Building on Debian

[darthdespotism]

Hi

I know there is an unoffical Repos for Debian but I prefer building Codeblocks on my own (don't know what this is good for, but ...) and the build is currently failing at ./bootstrap:

You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
./bootstrap: line 64: aclocal: command not found

however there is no aclocal.m4 and when I copy the above mentioned file in codeblocksfolder the second error remains.

Any thoughts / packages?

Messages about copying .m4 files happen all the time and i alway ignored them with no problem (on OS X at least but anyway autotools is the same on all platforms). try installing autotools (autoconf, automake, etc.)

[darthdespotism]

OK I really was missing autotools. Trying to build it now

Code

wxgtk + gtk2 ist installiert (-dev Pakete!)

Check that the header exists and where it is... if it's actually there, help the program find it by symlinking or passing additional search flags to configure perhaps

[mandrav]

You need the gtk-devel package.
(Sigh, one of these days we should add a dependency check for this in configure.in...)

Do you mean libgtk2-dev ? this is already installed

after symlinking /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk to /usr/local/include/gtk it finally worked

I have a similar problem building on Ubuntu Feisty (VMWare'd)

after running ./configure i get:

Code

checking for GTK2... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0) were not met:

No package 'gtk+-2.0' found

is it even possible that gtk 2.0 isn't installed on a vanilla ubuntu? does anyone know what I'm missing?

to pre-empt the next set of problems, to build C::B with the full set of plugins what make incantations do I need to specify?

I'm not sure. But it may come only with the runtime packages. You should install libgtk+-2.0-devel package (the name may be bit different) to compile C::B.

Configure C::B as -

Code

./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all

thanks biplab (for reference the name was libgtk2.0-dev)

I also grabbed automake, autoconf, libtools, and the usual wx libs -- I really have no idea how many of these were essential... The wiki is very out of date on compiling from source on linux
