If you're compiling the svn trunk versions of CodeBlocks (or future versions) then the unix build has switched to autotools. (if you do not have automake, then you will get 'cannot find aclocal' error). If you are a Gentoo user at this point, please see Compiling_Code::Blocks_in_Gentoo.īefore beginning, it is often a good idea to check you have recent versions of autoconf and automake - repositories versions are not always recent enough.

Change to the source code directory, by issuing the following command: Then checkout the source using one of these methods. NOTICE: The SourceForge CVS is no longer used although it still exists. You can get Code::Blocks source code from the website as a tarball or from the SVN repository (this second method is described below). Now the linker will look in /opt/wx/2.8/lib for wx libraries and you will have a monolithic shared library unicode build.Ĭode::Blocks installation Getting Code::Blocks sources An example PATH:Įxport PATH=/usr/bin:/opt/wx/2.8/bin:$PATHĪdd /opt/wx/2.8/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf (nano /etc/ld.so.conf), then run: (On Suse 10.1 edit /etc/profile.local, it will only be available after a new login). Mkdir build_gtk2_shared_monolithic_unicodeĪdd /opt/wx/2.8/bin to the PATH (if your shell is bash then edit /etc/profile or ~/.bash_profile)

This doesn't appear to be the case, so these flags are passed to configure: The documentation says the default is for gtk2 to use unicode and wx > 2.5 to build as a monolithic library. Here we will create a separate build directory instead of building from the src directory, so that we can easily rebuild with different options (unicode / ansi, monolithic / many libs, etc).

After the download finishes, switch to ~/devel: Under wxWidgets 2.8.7 downloads, select wxGTK. Click the 'Download' button at the top of the page. $ update-alternatives -install /usr/bin/wx-config wx-config /opt/wx/2.8/bin/wx-config 50 Getting wxGTK sources To see which version of libwx is there or not and currently active.Īnd, Debian and Ubuntu user can use this to add a value to the list of choices Note for Debian and Ubuntu users: You can use

If you don't find any packages you must install the library from source as described below, and you can redo this check afterwards to verify that the installation worked correctly. $ ls /usr/lib/libwx_gtk* //to verify the presence If you find the libraries uninstalled, just install them and go directly to Code::Blocks installation.Īlternatively you can do the same in the command line (the following is an example, there may be more than two packages): In your package manager, look for 'libwxgtk' keyword and verify that all libwxgtk2.8 stuffs are installed. Library wxGTK installation Checking the presence of libwxGTK library If you don't want to loose time, you can even forget this check since there is a good probability that everything is already installed. Alternatively, do a search with your package manager or go to your Linux distribution forum for help. Have a look in /usr/lib ( /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu for 64 bits) for something like 'libgtk-x11-2.0.so' (Note the library must be 2.0 minimum). Mkdir ~/devel Checking the presence of GTK+ library If you 'll be using a different one, adjust the path to match. Note: All the instructions below, assume an existing directory named ~/devel. GTK+ is probably installed on your Linux anyway, so don't worry ) This document helps you to install libwxGTK if necessary but does not cover the installation of GTK+. This creates an additional dependency on GTK+, consider the following:Ī possible implementation which does not exist:Ĭode::Blocks -> xwWidget (> libwxGTK2.8) -> GTK+ (> libgtk-x11-2.0) -> X The exact requirement is libwxGTK-2.8.0 or later (2.8.3 is not recommended because of some troubles). Hence Code::Blocks uses wxGTK, the version of wxWidget based on GTK+. However this library is sub-par compared to other toolkits and unstable. wxWidget can be used directly on top of the X server, in this case the variant of the wxWidget library is called wxX11. For most Linux users, this is maybe the only dependency not already installed. In order to successfully compile Code::Blocks, the wxWidgets User Interface library must be installed. 3.1 Checking the presence of libwxGTK library.2 Checking the presence of GTK+ library.
