General instructions

The build requirements in the specfile and the source RPM are set to a minimum because there are two different names of the wxGTK packages (wxGTK and wxGTK2). 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 and its devel package
  2. wxGTK-xrc and its devel package (in some distributions included in the packages of point 1)

Compiling the Release Candidate 2

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

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

Compiling the CVS version

1. You need a fresh CVS version, no ./bootstrap or anything else should be done before in this directory !

2. add the directory codeblocks to an tar.gz archive named codeblocks-1.0-cvs.tar.gz

tar -czf codeblocks-1.0-cvs.tar.gz codeblocks

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

4. build the binary package as root with

rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/codeblocks.spec

5. the package will be in one of the subdirectories of /usr/src/packages/RPMS/

6. Install it and enjoy !

Use this as Specfile:
