Install Requirements
Note: Code::Blocks requires GTK+ 2.x. Older distributions might only support GTK+ 1.x.
Upgrading GTK+ is beyond the scope of this document, easier to upgrade distribution ?
Install Development 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:
su -c 'yum groupinstall "Development Tools"' su -c 'yum install intltool'
Install newer autotools versions (if needed)
If you have CentOS 3 or RHEL 3, you will need to rebuild "automake17" to use instead of automake-1.6:
rpmbuild --rebuild automake17-1.7.9-5.src.rpm
Then you need to invoke bootstrap like this, both on the commandline and in codeblocks.spec:
AUTOMAKE=automake-1.7 ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.7 ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/share/aclocal" ./bootstrap
Setup RPM environment
This has to be installed before starting:
- rpm-build
The top work directory for RPM varies between distributions and setups, but you can find your RPM top dir by setting a variable like:
RPM_TOPDIR=`rpm --eval %{_topdir}`
echo $RPM_TOPDIR
Non-root rpmbuild environment (recommended)
It is recommended that you don't use the root account to build packages, here is how you set up a minimal user build environment:
cd
mkdir rpm
echo "%_topdir $HOME/rpm" >> .rpmmacros
mkdir /tmp/$USER/rpm
echo "%_tmppath /tmp/$USER/rpm" >> .rpmmacros
cd rpm
mkdir SPECS SOURCES BUILD RPMS SRPMS
RPM_TOPDIR=`rpm --eval %{_topdir}`
You can now build packages without being root (assuming that the spec files are correct). You will still need root access to install.
Install wxWidgets 2.6.x
Note: the following section on the required version is out of date; please do use from the 2.8 branch.
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. Note that currently Code::Blocks requires wxWidgets 2.6, not 2.8! So if your distribution only provides packages for wxWidgets 2.8, you need to build wxWidgets 2.6 yourself.
This has to be installed:
- wxGTK >= 2.6.0 and its devel package (see wxwidgets.org)
- wxGTK-xrc and its devel package (in some distributions included in the packages of point 1)
In later Fedora, this can be done with:
su -c 'yum install wxGTK-devel'
Build the wxGTK RPM from source (if needed)
TODO
- 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
- http://www.algonet.se/~afb/wx/wxGTK.spec

- wx-i18n-2.6.3.0.2-1.i386.rpm
Install Subversion client
This has to be installed before starting:
- subversion >= 1.4.0, (see subversion.tigris.org)
Binary packages for Red Hat Linux 9, Fedora Core 1, CentOS 3, CentOS 4 at:
http://the.earth.li/pub/subversion/summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/
In later Fedora, this can be done with:
su -c 'yum install subversion'
Build Subversion RPM from source (if needed)
TODO
- http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.4.2.tar.gz
- packages/rpm/rhel-3/subversion.spec (CentOS 3)
- packages/rpm/rhel-4/subversion.spec (CentOS 4)
RPMS
- subversion-1.4.2-1.i386.rpm
- subversion-devel-1.4.2-1.i386.rpm
- subversion-perl-1.4.2-1.i386.rpm
- subversion-python-1.4.2-1.i386.rpm
- subversion-tools-1.4.2-1.i386.rpm
- subversion-debuginfo-1.4.2-1.i386.rpm
Install Code::Blocks
Download the Source RPM
1. Download the Source RPM from www.codeblocks.org/downloads/source
Note: SRPM's are for the last stable (10.05); the SVN branch includes the many improvements since then.
Prepare SRPM package from SVN (if needed)
1. You need to get the latest sources from SVN www.codeblocks.org/downloads/svn
svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/codeblocks/trunk
2. go into trunk, if you haven't already done it.
3. run these three commands in this order
./bootstrap ./configure 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*.tar.gz $RPM_TOPDIR/SOURCES
5. build the source RPM, or copy spec to $RPM_TOPDIR/SPECS
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*.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-contrib-devel: headers for contrib-plugins (wxSmith etc.)
- 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!
su -c 'rpm -Uvh codeblocks-1.0*.i386.rpm'
