Installing Code::Blocks from source on Solaris
From Code::Blocks
The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.
for Solaris 10 x86 and gcc
Note:
- for this tutorial, I've used a clean and new fresh installation of Solaris 10 6/6 with all package (but without any other software)
- If a command begin with a $, it 's the normal user otherwise with #, it's root
- this tutorial is not for a production server
- feel free to contact me ( murlock at free.fr ) for any problems
- you can find a french version [[1]]
Update 1 dec 2006 change --disable-compat24 to --enable-compat24, and remove change to bootstrap
wxWidgets
- Modifying PATH to incldue ar & create target directories for wxWidgets & CodeBlocks
$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin $ su # mkdir /usr/local # mkdir /usr/local/test_cb # chmod 777 /usr/local/test_cb # exit
- Download the 2.8.8 version ([wxALL]) of [wxWidgets]
- Uncompress in a directory (for exemple ~/prog/wxwidgets ) with
$ gunzip wxWidgets.tar.gz && tar xvf wxWidgets.tar
- Configure, compile & install of wxWidgets (in debug mode)
$ ./configure --with-gtk --enable-config --enable-protocols --enable-ftp --enable-http --enable-fileproto --enable-arcstream --enable-cmdline --enable-datetime --enable-ffile --enable-file --enable-filesystem --enable-fontmap --enable-fs_inet --enable-fs_zip --enable-log --enable-stdpaths --enable-stopwatch --enable-streams --enable-sysoptions --enable-textbuf --enable-textfile --enable-timer --enable-unicode --enable-html --enable-htmlhelp --enable-xrc --enable-constraints --enable-printarch --enable-mdi --enable-mdidoc --enable-loggui --enable-logwin --enable-logdialog --enable-protocol --enable-protocol-http --enable-protocol-ftp --enable-protocol-file --enable-threads --enable-docview --enable-help --enable-palette --enable-image --enable-gif --enable-pcx --enable-iff --enable-coldlg --enable-filedlg --enable-finddlg --enable-fontdlg --enable-dirdlg --enable-msgdlg --enable-numberdlg --enable-splash --enable-textdlg --enable-tipdlg --enable-progressdlg --enable-wizarddlg --enable-menus --enable-miniframe --enable-tooltips --enable-splines --enable-mousewheel --enable-validators --enable-busyinfo --enable-joystick --enable-dragimage --enable-palette --enable-image --enable-gif --enable-pcx --enable-iff --enable-pnm --enable-xpm --enable-clipboard --enable-dnd --enable-controls --enable-button --enable-bmpbutton --enable-calendar --enable-caret --enable-checkbox --enable-checklst --enable-choice --enable-choicebook --enable-combobox --enable-datepick --enable-display --enable-gauge --enable-grid --enable-imaglist --enable-listbook --enable-listbox --enable-listctrl --enable-notebook --enable-radiobox --enable-radiobtn --enable-sash --enable-scrollbar --enable-slider --enable-spinbtn --enable-spinctrl --enable-splitter --enable-statbmp --enable-statbox --enable-statline --enable-stattext --enable-statusbar --enable-tabdialog --enable-textctrl --enable-togglebtn --enable-toolbar --enable-tbarnative --enable-tbarsmpl --enable-treectrl --enable-tipwindow --enable-popupwin --enable-commondlg --enable-choicedlg --enable-debug --prefix=/usr/local/test_cb/ $ gmake && gmake install
prerequis
- Before playing with CodeBlocks, you have to install four softwares :
- from the Companion DVD Software of Sun (cf [to download them]),
- you need to install theses packages : SFWaconf, SFWamake, SFWltool (and pkgadd -d ) from Blastwave, Subversion (cf [the how to]) with
$ pkg-get -i subversion
- You have to check if ""/usr/sfw/lib/libstdc++.la"" is empty or not... If it's empty, you have to install the sun patch 123648-01 or following [correction sur ""libstdc++.la""]
CodeBlocks
- Go to a directory (for exemple ~/prog/codeblocks)
- Modify your PATH (for including automake, autoconf, libtool & wxWidgets) and M4 for wxWidgets
$ export PATH=$PATH:/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/local/test_cb/bin/ $ export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I `wx-config --prefix`/share/aclocal"
- Download the SVN version of CodeBlocks :
$ /opt/csw/bin/svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/codeblocks/trunk $ cd trunk
UPDATE: you don't have to do below anymore with svn (1 dec 2006)
- You have to remove thoses two lines from bootstrap :
export WANT_AUTOMAKE='1.7' export WANT_AUTOCONF='2.5'
- You have to correct Makefile with this [patch] :
in src/src/wxAUI/Makefile.am, add the following line
libwxaui_la_LDFLAGS = `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0`
before
libwxaui_la_SOURCES = manager.cpp
and in src/src/Makefile.am, please modify this line :
codeblocks_LDFLAGS =
to have that :
codeblocks_LDFLAGS = `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0`
- Configuring CodeBlocks :
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/test_cb/ --enable-debug $ gmake && gmake install
Try a registry repair tool too.
