Here is a small script I use to download the sources for Linux compilation. Note great but saves some typing. Tested on Ubuntu. It does a full svn checkout. I was not allowed to upload it, so you need to copy the source in a textfile
To use it, copy it to a textfile "downloadNightlyBuild", and put it to the folder where you want to download the sources, Set the file permissions and run it. You might need to install subversion. This should do all this:
sudo apt install subversion
chmod 750 downloadNightlyBuild
./downloadNightlyBuild
It asks for the build number, for this it would be "12535". The checkout goes into the folder "cbNightly_2021-10-31_ref12535" as of today. If the download gets stuck, the script can be interrupted with Ctrl-C and started again. When it gives a green OK the download is done.
Shared in the hope some might find it useful.
source
#!/bin/bash
# downloadNightlyBuild
# The script downloads a nightly build of CodeBlocks from sourceforge.
# The links are not given any more at the forum, but the build number
# is sufficuent to grab the correct sources.
# use
# ./downloadNightlyBuild
# Dependencies:
# suversion must be installed: on Ubuntu use sudo apt install svn
