Code::Blocks build dependencies under ubuntu?

Hi,

With reference to http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,22137.msg150688.html#msg150688

Last night I was trying to build Code::Blocks for a virtual machine running Kubuntu 18.04.04 and used the latest from https://github.com/obfuscated/codeblocks_sf 

In order for ./configure to work successfully a number of dependencies must be met, but I am not quite sure what they are these days, so my question is whether this is documented somewhere? I would like to make a shell script that, given a fresh "off the shelf" Kubuntu 18.04, installed all required codeblocks build dependencies and then successfully built the whole thing.

My attempt list night failed with a message from ./configure I could not quite understand, most likely I made some mistake. If required, I can repeat the excercise and provide the exact message, but first I would try to ensure I have all the dependencies satisified, therefore the question about build dependencies.

Are the build dependencies documented somewhere?

Yes, in the configure script.
If you want to have problem free building just use
--- Code: ---dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
--- End code ---

Ok, I guess that refers to the configure.ac file. I am not familiar with that syntax, but it is probably the correct answer  :P

Thanks, you are right, this works fine. I checked the meaning of the options -us -uc and I guess it just means avoiding some warnings of "unsigned source".

Using dpkg-buildpackage you get *.deb files that install to /usr, which is fine for this kind of virtual machine that I am setting up. But if you want it in a different location I guess the correct way is to edit debian/rules and under DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS set the --prefix=/usr to something different.

oBFusCATed:
No idea, I don't use debian regularly, I just make sure it builds on ubuntu, because of popularity.
But why would you care where a package is installed? Its default is just fine. The idea is that locally build package is superseding the distro version, so you have no conflicts. Debian/ubuntu are shipping old versions anyway.

In this case the default is fine, I agree. My comment was actually inspired by what you said in another thread about installing to places where you can just delete without causing conflicts with other software.
