I'm about to switch to Ubuntu 12.10 and I was just wondering what the equivalent of the Window's "codeblocks-12.11mingw-setup.exe" file was for Ubuntu 64 bit?
apt-get install codeblocks
If it is not available then talk to ubuntu maintainers. Here we don't maintain distros, just codeblocks.
Not to create another thread...
I've used CB for quite some time now on Ubuntu 12.10 (the repository version which is v10) but after I ticked the contrib package in software center, CB stopped working. I tried everything - ticking and unticking all the packages, installing, uninstalling, adding a different source (which doesn't seem to affect software center, it still installs v10 for some reason), when I click the CB icon it just flashes for a few seconds and nothing happens. There is no lingering process in the background, no error, nothing. I am a Linux newbie which prevents me from doing more thorough wiping or whatever, so I'm out of ideas.
Any help appreciated!
Try to start C::B from a terminal (gnome-terminal or konsole or whatever your window manager offers) and look at the output.
Thanks, that was helpful:
(codeblocks:4452): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "oxygen-gtk",
Exception: An exception has been raised!
The application encountered an error at configmanager.cpp, on line 239.
The error message is:
TinyXML error: Error document empty.

At row 0, column: 0.
So I deleted default.conf and it launched. Now, is there a way to force the package manager to update CB to v12? As I mentioned in the previous post, simply adding a software source does nothing
