Installing Code::Blocks on Ubuntu 7.10

(1/2) > >>

LinuxNewb:
Hello,

Can somebody please tell me how to install Code::Blocks on my Linux machine (Ubuntu 7.10)?

It installed easily on my Mac, my Windows Vista PC, and on my Windows XP PC at work.
Why is it such a pain to get it running on Ubuntu?

I've downloaded the latest DEB packages but when I try to install them they say they are all dependent on eachother.
This should be a lot simpler than it is.

Anyway, I guess I'm just a bit frustrated right now. If someone could give me a hand, that would be great, because Code::Blocks is my favorite editor and the C++ tools I'm using now only work on Linux.

If you don't post the exact error -message it's hard to find out what really happens.

I guess you don't have the right version of wxWidgets installed.

Have you read "Note 2" on the download-page [edit]or and (for ubuntu-users who do not use gutsy)[/edit] the original wxWidgets-article about installing wxWidgets on ubuntu and debian ?

I tried recently to upgade my version of CB and was told that I needed wxwidgets 2.8 and 7.10 has package for 2.6 by default.

The "or" should be replaced by an "and", because you might need other packages, if you do not use gutsy (i will do so in my first post).

No more to say.

Edit:

Or use the repo provided by pasgui.
