Title: Linux Debian Codeblocks
Post by: Ryan N. May on August 21, 2015, 07:26:34 am
Hey Guys,
I have downloaded the binary release for debian code-blocks and i am unsure how to install it, when extracting the file i do get a series of .deb files to install using the package manager. although i am unsure if this is the correct way to install as I'm new to linux. also, when running the package manager on the deb files it says it failed to install.

please
help <3

THANK YOU :P :D ;D :-[ :'( :-\

If you try to use the 13.12release-files,  it will not work out of the box on stable or newer Debian, because they abandoned wxWidgets < 3 .
You can try the nightlies from my repo (see signature), but they use wx3 and might still have some issues.
To use the 13.12 release-files you need wxWidgets from old-stable.

You can download directly the packages that codeblocks-13.12release  depends on:

libwxbase2.8-0
libwxgtk2.8-0

from any debian mirror ; they are in pool/main/w/wxwidgets2.8/

( ex : ftp://debian.ens-cachan.fr/debian/pool/main/w/wxwidgets2.8 )

instead of adding oldstable to your /etc/apt/sources.list file
