Revision as of 08:30, 12 September 2006

This article describes how to install a nightly build of Code::Blocks.

NOTE: The nightly builds for Mac OS X are not official (just yet)

The packages are currently done infrequently, and not really "nightly".

Install the Developer Tools from Apple, if not included with Mac OS X.
- For Mac OS X 10.3, you need to install Xcode Tools version 1.2 or later
- For Mac OS X 10.4, you need to install Xcode Tools version 2.2 or later
Download the latest binary ZIP package of Code::Blocks, from BerliOS
- For Mac OS X 10.1 up to 10.3 (PPC), download the "macppc" version
- For Mac OS X 10.4 (PowerPC or Intel), download the "macx86" version
Unpack the zip file package, and put CodeBlocks.app where you like it.
- The suggested install location is under /Developer/Applications.
- wxWidgets (2.6.3-2, ANSI) is included in the application bundle.

 * Some items on the "Start Here" page do not work: new/open/recent
 * Open in console doesn't work with Terminal.app, only wxGTK/X11/xterm
+Not really bugs, but some things that might require extra setup:
 * The default package does not have developer files for wxWidgets
+* The wizards do not have all Mac tweaks to the generated code
