How to install nightly builds on Linux Mandriva 2007

(1/3) > >>

Hi,
I've installed a few month ago, codeblocks stable release 1.0RC2 on my linux mandriva 2007 distro.
All works fine!

but now I want to install the latest nightly builds in order to use a better code completion, and all other new and updated features.

Is it possible to install a nightly builds on mandriva 2007?
I can see only RPM package for Ubuntu, fedora and suse;
are Suse RPM packages compatible with Mandriva?
otherwise is there nothing I can do to install it on mandriva?

Thank you in advance.

You can build a Mandriva package from the source code / SVN repository ? (let us know any changes needed)

TheTuxKeeper:
The safest way is to build it yourself.

The suse package works on mandriva 2006, perhaps with 2007 too. But I never checked this with 2007. (forget this, there will be dependency problems because the wxgtk package has another name)

I had a lot of problems when I tried to compile C::B on Mandriva 2007.

First, after installing the wxWidgets 2.6.x package I found out that some files were missing. Namely, wx-config was absent from my system. Thus I could not compile.  :cry:

Then I tried to compile wxWidgets by hand: but this time some important files were missing from the GTK+ developement package. :evil:

To make the long story short: I was trying to install C::B on the laptop of some people at their first Linux experience. I was a former fan of Mandriva, so I suggested to install Mandriva 2007... well, after this experience I told them to uninstall Mandriva and install Ubuntu instead :(

TheTuxKeeper:
You're right, they renamed it to wx-config-ansi and wx-config-unicode, what a crap. don't they now that the wx-config script can handle more than one wxwidgets version !?  :shock:

@pivit80: you will have to add the option --with-wx-config=/usr/bin/wx-config-unicode to ./configure. The wxGTK packages you need are libwxgtku2.6-devel and it's dependencies (and the other packages mentioned on the wiki page). :)
