Title: Is the Debian package broken?
Post by: Virchanza on July 12, 2009, 05:31:15 am

My Linux distribution is Backtrack 4 (based on Ubuntu).

I did:

apt-get install codeblocks

After Codeblocks was installed, I used the wizard to create a wxWidgets project, but neither wxSmith nor wxFormBuilder were installed. Is this normal?

To get it working, I had to do:

apt-get install codeblocks-contrib
apt-get install wxformbuilder

By the way, there's one other problem. If you select "Use Unicode Libraries" when in the wxWidgets wizard, it produces a broken project, in that the compiler flags and linker flags necessary for wxWidgets are missing from the project's Build Options.

I went to my "/var/cache/apt/archives" folder, and here are the names of the relevant Debian packages:
codeblocks_8.02-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
codeblocks-contrib_8.02-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
libcodeblocks0_8.02-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
libwxbase2.8-dev_2.8.8.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
libwxgtk2.8-dev_2.8.8.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
libwxsmithlib0_8.02-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
wx2.8-headers_2.8.8.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
wx-common_2.8.8.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
wxformbuilder_3.0.57-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

Yes !!

wxFormBuilder is an own project, not related to Code::Blocks and wxSmith is (and was always) part of the contrib-plugins.

And if you read the package description, you can see this.
