<hr />
<div>=== General instructions ===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
This has to be installed:<br />
# wxGTK and its devel package<br />
# wxGTK-xrc and its devel package (in some distributions included in the packages of point 1)<br />
<br />
=== Compiling the Release Candidate 2 ===<br />
<br />
1. Download the source RPM from [https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads.shtml www.codeblocks.org/downloads.shtml]<br />
<br />
2. Build the binary package as root<br />
rpmbuild --rebuild codeblocks-1.0-rc2.src.rpm<br />
<br />
3. The binary RPM should be in one of the subdirectories of /usr/src/packages/RPMS<br />
<br />
=== Compiling the CVS version ===<br />
<br />
1. You need a fresh CVS version, no ./bootstrap or anything else should be done before in this directory !<br />
<br />
2. add the directory codeblocks to an tar.gz archive named codeblocks-1.0-cvs.tar.gz<br />
tar -czf codeblocks-1.0-cvs.tgz codeblocks<br />
<br />
3. copy the archive in the directory /usr/src/packages/SOURCES and the Specfile to /usr/src/packages/SPECS/codeblocks.spec <br />
<br />
4. build the binary package as root with<br />
rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/codeblocks.spec<br />
<br />
5. the package will be in one of the subdirectories of /usr/src/packages/RPMS/<br />
<br />
6. Install it and enjoy !<br />
