Compilation of v. 8.02 on debian etch fails

[daniel_s]

Hello, I'm trying to compile CB 8.02 on debian 4.0. I built wxwidgets 2.8.7 from source and installed it to /usr/local. In the CB source dir I do "mkdir build; cd build", there I do ../configure --enable-contribs, which seems to work fine, but make aborts with the following error message:
...

I already found some posts on the forum related to autorevision where setting LANG=C in autorevision.ccp:108 is suggested, but that doesn't seem to apply to the current version any more. I guess my system isn't properly configured ...
Ah, and gcc -v:
Using built-in specs.

I didn't build wxwidgets like described in http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Linux, e.g. with explicit unicode option. But when I do, I get the same error, though.

You can try to delete "autorevision.h" (it will be recreated if you run "configure" again or on compile-time with default-values if you don't run "configure") and run "make" again.

By the way the correct parameter to build the contrib-plugins is "--with-contrib-plugins=all" (see "[.]./configure --help").

Thanks, that got me past the autorevision issue. Then, make was choking on a long list of missing dependencies, if I recall correctly. The configure command that finally allowed a successful build was, explicitly indicating the wxwidgets installation directory (although it seemed that the configuration got it right without that):
/configure --with-contrib-plugins=all --with-wx-prefix=/usr/local
Thanks again
Daniel
