[DOWNLOAD] Packages of Code::Blocks in your linux distro

[johne53]

Hi Daniel - Your Suse rpm package that I downloaded (last week) seemed to install fine but in use, C::B crashes a lot. One of the developers (Byo) reckons he's now fixed that problem so I'd like to upgrade. This raises a question that I hadn't thought of before.... do you update the rpm package regularly? Or - if I re-installed from the Suse rpm, would I get exactly the same code that I've already got?

Also, is it necessary to uninstall before an upgrade? I don't fancy the prospect of losing all my settings etc.

[TheTuxKeeper]

yes, I usually update them regularly. yesterdays build failed on my build machine. Don't know why, no real error in my log. On my laptop it built without any problem :?

Will build next nightly

hi
Is there any mandriva rpm working?

What's the "official" or even "community-recommended" stance on Code::Blocks on Gentoo?

Check out the SVN and make it yourself?  Or make an ebuild for your personal overlay every couple days?

[Ceniza]

There're three ebuilds in portage for Code::Blocks, all of them masked with ~, and the last one is a month old. Personally, I prefer to get it from SVN and compile it, after all it's a very straightforward procedure.

Yeah, I noticed that.  Just check it out, ./configure, make, make install? Nothing special needed?

[Ceniza]

Steps here. Be sure to follow Option 2... you don't really want to compile RC2 :wink:

In very few steps:

Code

* svn checkout
* cd into directory
* ./bootstrap
* ./configure # maybe you want to give some options to this one
* make
* su -c 'make install'

And everytime you want to update it:

Code

* cd into directory
* su -c 'make uninstall'
* make clean
* make clean-zipfiles
* svn update
* ./bootstrap # I think it's not necessary, but I do it anyway
* ./configure
* make
* su -c 'make install'

Just check it out, ./configure, make, make install? Nothing special needed?

From ./configure --help :

Code

--enable-contrib        build the contrib plugins (default NO)

So that...

I got a new dapper installation, installed the wxbase2.8 package yet the code::blocks package says the dependency is not satisfied.

The current .debs being offered on the nightly forum will not install on Dapper. The dependencies that are not being met are because of the version numbers of such things as gcc, etc. You will need to build CB from source.

[Morphius Faydal]

I should probably unmerge Code::Blocks first... Then build the svn, right?

[Morphius Faydal]

*sigh*

No one knows where I can get wxGTK 2.8 ebuild or overlay, do they? The latest version in portage is 2.6.3

[Ceniza]

Right, you should unmerge Code::Blocks first.

For wxGTK 2.8 try this. I haven't tried it though.

[Morphius Faydal]

That ebuild works beautifully.

Code

morphius@azmael ~ $ codeblocks 
codeblocks: error while loading shared libraries: libcodeblocks.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
morphius@azmael ~ $

This causes more of a problem though.

Well, wx284 are not in the repos even for Feisty. To work with latest CB requiring wx284 one needs to

Code

1. add line
deb http://apt.tt-solutions.com/ubuntu/ dapper main
to /etc/apt/sources.list (replace dapper with edgy or feisty)
2. curl http://www.tt-solutions.com/vz/key.asc | sudo apt-key add -
3. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

At least that was my case..
