Building CodeBlocks

[Auria]

Hi everyone, i just switched to linux and am trying to install Code::Blocks

Since i'm on PPC (i'm on Ububtu 6.06 PPC) i can't use the nightly builds so i'm attempting to build from source

i'm following the instructions found at http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Linux


however, when i try to bootstrap, i get the following errors:

Code Select Expand


configure.in: 10: `automake requires `AM_CONFIG_HEADER', not `AC_CONFIG_HEADER'
configure.in: 10: required file `./[src/sdk/config.h].in' not found

Are you trying to build completely from source? It looks like Ubuntu Dapper has the packages needed to build available in the repositories for PPC. Try using my how-to for building from svn located at http://wjkirby.googlepages.com/buildingcode%3A%3Ablocksfromsvnonubuntu6.06

Well i was trying to build Code::Blocks from source, the rest was just obtained with apt-get.

I did pretty much exactly the things mentionned in your how-to, except maybe that i didn't install libtool, fakeroot, debhelper and zip. Dunno how big difference that would make? Probably none i guess

Well i can try again, but i don't think the problem is there.

fakeroot and debhelper would be for building the deb. I'm thinking that you will need the other two, but I'm not 100% for sure on that.

On windows you have to have zip to build from source ( using Code::Blocks to build itself).

I followed one by one all the instructions on your how-to, but i still get the same error
