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), no ./bootstrap or anything else should be done before in this directory !
2. Get SVN revision number. You can see it in the last line after checking out (the number after "Revision:") or when you are in the root directory of the SVN with:
svn info | grep Revision | cut -c 11-
3. add the directory codeblocks to an tgz archive named codeblocks-1.0-svn.$SVNREVISION.tgz (replace $SVNREVISION with the number you got)
tar -czf codeblocks-1.0-svn.$SVNREVISION.tgz codeblocks
4. copy the archive as root to the directory /usr/src/packages/SOURCES and the Specfile to /usr/src/packages/SPECS/codeblocks.spec (you can name the specfile however you want)
5. Add SVN revision behind "_svnrev" in the first line.
6. build the binary package as root with
rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/codeblocks.spec
7. the package will be in one of the subdirectories of /usr/src/packages/RPMS/
8. Install it and enjoy Code::Blocks!
Use this as specfile:
%define _svnrev
%define req_wxgtk 2.6.0
%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)
