== 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

In Fedora/CentOS, this can be done with:
<pre>
su -c 'yum groupinstall "Developer Tools"'
</pre>

==== Install newer autotools versions ====

TODO

If you have CentOS 3 or RHEL 3, you will need to rebuild "automake17" 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

=== Setup RPM environment ===

This has to be installed before starting:
* rpm-build

==== Non-root rpmbuild environment ====

<pre>
cd
echo "%_topdir $HOME/rpm" >> .rpmmacros
mkdir rpm
cd rpm
mkdir SPECS SOURCES BUILD RPMS SRPMS
</pre>

<pre>
RPM_TOPDIR=`rpm --eval %{_topdir}`
</pre>

=== 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:
# 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)

==== Build the wxGTK RPM from source (if needed) ====

TODO

* wxGTK.spec
* http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxGTK-2.6.3.tar.gz
* ftp://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.6.3/wxWidgets-2.6.3-Patch-2.tar.gz

=== Install Subversion client ===

This has to be installed before starting:
* subversion >= 1.4.0, (see [http://subversion.tigris.org subversion.tigris.org])

==== Build Subversion RPM from source (if needed) ====

TODO

* subversion.spec
* http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.4.0.tar.gz

== Install Code::Blocks ==

=== Download the Source RPM ===

1. Download the Source RPM from [https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads.shtml www.codeblocks.org/downloads.shtml]

==== Prepare SRPM package from SVN (if needed) ====

1. You need to get the latest sources from SVN [https://www.codeblocks.org/source_code.shtml www.codeblocks.org/source_code.shtml]

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 to the directory $RPM_TOPDIR/SOURCES 
 sudo mv codeblocks-trunk-r$REVISION.tar.gz $RPM_TOPDIR/SOURCES

5. build the source RPM
 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-1.0-***.src.rpm

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

These are:
* codeblocks: main package
* codeblocks-contrib: contrib plugins
* codeblocks-devel: SDK headers
* codeblocks-debuginfo: stripped debug information

=== Install the RPM package ===

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