rpm packages for C::B?

(1/2) > >>

rickg22:
I was wondering - how hard it is to make RPM packages for Code::Blocks? What are the difficulties and complications?

darklordsatan:
Making rpms is a piece of cake. But the difficulties here is that most people havent been able to compile it successfully (Am I right?), so until we have some piece of sourcecode that actually compiles well, with no probs under a Linux box with wx6.1 and else, there should be no prob providing them.

rickg22:
Maybe this is going to the extreme, but wouldn't it be easier to add the whole wxWidgets library (i know, it sounds crazy, but it might just work!) so that we compile C::B and our own tested wxWidgets without any problems whatsoever?

Funto:
Isn't there a dependency system with RPM packages?
I know the wxWidgets team proposes RPMs for wx2.4 (not for 2.6); it would be possible to precise a dependency towards these RPMs.

I wasnt aware, since my Slack box is broken ATM so I havent had the chance to test it myself.
Well, I guess we need to first make sure it doesnt crash (that much at least :oops:) in order to provide an rpm. Dont know, just MHO.
Probably we need someone to take care of the Linux port? (Im not aware if someone other than yiannis or rick is doing this ATM).
