Problem building on Linux

[lesnewell]

I just tried building from source in Ubuntu 18.04.

Code Select Expand


svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/codeblocks/code/trunk
cd trunk
./bootstrap
./update-revision.sh
./configure --with-contrib=all
make
sudo make install

No errors were reported in make but when I try to run it I get:
codeblocks: symbol lookup error: codeblocks: undefined symbol: _ZTI32IncrementalSelectIteratorIndexed

Does anyone have any idea what went wrong?

Here my script for mageia:

I build wxWidgets and C::B

Does anyone have any idea what went wrong?

Yes, most probably you're mixing libcodeblocks.so from different versions.

Yes, most probably you're mixing libcodeblocks.so from different versions.

Thanks. As far as I know there isn't any other copy of codeblocks installed on the system. I did have the Ubuntu packaged version of CodeBlocks installed but I uninstalled it before building this copy.

[lesnewell]

OK, apt remove codeblocks leaves libcodeblocks behind. I needed to apt remove libcodeblocks.

Next issue. When I run codeblocks I get

Code Select Expand

codeblocks: error while loading shared libraries: libcodeblocks.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libcodeblocks.so exists in /usr/local/lib

Oddly if I install to a non-standard prefix e.g /home/myhome/whatever and run it from there, it finds libcodeblocks from /home/myhome/whatever/lib/ and runs correctly.

Read the manual of your distro how you're supposed to tell the linker to update libraries. It should be something related to ldconfig.
Generelly I think it is really bad idea to use the default path. I suppose we have to change it to be somewhere else.
Also if you're on ubuntu you can easily build packages and use those.

[lesnewell]

Dangit. I should have known that. Thanks.
