Foresight Linux - installing code blocks

EvilImp:
Hi,
  Can anyone tell me how to install this tool in Foresight Linux?  I am a total newbie so a step by step list would be much appreciated.

thanks

I would start by getting wxGTK/wxWidgets 2.8.4 on your computer.

Looks like you most likely will have to compile it from source code.

Ok, thanks, where do I get the download?  More importantly , once I do get the download, how does one compile stuff in Linux?

stahta01:
I would look at this wiki info and see if it helps, I am mainly a windows person, so I can not really help you much in a Linux Distro I never heard of before today.

Note, I did a lot of looking for wxWidgets packages for Foresight Linux; and there is no 2.8.4 that I found, but I saw 2.8.0 or 2.8.1 versions of wxWidgets. Avoid 2.8.3 version, it has known issues with Code::Blocks and Linux. No idea how well 2.8.0/1/2 works under Linux. The recommended version in MS Windows is 2.8.4; note skip the new version 2.8.5 they plan to release 2.8.6 to fix bugs in less than a week.

If you're not comfortable with SVN, you may download the source tarball from the following link.

It contains slightly older source tarballs than the current SVN. :)

Also don't download and install wxGTK-2.8.5. It contains number of serious bugs.
