But out of pure boredom, since my wife left today for Chicago for a few days, I thought I would try my hand at building a Debian package. I built this one in a Debian 4.0 (Etch) environment. I don't have Debian installed on anything, so any guinea pigs that want to test it can download it from here.
Guinea pig report follows:
Package installs OK, but program refuses to start. If killed and started again, it displays a message box with the following message: "Deleted stale lock file '/tmp/Code::Blocks-fasser'.", which is normal given that the program was abnormally closed before. This happened from time to time with previous nightlies, but C::B usually started OK afterwards, whereas this time it just hangs there forever.
Note that your Ubuntu build from this same snapshot always started OK (didn't launch it many times, but a few of them), so maybe there IS some real difference between Debian and Ubuntu libs, at least at compile time.
Hope this helps :-)
