first experience with nightly builds

(1/3) > >>

r.stiltskin:
I've been using (& loving) code::blocks 8.02 for a couple of weeks & would like to try upgrading with nightlies.  I have a few questions:

1:
I checked out #5010 and ran ./bootstrap.  It returned this message (I guess from automake):
You should add the contents of '/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to 'aclocal.m4'.
Really??  What does that mean -- I should append libtool.m4 to aclocal.m4?

2:
After I run ./configure and make, will "make install" (as root) just overwrite the existing ver. 8.02 files with any files that changed, or is there something else I have to do?
Will I still have the plugins that are installed in 8.02 or will I have to install them separately?

The instructions on the Nightly Builds forum seem to be for Windows only.
The only CURRENT Linux-relevant instructions I found were here:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Linux
Is there anything else I should read as an introduction to the current nightly-build setup?

You can ignore that most of the times.

if you run configure with "--prefix=/usr" then it will overwrite 8.02. By default (i.e. if you don't pass that option) it installs under /usr/local.

As for the plugins, if you want to build them all, you need to pass "--with-contrib-plugins=all" in the configure command line.
Really, just type "./configure --help"...

r.stiltskin:
Thanks.  I ran configure using "--with-contrib-plugins=all" & let it install to /usr/local.

make install seemed to compled successfully, but the debugger and the codesnippets plugins were not installed.  When I open code::blocks there is an warning pop-up saying that one or more plugins were not loaded, listing libdebugger.so and libcodesnippets.so & saying "check the application log" for more information, and something about them being built for a different version of Code::Blocks.

Which log?  I can't find any *codeblocks*.log in /var/log or in /usr/local.

Did I omit something, or is something wrong with the nightly?

ouch:
did you run the batch file to finalize the compilation process?
