Whatever problems you have you can ask, I think we 'll get it to build. For me I just followed the wiki instructions to build wxWidgets and Code::Blocks back when cvs was still used.

Sorry for the question a bit off-topic, but I have not really understood what you meant by

I am interested in using Linux (Windows is boring me :)) and the huge choice of distributions make me the task not easy. If you can tell me what do you think about ubuntu and gentoo, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Well Gentoo is kewl. It takes awhile to setup, but you get more control. I have used Kubuntu, and I hated it. I used KDE (therefore Kubuntu) for my desktop. I couldn't figure out how to get KDE back to the "factory" default. With Gentoo it (KDE) is at "factory" default. I think (this is my opinion no offense to anyone) that the people behind the ubuntu distro's are making it easy for people to switch to Linux. So my choice is Gentoo out of those two.
Michael:
Thank for your reply :).
Personally, I was thinking about ubuntu and/or gentoo. May be Debian too. I like the philosophy of ubuntu. Years ago, I have had a bad experience with a RedHat distribution.
Anyway, I have to investigate more, before taking a decision (and I have also to wait until I get a new computer :)).

RedHat based stuff is terrible IMO. :lol: :lol: I tried Fedora Core awhile back, and I hated it.... Mandrake (Mandrivia whatever) is well for new Linux users..... I don't like it either. :P Never tried Debian (well ubuntu really isn't Debian).....

RedHat was quite ok at that time (year 2000 :D). What was terrible was when I decided to change the screen resolution. The OS modified the keyboard layout too. After several days in trying to re-change it, I decided to re-install RedHat again :D.
