Title: linux config file
Post by: grv575 on September 09, 2005, 08:47:25 pm

If I did just ./configure without a --prefix flag, then where should I expect the codeblocks configuration information to be (ran just ./codeblocks with no flags) -- should there be a config file in /usr/local/share/codeblocks?

If you ommit the --prefix switch, the default installation path is set to /usr/local.
If you 're asking if it's possible to ./configure, make and run codeblocks without installing it (make install), you can't. The datafiles, plugins etc are put together on installation.

I have /usr/local/share/codeblocks/
What's the configuration filename on Linux?

If you 're talking about the config file used by codeblocks, currently it is "~/.Code::Blocks 1.0".
This is created automatically by wxConfig (which uses the registry under windows).
But there are plans to change it:

• For windows, use a file in the user's home dir instead of the registry.
• For unix, support /etc/codeblocks.conf, ~/.codeblocks with the latter overriding the former.

OK, forgot to check for dot files.   :?

I installed with ./configure --prefix=/opt/codeblocksd --enable-debug && make && make install
run with: cd /opt/codeblocksd/bin; ./codeblocks
and get (see pic):
