Codeblocks from Sources - Mandriva 2010

[evstevemd]

Hi All,
Mandriva 2010 have its C::B which misses plugin including the important wxSmith.
I tried to build from sources I get error:   :shock:

I'm not good at Linux installing from sources but I saw patches on other threads and I don't know where to apply and if they are going to solve my problem; so help me!

prefix.cpp: In function ‘char* br_extract_dir(const char*)’:
prefix.cpp:396: error: invalid conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char*’
prefix.cpp: In function ‘char* br_extract_prefix(const char*)’:

Did you read this : http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Linux ?

I suggest to use either svn-sources (how to fetch is described in the wiki-page) or use a more recent tar-ball, not the one from 8.02-release.
You can download it (e.g.) from my server (see signature).

I have followed how to install from SVN (thanks for that).
I appreciate and it was learning experience on console.
Now there is no wxSmith 
How do I add it?
