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: 

su -c 'yum groupinstall "Developer Tools"'

Newer autotools versions

TODO

Setup RPM environment

This has to be installed before starting:

  • rpm-build

Non-root rpmbuild environment

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

RPM_TOPDIR=`rpm --eval %{_topdir}`

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:

  1. wxGTK >= 2.6.0 and its devel package (see wxwidgets.org)
  2. wxGTK-xrc and its devel package (in some distributions included in the packages of point 1)

Build the wxGTK RPM from source

TODO

Install Subversion client

This has to be installed before starting:

Build Subversion RPM from source

TODO

Install Code::Blocks

Prepare the Source RPM

1. Download the Source RPM from www.codeblocks.org/downloads.shtml

Prepare SRPM package from SVN

1. You need to get the latest sources from SVN 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!
