Title: Installing on Ubuntu Mate 18.04
Post by: pkuriakose on July 24, 2019, 11:18:27 pm

Hello all,

I am trying to install on Ubuntu Mate 18.04.

When I download the .deb(s and do the dpkg -i, the system cannot install the contribs.  I don't see an error log so I can't seem to work through that.

When I try sudo apt-get install jens-lody-debian-keyring

I get Unable to locate package jens-lody-debian-keyring.

If I add the sources in to sources.list it is the 16.x version.

Please help.

Thanks,

Paul

There is an unofficial PPA (https://launchpad.net/~pasgui/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages) providing CB 17.12 up to Ubuntu 18.04. It's worth a try.

Or you build it by yourself. It is not hard:
https://github.com/bluehazzard/codeblocks_sf/wiki/build_linux_mint_18#setup-build-system
and then

@BlueHazzard
Do you plan to translate it into the Wiki, because it's a great educational work !!

i have written this on github, because i have lost the codeblocks wiki credentials... have them now so i could transfer it..
I still would like to have some feedback...if it is working or not, or useful for beginners, or if it is too advanced ecc...

Unofficial PPA worked like a charm.  Thank you!!
