Title: Mandriva 2007 and C::B, possible?
Post by: dokteurping on March 28, 2007, 09:11:27 pm

Hello everybody!
I'm not english but i'll try to be clear...
i'm running on mandriva 2007. i already used C::B and i think it's a powerful and very light IDE (or EDI i don't know which one i have tu use it!  :) )  i can't install it on my mandriva 2007! I've tried to install it on an ubuntu 6.10 and i did it! So, i think it's not impossible and i want to use c::b on linux.
There is my question: How can i install C::B on my mandriva 2007?
Thanks,
Greetings to you

I guess that nobody has a solution. I know that mandriva is the worst distro for installing C::B. If someone has a solution, i'll try it but, i'll ask for another thing, how can i compile the sources? i've tried monday and i couldn't.
Thanks!

Only an hour and twenty minutes after posting on an internet forum, you had already given up on getting an answer? Your expectations are far too high.

I'm not currently running C::B under any form of Linux, but I've heard that it's a mainly a matter of boostrap, configure, make, and make install. I believe the Wiki (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Main_Page) has some good information on building from source.

No precompiled package will work in Mandriva, but if you recompile the SVN sources by yourself I'm quite sure you won't have any problem. I suggest you to compile wxGTK2.6 from sources too before doing anything else, because I tried some precompiled packages under slackware and I've got several problems when making the Codeblocks sources.

So, follow the WIKI instructions to compile wxGTK from sources, and then the SVN source code of Codeblocks, and it will work, because this applies to all distros!!  :D

I suggest not compiling the wxGTK packages from source.  The standard Ubuntu packages work fine and that is what all the Ubuntu nightly builds are built against.  If you are new to whole compiling from source thing, Code::Blocks will be enough to handle.  Just install the wxGTK packages (including the developement ones) from the Mandriva repository.
