newbie needs a clue - where to get it?

(1/2) > >>

Remdul:
I'm fairly new to Linux and I'm looking for a good C++ IDE. I came along Code::Block, I like what I've seen.

But where do I download it? The website points to a forum post, the forum points to the Wiki, the Wiki points to the forum again...and I still haven't figured out where to get the package.

I'd strongly suggest updating the website to make it easier to find, e.g. a single, simple  page, with direct links. If only for newbies who just like to try it out.

(Apologies to those offended, my intent is to offer constructive advice.)

darthdespotism:
Depends on which Linux distribution you use.

Debian & Ubuntu Pakages are very regularly available in nearly every Nightly Thread by one of the users. (Ubuntu Gutsy has a slightly out of date codeblocks in it's repos, you can aptitude install it directly)

IMO is there also an fairly up-to-date SuSE pakage available. For the others you will quite likely have to compile Codeblocks.

Remdul:
Sorry, I'm running Xubuntu.

@Philip: I appreciate the reply, but well...did you read my post? I'm looking for a file to download, not a link to a link...

That's all I've found so far. Do I really need to check every single thread in that list to see if there happens to be a linux package?

stahta01:
The Code::Blocks built binary are here
http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5358
But, I did not see any for Xubuntu.

Most likely look in the nightly threads for an User build or build from source.
