aclocal -I /usr/share/aclocal-1.9 --acdir=`wx-config --cflags` $ACLOCAL_FLAGS"

6) Now I no longer get the undefined macro errors. But I'm stuck with this:

bash-3.1$ pwd
/home/robin/Codeblocks/devel/trunk
bash-3.1$ ./bootstrap
aclocal: unrecognized option -- `-I/opt/wx/2.6/include/wx-2.6'

I've found that wx-config --clfags defines -I/opt/wx/2.6/include/wx-2.6 but why would it not be recognized? Possibly due to lack of space between the -I and /opt ? If so how do I fix this?

Hope someone can help me?

Thanks,
Rob

Well, it appears I was a bit hasty. Some of the ACLOCAL_FLAGS options don't seem to be valid ( -D options) so removed them. then read the instructions further and saw that the ACLOCAL_FLAGS are actually set so did that. Now just get 'underquoted' warnings but it's now building

Got a successful build. Initially could not find libcodeblocks.so.0 but once run ldconfig, all seems fine.

Well... you have you own little thread going here. With success like that, glad we didn't get to interrupt you.

This info should be helpful for others.

Figured it I ranted on long enough I'd get there eventually and it'd turn into a common mistakes thread.
