installing from SVN on RHEL3

(1/2) > >>

pl:
My C::B install on Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 has gone something like this:

 download various recent C::B development RPMs
 fail to install above RPMs
 install SVN
  install NEON for SVN
  install HTTPD for SVN
 svn get C::B source
 read build instructions in source
 download, build, install autoconf
 download, build, install automake
 download, build, install libtool
 hack C::B bootstrap file which fails to detect modern versions of above utilities
 locate alternate install instructions on C::B wiki
 get wxGTK source and patch
 apply wxGTK patch
 attempt to build wxGTK
 give up due to meaningless error messages

That's a lot of wasted effort. Is there any chance you could release an RPM of a recent development version which might actually install on RHEL3?

Game_Ender:
Does RHEL3 have recent versions of any of the needed libraries?  If not why not try Cent0S or Fedora Core and make your life easier? the reason I could think to stick with it is if you still have support but I would assume Red Hat would want to upgrade.

afb:
I think installing from SRPMS should work OK in CentOS 3 and CentOS 4 ?
wiki: Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_RPM_based_distributions

But subversion, autoconf, automake, libtool and wxGTK should be available.
If they don't come with the OS, they're also available from RPMforge.net...

I'll give it a try in the virtualization sandbox later, and note the exact steps.

pl:
I'm stuck on RHEL3. RPMForge doesn't appear to have a recent version of wxGTK for RHEL3, either.

afb:
DarwinPorts doesn't have a recent wxGTK either, so I built one...

Guess we would have to do the same for CentOS 3 (= RHEL 3) ?
Can either use the Fedora version, or the wxWidgets spec files ?

Will update the wiki later, when I update it for Mac OS X / Fedora:
Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_RPM_based_distributions
