Can't be done because the problem is in ubuntu, as stated many times, not the Debian's repos.
That's unfortunate. When your program isn't compatible with the most popular linux distribution, whether it's your fault or not, you might want to start thinking about doing whatever it takes to resolve that issue. If they did everything they can (since I obviously don't know any of the details of this issue) then I'm sorry for complaining!
This is pretty easy method, you need to learn only how to add another repo to your sources list (google it please).
I have added other repos to my source list, and I don't have a major problem with that. However, the info on that page is most definitely not suitable for someone with my level of expertise. And it's not very encouraging when the top of the page says "The last stable version of Codeblocks is the 8.02." I would
never suggest Code::Blocks to a friend until there was a page entitled "Installing Code::Blocks 10.05 on Ubuntu 10.04 via the Package Manager", since it's clear (as you say) that a 1-click install option is not a possibility.
Install arch linux or gentoo and you'll become very confident in working with the console and linux :lol:
No thanks. I use Ubuntu to avoid those headaches! =)
Also the distro's packagers are responsible for the packaging of CB for their distro. After all they know their systems best.
You should ask the ubuntu devs to include the package in their repos.
I didn't know this. I thought that a program's developers were responsible for presenting a package to the distribution, and then the distribution was only responsible for ensuring that it was compatible. But as you say, it's not compatible (Ubuntu's fault, as you say), so the point is moot.
Your response does not inspire much hope, so I'll probably just end up switching to another IDE. That will be a shame, because I don't know any other IDE that has virtual project management, which is really the main reason I use C::B.
