BTW: Compiling from svn makes CB crash on opening of almost every dialog (make clean-zip-files doesn't help at all).
If you 've built C::B before on this computer, make sure you run
make uninstall before building the updated C::B. That is because it uses libcodeblocks.so which is already installed (normally in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib) and not the one you 're building.
I use make Makefile as it is standard way of compiling Linux programs, and people are just familiar with it - so proper Makefiles is a must to make CB succesful on Linux.
We 're using autotools to generate the Makefiles, we don't create them by hand. So, I guess, they are
proper Makefiles...
OTOH, if you believe there 's something wrong with our autotools scripts, please provide a patch.
