building and installing on kubuntu from SVN

Hello,

I have just download code blocks for linux using the SVN. I have downloaded all the files in a codeblock folder in my home directory.

I am using Kubuntu 7.10

However, now that I have all these files. I am wondering what are the steps to build the codeblock and successfully install it.

Thanks,

The easiest way on debian-systems (or systems basing on debian like [K]ubuntu) is to use the standard package-build system.
Install package "dpkg-dev" if it is not yet on your system.
Go to the root directory of your C::B-sources and type "./bootstrap" and then "dpkg-buildpackage".
If the second command shows you some errors about build dependencies, install the missing packages with "apt-get install <package-name>".
If only the dependencies for "libstdc++6-4"-dev-package  are not fullfilled, but you have either "libstdc++6-4.1-dev", "libstdc++6-4.2-dev" or "libstdc++6-4.3-dev" installed ypou can run "dpkg-buildpackage" with the "-d" switch to overwrite this dependency, or change the "debian/control"-file. But that can be dangerous if you don't know exactly what you do.

Don't overwrite other dependencies and only overwrite this one if at least one "libstdc++6-4"-dev package is installed.

You will also need the ubuntu-wxWidgets-packages from wxWidgets.org if no wxWidgets 2.8.7 is available on an other way for kubuntu ( I don't know that) look here how to fetch them.

Or use one of the precompiled packages either from pasguis repo (Ubuntu packages) or from mine (see signature, should also work on [K]ubuntu).

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

During building I got these errors:
~/codeblocks/trunk$ ./bootstrap dpkg-buildpackage
You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
configure.in:77: warning: macro `AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG' not found in library
configure.in:78: warning: macro `AM_PATH_WXCONFIG' not found in library
configure.in:9: installing `./missing'
configure.in:9: installing `./install-sh'
src/base/tinyxml/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
configure.in:77: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.in:78: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_WXCONFIG

The version number I downloaded from the svn was 506,

Maybe I need more time to take a look at this.

Any advice would be helpfull.

Thanks

Have you installed wxWidgets dev-packages ?

EDIT:

you will also need "wx-common".
It seems the dev-packages do not depend on it, but the ".m4"-file defining the missing macros is part of it.

Hi,

You need to install : libwxgtk2.8-dev, wx-common.

Regards, pasgui
