Installing Code::Blocks from source on RPM based distributions
General instructions
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 and its devel package
- wxGTK-xrc and its devel package (in some distributions included in the packages of point 1)
Compiling the Release Candidate 2
1. Download the source RPM from www.codeblocks.org/downloads.shtml
2. Build the binary package as root
rpmbuild --rebuild codeblocks-1.0-rc2.src.rpm
3. The binary RPM should be in one of the subdirectories of /usr/src/packages/RPMS
Compiling the CVS/SVN version
1. You need a fresh CVS/SVN version (described here Compiling_Code::Blocks_in_Linux_(applies_to_all_distros)#Getting_the_latest_sources_from_SVN, but don't cd into the directory trunk), no ./bootstrap or anything else should be done before in this directory !
2. Rename the directory trunk to codeblocks. Stay in the directory above codeblocks.
3. Get SVN revision number. You can see it in the last line after checking out (the number after "Revision:") or SVN with:
svn info codeblocks/ | grep Revision | cut -c 11-
4. add the directory codeblocks to an tgz archive named codeblocks-1.0-svn.$SVNREVISION.tgz (replace $SVNREVISION with the number you got)
tar -czf codeblocks-1.0_0.svn.$SVNREVISION.tgz codeblocks
5. copy the archive as root to the directory /usr/src/packages/SOURCES
6. copy the Specfile beneath, add the SVN revision number behind "_svnrev" (between "_svnrev" and the number has to be at least one space character) in the first line and save it as root to /usr/src/packages/SPECS/codeblocks.spec (you can name the specfile however you want)
7. build the binary package as root with
rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/codeblocks.spec
8. the package will be in one of the subdirectories of /usr/src/packages/RPMS/
9. Install it and enjoy Code::Blocks!
Use this as specfile:
%define _svnrev
%define req_wxgtk 2.6.0
%define _fedora %(if [ -f /etc/fedora-release ]; then echo 1; else echo 0; fi)
%define _suse %(if [ -f /etc/SuSE-release ]; then echo 1; else echo 0; fi)
%define _mandriva %(if [ -f /etc/mandrake-release ]; then echo 1; else echo 0; fi)
%define _version 1.0_0.svn.%{_svnrev}
%define _rel 0
%define _release %{_rel}
%if %_suse
%define _suse_version %(grep VERSION /etc/SuSE-release|cut -f3 -d" ")
%define _suse_vernum %(echo "%_suse_version"|tr -d '.')
%define _release %{_rel}.suse%{_suse_vernum}
%define _distribution SuSE Linux %_suse_version
%define _sysconfdir /etc%{_prefix}
%endif
%if %_mandriva
%define _mandriva_version %(cat /etc/mandriva-release|cut -f4 -d" ")
%define _mandriva_vernum %(echo "%_mandriva_version"|tr -d '.')
%define _release %{_rel}.mdk%{_mandriva_vernum}
%define _distribution %(cat /etc/mandriva-release|cut -f1-4 -d" ")
%endif
%if %_fedora
%define _release %{_rel}.fc+rh
%define _distribution %(cat /etc/redhat-release)
%endif
