Cannot build Code::Blocks from source

(1/3) > >>

alexchen:
I try to build Code::Blocks from source in CentOS 7.6 but it fails.
 
1. I get the source code from trunk:
    svn export http://svn.code.sf.net/p/codeblocks/code/trunk

2. Install wxGTK development pre-requisite
    yum install -y wxGTK-devel

3. Run the commands as listed in http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_RPM_based_distributions#Build_the_RPM_package
    cd trunk
    ./bootstrap
    ./configure
    make dist

4. I get the following errors in 'make dist'
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/fmserver/Downloads/CodeBlocks/trunk/src/plugins/xpmanifest'
 (cd contrib && make  top_distdir=../../../codeblocks-17.12svn0 distdir=../../../codeblocks-17.12svn0/src/plugins/contrib \

I rebuild the source with the following commands and get a different error.
* ./configure --enable-fortran
* make all
* make list

alexchen:
I am able to finish the build with a different configure flag
* ./configure --disable-fortran
* make all
* make list

How do I build an installable RPM after this?
Where do I run the command 'rpmbuild --rebuild codeblocks*.src.rpm' from?  (This is part of the instructions to build the RPM.)

sodev:
Why do you export the svn repository? This removes the svn metadata which will lead to revision 0 in the about box which is not really helpful. Plus without extra parameters it doesnt include the externals, thats why FortranProject is missing for you.

alexchen:

I use 'svn checkout' to get the source code but 'make dist' still gives me the same error.

* svn checkout http://svn.code.sf.net/p/codeblocks/code/trunk
* cd trunk
* ./bootstrap
* ./configure
* make all <----- This works.
* sudo make install <--------- This works, too.
* make list <----- This fails.  Is it OK to ignore the errors?

Question: how do I build the RPM?
According to the instruction, I need to run 'rpmbuild --rebuild codeblocks*.src.rpm'.  But where to run it from?
