TODO: the builds should not be done as root

Install Requirements

Install Developer 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

Setup RPM environment

This has to be installed before starting:

  • rpm-build

Install wxWidgets 2.6.x

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.

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)

Install Subversion client

This has to be installed before starting:

Install Code::Blocks

Prepare the SVN version

1. You need to get the latest sources from SVN (described here Compiling_Code::Blocks_in_Linux_(applies_to_all_distros)#Getting_the_latest_sources_from_SVN)

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

3. run these three commands in this order 

./bootstrap
./configure --enable-contrib
make dist

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

4. copy the archive as root to the directory /usr/src/packages/SOURCES 

sudo mv codeblocks-trunk-r$REVISION.tar.gz /usr/src/packages/SOURCES

Prepare the Release Candidate

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

Build the package

2. Build the binary package as root 

rpmbuild --rebuild codeblocks-1.0-rc2.src.rpm

3. The binary RPM should be in one of the subdirectories of /usr/src/packages/RPMS

5. build the binary packages as root with 

sudo rpmbuild -bb codeblocks.spec

This will create several packages in one of the architecture specific subdirectories (i586, x86_64, ...) of /usr/src/packages/RPMS/. These are:

  • codeblocks: main package
  • codeblocks-contrib: contrib plugins
  • codeblocks-devel: SDK headers
  • codeblocks-debuginfo: stripped debug information

Install the package

Install the packages you want (usually codeblocks and codeblocks-contrib) and enjoy Code::Blocks!
