A klik package will be good too.

I'll try it out on my fedora installations, when I've got a bit more time. I'll give you a feedback :D

But I have to say that linking wxGTK statically doesn't solve the problem, because gtk2 has to be linked statically into wxGTK, too (don't know whether that's possible). Few days ago I updated from gtk+ 2.8.3 to 2.8.6 and few apps didn't start anymore because they didn't find some symbols. You see it's very complicated. The same will happen if statically linked wxGTK and installed gtk2 doesn't fit. :(

I don't know how your installer works (but I'll see when I'm testing it), but if it doesn't use the distri's package manager I won't be pleased with such a solution because using more than one package manager makes it extremly difficult to handle it.

But nevertheless IMO this installer a good idea :)

OK, well, my installer is kinda messed up, yesterday I discovered that I incorrectly set up the installation paths (I had ${installdir}/bin, etc.) and I need to figure out how to fix that. Also, I found out I forgot to activate RPM integration :oops: and so it won't register... Right now, I am busy fixing my site, I was hacked a few days ago, and I just repaired the MySQL database.... I will try to update the link in a few hours, but I cannot promise anything... Also, I need to statically link GTK+ also?!?! If all the distros already contain GTK+, I thought I just need to statically link GCC libs into wxGTK2 to make sure that I don't wind up with problems with OSes such as SUSE 9 and RH9.... These are eval versions, when I get it working perfectly, I will use the full OSS license I got a few days ago... Autopackage does not have RPM integration afaik...

Well, I finally got enough internet time to upload it...

I did not bother to update the actual Code::Blocks code, since this is an experiment and I am still trying to fix my development system to get Code::Blocks to build (symbolic links are turned dead with files existing)... So, here it is:

http://www.savefile.com/files/9291078

It has the Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows installers.... I don't know how to package the Mac OS X and Linux installers, but at least i packaged them... if you do not install as root, it will NOT register under RPM and will not install into root directories... Rather, it will install into $HOME/CodeBlocks by default...
I do not know why Code::Blocks refuses to launch, so I think there may be something wrong with the symbolic links...
Still, I did not statically link wxGTK2, so I do not know what may happen if C::B is run on something other than FC4/FC5...
If the Linux installer does not show a splash screen of C::B, then you will not be able to use C::B since it uses GTK+ 2 to start it... If GTK+ 2 is not installed, then it will default to X mode, which is baseline X GUI mode...
I DO NOT RECOMMEND RUNNING THE LINUX INSTALLER AS ROOT!!!
