Advice on Version for Ubuntu

oBFusCATed:
Symbol browser is disabled for all wx3.x builds. It is enabled for wx2.8, builds I think. If you build the code you can find the place where we disable it and you should remove this part of the code.

tigerbeard:
How can I find out the latest 2.8 build? I guess is not somehting with 17 in the version number?

BlueHazzard:
You can build the current trunk code with wx2.8. It will build fine, we support both versions at the moment...

tigerbeard:
Great. Thanks.

one final question, since i never build CB before. When building the SVN/GIT sources, will I end up with all plugins?

I am asking because when installing from the PPAs I first installed
 
--- Code: ---sudo apt install codeblocks
--- End code ---
Then I was surprised to see the IDE pretty lean. It was missing all plugins including Thread Search and wxSmith. After using
 
--- Code: ---sudo apt install codeblocks codeblocks-contrib codeblocks-wxcontrib-dev
--- End code ---
I got the full IDE. Then saw the repo had a lot more packages like codeblocks-common, wxsmith, some xxx-headers and other xxx-devs. They seem to be sensivite to the version - I got in apt mixup trouble between two 16.01 builds.

BlueHazzard:
you can try this instruction:
https://github.com/bluehazzard/codeblocks_sf/wiki/build_linux_mint_18

WARNING: this will build codeblocks with wx30
i do not know how to switch to wx2.8 if you have installed wx30 and wx28 with ./configure

to answer your question, you have to add
--- Code: -----with-contrib-plugins=all
--- End code ---
to your configure line

please report if it worked...

[Edit:] i updated with a section to build with wx2.8
