Title: Download for Ubuntu Gutsy
Post by: maxcelpc on November 07, 2007, 08:16:36 pm

I am new to Linux and need to be able to program in C++.
I came across code::blocks in my search for an IDE and it appears to be well regarded.
My real problem is, how on earth do I get a download?
I keep getting sent round in circles and always end up in the forum board=20, but I cannot see a download button anywhere!

Perhaps look here: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5358

There are packages for Ubuntu6.10+7.04 near the bottom of the page, they may work on 7.10 too.

There are no "official"-builds for linux at the moment.

If you read the actual nightly-threads you might come to this (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,7220.msg55149.html#msg55149) one.

Hi
For a more recent version, you can follow this link (http://lgp203.free.fr/spip/spip.php?article1).

Good luck

If you read the nightly build announcement threads, jens builds Code::Blocks for Ubuntu 6.10 through 7.10, and provides links to his repository.  I know he has a build up for the 4 November 2007 nightly (the lastest as of now), and his post is the second one in the thread.

It's not me who makes builds for Ubuntu, it's pasgui. I have builds for the three main debian suites.

Oops... sorry y'all  :oops:

I'm a Gentoo user, so I don't read all the Debian-related stuffs as closly as I should. >.<

I followed Xaviou's link, sorted out which was applicable to my distro and am now up and running.
Thank you all for your input, it was all helpful and has given me an insight on how the community works.

I don't know if this questions fits here but I've been very disappointed with the Code::blocks version for Linux (I use Gutsy now), first of all, I already have SVN 3989 installed, and I love it,  however, like everybody else I'd love to be up to speed with the latest CB. Anyway, here's my problem: I've already added the packages to my conf files for Ubuntu like Pasgui suggested on his website, I then type the whole sudo aptget bla-bla-bla and the computer tells me this:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libcodeblocks0: Depends: libwxgtk2.8-0 (>= 2.8.6) but 2.8.4.0-0ubuntu3 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I then go to his website and download the .deb files, when I try to install the libcodeblocks0 it tells me: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libwxgtk2.8-0, I then try to install the libwxgtk2.8-0 (downloaded from their site) and I get a message saying that I already have a later version, and if I try to install the package libwsmithlib0 from Pasgui's site it errros out saying that libcodeblocks0 cannot be installed.
Is there a way for me to go around this? I really liked when all we had to do was to download ONE .deb file that would take care of everything, yes I am new to all of this and I can't understand why we're making things so complicated! The windows version you just download the 7zip file and the 2 Dll's and you're done, is there a way for us to simplify the Ubuntu version?? thanks you all!!!

Hi

Code

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libcodeblocks0: Depends: libwxgtk2.8-0 (>= [color=orange][b]2.8.6[/b][/color]) but 2.8.4.0-0ubuntu3 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I think you've installed wxWidgets libs from the Ubuntu official repositories.

You will have to add wxWidgets repository, and you will be able to obtain the las "2.8.6" version of the libs :
Instructions for this can be found (http://wiki.wxpython.org/InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian) here.

Hope it will help you...
