Installing Code::Blocks from source on RPM based distributions
From Code::Blocks
Compiling the CVS version
1. You need a fresh CVS version, no ./bootstrap or anything else should be done before in this directory !
2. add the directory codeblocks to an tar.gz archive named codeblocks-1.0-cvs.tar.gz
tar -czf codeblocks-1.0-cvs.tar.gz codeblocks
3. copy the archive in the directory /usr/src/packages/SOURCES and the Specfile to /usr/src/packages/SPECS/codeblocks.spec
4. build the binary package as root with
rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/codeblocks.spec
5. the package will be in one of the subdirectories of /usr/src/packages/RPMS/
6. Install it and enjoy !
