I actually was trying to install from the command line via apt, but I didn't read the dependency info close enough. It says:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
codeblocks-contrib : Depends: codeblocks (= 16.01+dfsg-2.1) but 20.03 is to be installed
Depends: libwxsmithlib0 (= 16.01+dfsg-2.1) but 20.03 is to be installed
So... the version of codeblocks I have is too new for the version that's currently available via the default repository? Is there maybe a more up to date ppa?
(It also didn't occur to me that installing via .deb would have the same end result as installing via apt. I figured that they would be unaware of each other, but some googling reveals that that's not the case.)
Installing the contrib-related .deb files (that would, I assume, be the correct, newest version) from the command line with dpkg seems to gives me dependency issues:
Setting up codeblocks-common (20.03) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of codeblocks-contrib:
codeblocks-contrib depends on libboost-system1.67.0; however:
Package libboost-system1.67.0 is not installed.
codeblocks-contrib depends on libhunspell-1.7-0; however:
Package libhunspell-1.7-0 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing package codeblocks-contrib (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Setting up codeblocks-contrib-common (20.03) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of codeblocks-contrib-dbg:
codeblocks-contrib-dbg depends on codeblocks-contrib (= 20.03); however:
Package codeblocks-contrib is not configured yet.
Any idea if there's a single package where I can get those things? I tried googling one (hunspell), and found what seemed like a legit download page... but even then I have no idea what to do with the folder I was given, maybe because I got the wrong thing, or maybe just because I'm a noob.
Thanks very much for any help!
