Guide for building C::B on Linux request due to wiki 502 error

Developer forums (C::B DEVELOPMENT STRICTLY!) > Development

(1/5) > >>

AndrewCot:
Does anyone have an up to date guide for building C::B on Linux that they can give me or if someone can post a copy of the following wiki page as I cannot get to the wiki page due to the 502 errors:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Linux

The 502's seem to have gotten worse over the last 2 days as I was able to get to it a week ago, but I only started to try and build it earlier today and have hit issues with missing or miss configured packages that should hopefully be documented on the wiki or if someone has an up to date guide.

Commaster:
Surprisingly I have no issues. Must be that IPv6/IPv4 thing again ;)

AndrewCot:
Thanks for the doc.

BTW I have IP6 disabled on my router.

This is my build script under Kubuntu 20.04

--- Code: ---#!/bin/bash

#install build essentials for codeblocks with gtk2 and gtk3
sudo apt install cmake
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install libgtk2.0-dev libhunspell-dev libgamin-dev
sudo apt install libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev

#path to wxWidgets configuration scripts
WX_CONFIG_DIR=/usr/local/lib/wx/config

#actual wxWidgets configuration to use
#to see alternatives use: find /usr/local/lib/wx/config/*
WX_CONFIG=gtk2-unicode-3.0
WX_CONFIG_FULLPATH="$WX_CONFIG_DIR/$WX_CONFIG"

#build and install paths
CB_DIR=/ssd1/codeblocks
CB_BUILD_PATH="$CB_DIR/$WX_CONFIG/build"
CB_INSTALL_PATH="$CB_DIR/$WX_CONFIG/install"

#create build area
mkdir -p "$CB_BUILD_PATH"
pushd "$CB_BUILD_PATH"
pwd
git clone https://github.com/obfuscated/codeblocks_sf
cd codeblocks_sf/

#configure, build & install using selected configuration
./bootstrap
./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all \

ls -l "$CB_INSTALL_PATH/bin"
popd

AndrewCot:
@cacb than you very much for the script. I used it instead of the WIKI doc as the WIKI was for WxWidget 2.8 and as such was way out of date. I used GTK3. I was able to build and run the SF 12529 trunk code.

I had to add a few more packages from the default xubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso install (on Virtualbox using a script) to get it to compile and remove the --with-wx-config="$WX_CONFIG_FULLPATH" ./configure option as the wxconfig was not in the directory specified, but was in the path.

My updated script is below:

--- Code: ---#!/bin/bash

#---- install build essentials for codeblocks with gtk2 and gtk3 ----
sudo apt install -y git
sudo apt install -y cmake
sudo apt install -y build-essential
sudo apt install subversion
sudo apt install -y libhunspell-dev libgamin-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-system-dev

#-------- install build packages for codeblocks with gtk2 --------
# GTK2 #sudo apt install -y libgtk2.0-dev

#-------- install build packages for codeblocks with gtk3 --------
sudo apt install -y libgtk-3-devmake
sudo apt install -y libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5 libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev

# -----------------------------------------------------------------

#path to wxWidgets configuration scripts
WX_CONFIG_DIR=/usr/local/lib/wx/config

#actual wxWidgets configuration to use
#to see alternatives use: find /usr/local/lib/wx/config/*
WX_CONFIG=gtk3-unicode-3.0
WX_CONFIG_FULLPATH="$WX_CONFIG_DIR/$WX_CONFIG"

#build and install paths
CB_DIR=~/code/codeblocks
CB_BUILD_PATH="$CB_DIR/$WX_CONFIG/build"
CB_INSTALL_PATH="$CB_DIR/$WX_CONFIG/install"

#create build area
mkdir -p "$CB_BUILD_PATH"
pushd "$CB_BUILD_PATH"
pwd
#git clone https://github.com/obfuscated/codeblocks_sf codeblocks_git
#cd codeblocks_git
svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/codeblocks/code/trunk codeblocks_sf
cd codeblocks_sf

# -----------------------------------------------------------------

#configure, build & install using selected configuration
./bootstrap
./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all \
--prefix="$CB_INSTALL_PATH"
#./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all \
# --with-wx-config="$WX_CONFIG_FULLPATH" \
# --prefix="$CB_INSTALL_PATH"

make
make install
ls -l "$CB_INSTALL_PATH/bin"
popd

Below is the VirtualBox script I use to install the initial XUbuntu and then did an upgrade and ran the script. I hope this may save you time in the future if you need to use VB as it can be modified for Windows very easily as most of the lines are for configuring the Virtualbox common HDD, Network, Video, Sound and serial port settings.
