WOW! Just install CB for Linux! Just one question?

[BigAngryDog]

Hey look at me! Just installed a nightly on Kubuntu Edgy! And it works!

Found these instructions helpful:

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_nightly_build_on_Ubuntu

However, it tells me install 2.6.0 of wxWidgets with:

sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.6-0

I thought C:B was using 2.6.3? Should I attempt to install this? If so, how do I do it?

PS - Please bear in mind that I am a Linux newbie.

CB works with wxGTK 2.6.[0-3]. For the developers wxWidgets 2.6.3 is the main target, but different wxWidgets 2.6.x versions should be compatible between each other version. you sometimes don't even have to recompile cb from sources, e.g. one cb package runs on suse 10.0 with wxGTK2.6.0 and on suse10.1 with wxGTK2.6.2

Thanks for reply.

The CB about box tells me it is actually using wxwidgets 2.6.1

Lets suppose I wanted [for the sake of learning how to do it] to upgrade to wx 2.6.3.

How do I do it? Or do I have to build the wx library myself?

If you installed the Ubuntu .deb listed on the nightly forum, then that build is for Dapper. It's built using the available libraries from the Dapper repositories. Dapper's repos contain wxWidgets 2.6.1, which is why you see that version listed in the about info. If you are running Edgy, then you probably already have 2.6.3 installed if you installed wxWidgets from the Edgy repositories. In my signature you will see a link to a build for Edgy.

Just installed C::B for Edgy.

Thanks for the help. Good stuff!
