[[Category:Installing Code::Blocks from source]]


The build requirements in the source RPM are set to a minimum. So it isn't checked whether wxGTK is installed or not. So you have to take a look at it yourself.
== Install Requirements ==
 
Note: Code::Blocks requires GTK+ 2.x. Older distributions might only support GTK+ 1.x.
 
Upgrading GTK+ is beyond the scope of this document, easier to upgrade distribution ?
 
=== Install Development Tools ===
 
This has to be installed before starting:
* zip
* update-desktop-files (only on SUSE)
* make
* gettext
* autoconf >= 2.5
* automake >= 1.7
* libtool >= 1.4
* m4
* intltool
* gcc-c++
* libstdc++-devel
 
In Fedora/CentOS, this can be done with:
<pre>
su -c 'yum groupinstall "Development Tools"'
su -c 'yum install intltool'
</pre>
 
==== Install newer autotools versions (if needed) ====
 
If you have CentOS 3 or RHEL 3, you will need to rebuild "automake17" to use instead of automake-1.6:
* ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/4/en/os/i386/SRPMS/automake17-1.7.9-5.src.rpm
<pre>
rpmbuild --rebuild automake17-1.7.9-5.src.rpm
</pre>
 
Then you need to invoke bootstrap like this, both on the commandline and in codeblocks.spec:
<pre>
AUTOMAKE=automake-1.7 ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.7 ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/share/aclocal" ./bootstrap
</pre>
 
=== Setup RPM environment ===
 
This has to be installed before starting:
* rpm-build
 
The top work directory for RPM varies between distributions and setups, but you can find your RPM top dir by setting a variable like:
 
<pre>
RPM_TOPDIR=`rpm --eval %{_topdir}`
echo $RPM_TOPDIR
</pre>
 
==== Non-root rpmbuild environment (recommended) ====
 
It is recommended that you don't use the root account to build packages, here is how you set up a minimal user build environment:
 
<pre>
cd
mkdir rpm
echo "%_topdir $HOME/rpm" >> .rpmmacros
mkdir /tmp/$USER/rpm
echo "%_tmppath /tmp/$USER/rpm" >> .rpmmacros
cd rpm
mkdir SPECS SOURCES BUILD RPMS SRPMS
RPM_TOPDIR=`rpm --eval %{_topdir}`
</pre>
 
You can now build packages without being root (assuming that the spec files are correct). You will still need root access to install.
 
=== Install wxWidgets 2.6.x ===
 
''Note: the following section on the required version is out of date; please ''do'' use from the 2.8 branch.''
 
The build requirements in the source RPM are set to a minimum. So it isn't checked whether wxGTK is installed or not. So you have to take a look at it yourself. Note that currently Code::Blocks requires wxWidgets '''2.6''', not 2.8! So if your distribution only provides packages for wxWidgets 2.8, you need to build wxWidgets 2.6 yourself.


This has to be installed:
This has to be installed:
# wxGTK and its devel package
# wxGTK >= 2.6.0 and its devel package (see [http://wxwidgets.org wxwidgets.org])
# wxGTK-xrc and its devel package (in some distributions included in the packages of point 1)
# wxGTK-xrc and its devel package (in some distributions included in the packages of point 1)


=== Compiling the Release Candidate 2 ===

== Install Code::Blocks ==
 
=== Download the Source RPM ===
 
1. Download the Source RPM from [https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/source www.codeblocks.org/downloads/source]
 
''Note: SRPM's are for the last stable (10.05); the SVN branch includes the many improvements since then.''
<!-- <span style="color:red">Note: the SRPM is currently unavailable (latest version being the old RC2), use SVN:</span> -->
 
==== Prepare SRPM package from SVN (if needed) ====
 
1. You need to get the latest sources from SVN [https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/svn www.codeblocks.org/downloads/svn]


1. Download the source RPM from [https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads.shtml www.codeblocks.org/downloads.shtml]
svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/codeblocks/trunk


2. Build the binary package as root
2. go into ''trunk'', if you haven't already done it.
rpmbuild --rebuild codeblocks-1.0-rc2.src.rpm


3. The binary RPM should be in one of the subdirectories of /usr/src/packages/RPMS
3. run these three commands in this order
./bootstrap
./configure
make dist
the last one will create a .tar.gz archive that contains the sources.


=== Compiling the CVS/SVN version ===
4. copy the archive to the directory $RPM_TOPDIR/SOURCES
sudo mv codeblocks-trunk-r*.tar.gz $RPM_TOPDIR/SOURCES


1. You need a fresh CVS/SVN version, no ./bootstrap or anything else should be done before in this directory !
5. build the source RPM, or copy spec to $RPM_TOPDIR/SPECS
rpmbuild -bs codeblocks.spec


2. add the directory codeblocks to an tar.gz archive named codeblocks-1.0-cvs.tar.gz
This will create a source package in the directory $RPM_TOPDIR/SRPMS/.
tar -czf codeblocks-1.0-cvs.tgz codeblocks


3. copy the archive in the directory /usr/src/packages/SOURCES and the Specfile to /usr/src/packages/SPECS/codeblocks.spec
=== Build the RPM package ===


4. build the binary package as root with
1. Build the binary package
  rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/codeblocks.spec
  rpmbuild --rebuild codeblocks*.src.rpm


5. the package will be in one of the subdirectories of /usr/src/packages/RPMS/
This will create several packages in one of the architecture specific subdirectories (i386, x86_64, ppc, ...) of $RPM_TOPDIR/RPMS/.


6. Install it and enjoy !
These are:
* codeblocks: main package
* codeblocks-contrib: contrib plugins
* codeblocks-devel: SDK headers
* codeblocks-contrib-devel: headers for contrib-plugins (wxSmith etc.)
* codeblocks-debuginfo: stripped debug information

Install Requirements

Note: Code::Blocks requires GTK+ 2.x. Older distributions might only support GTK+ 1.x.

Upgrading GTK+ is beyond the scope of this document, easier to upgrade distribution ?

Install Development Tools

This has to be installed before starting:

  • zip
  • update-desktop-files (only on SUSE)
  • make
  • gettext
  • autoconf >= 2.5
  • automake >= 1.7
  • libtool >= 1.4
  • m4
  • intltool
  • gcc-c++
  • libstdc++-devel

In Fedora/CentOS, this can be done with: 

su -c 'yum groupinstall "Development Tools"'
su -c 'yum install intltool'

Install newer autotools versions (if needed)

If you have CentOS 3 or RHEL 3, you will need to rebuild "automake17" to use instead of automake-1.6: 

rpmbuild --rebuild automake17-1.7.9-5.src.rpm

Then you need to invoke bootstrap like this, both on the commandline and in codeblocks.spec: 

AUTOMAKE=automake-1.7 ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.7 ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/share/aclocal" ./bootstrap

Setup RPM environment

This has to be installed before starting:

  • rpm-build

The top work directory for RPM varies between distributions and setups, but you can find your RPM top dir by setting a variable like: 

RPM_TOPDIR=`rpm --eval %{_topdir}`
echo $RPM_TOPDIR

Non-root rpmbuild environment (recommended)

It is recommended that you don't use the root account to build packages, here is how you set up a minimal user build environment: 

cd
mkdir rpm
echo "%_topdir $HOME/rpm" >> .rpmmacros
mkdir /tmp/$USER/rpm
echo "%_tmppath /tmp/$USER/rpm" >> .rpmmacros
cd rpm
mkdir SPECS SOURCES BUILD RPMS SRPMS
RPM_TOPDIR=`rpm --eval %{_topdir}`

You can now build packages without being root (assuming that the spec files are correct). You will still need root access to install.

Install wxWidgets 2.6.x

Note: the following section on the required version is out of date; please do use from the 2.8 branch.

The build requirements in the source RPM are set to a minimum. So it isn't checked whether wxGTK is installed or not. So you have to take a look at it yourself. Note that currently Code::Blocks requires wxWidgets 2.6, not 2.8! So if your distribution only provides packages for wxWidgets 2.8, you need to build wxWidgets 2.6 yourself.

This has to be installed:

  1. wxGTK >= 2.6.0 and its devel package (see wxwidgets.org)
  2. wxGTK-xrc and its devel package (in some distributions included in the packages of point 1)

In later Fedora, this can be done with: 

su -c 'yum install wxGTK-devel'

Build the wxGTK RPM from source (if needed)

Install Code::Blocks

Download the Source RPM

1. Download the Source RPM from www.codeblocks.org/downloads/source

Note: SRPM's are for the last stable (10.05); the SVN branch includes the many improvements since then.

Prepare SRPM package from SVN (if needed)

1. You need to get the latest sources from SVN www.codeblocks.org/downloads/svn 

svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/codeblocks/trunk

2. go into trunk, if you haven't already done it.

3. run these three commands in this order 

./bootstrap
./configure
make dist

the last one will create a .tar.gz archive that contains the sources.

4. copy the archive to the directory $RPM_TOPDIR/SOURCES 

sudo mv codeblocks-trunk-r*.tar.gz $RPM_TOPDIR/SOURCES

5. build the source RPM, or copy spec to $RPM_TOPDIR/SPECS 

rpmbuild -bs codeblocks.spec

This will create a source package in the directory $RPM_TOPDIR/SRPMS/.

Build the RPM package

1. Build the binary package 

rpmbuild --rebuild codeblocks*.src.rpm

This will create several packages in one of the architecture specific subdirectories (i386, x86_64, ppc, ...) of $RPM_TOPDIR/RPMS/.

These are:
