Installing from Source Code

[archman007]

Compiling from svn trunk source I get this error.

Here is my configuration.

You can now build Code::Blocks by issuing 'make'.
When the build is complete, become root and install
it by issuing 'make install'.

I would like to move on to make install but I cannot.
Thanks a ton folks.

Most probably you're trying to use a statically build wxgtk.
Why are you trying to use a self-build wxgtk? Why don't you use the system package?

[archman007]

Where are the code blocks system packages?  The ones I have tried are busted also.  Need version 17.xx.  The 16.xx version is janky!

[oBFusCATed]

It seems that you've built yourself wxgtk instead of installing wxgtk-dev and using those. On debian there is an easy way to create packages. Search the internet how to do it. Or inspect our travis file for the commands needed to build a package: https://github.com/obfuscated/codeblocks_sf/blob/master/.travis.yml

WxWidgets version 3.1 is loaded and operational.  wxWidgets is not the problem here.

wxWidgets is not the problem here.

I hope you'll find the time later to update this topic when you find out that it is in fact the problem.

What does wx list return?

wx-config --list


[archman007]

Here is the output to

archman@archman-B360M-DS3H:~/codeblocks/codeblocks-code$ wx-config --list

    Default config is gtk3-unicode-static-3.1

  Default config will be used for output

Now what do you say is the problem?

[oBFusCATed]

gtk3-unicode-static-3.1

Buidling CodeBlocks itself under Linux is easy. The tricky part is to get wxWidgets Prerequisite right. I found the best resource to be this https://github.com/bluehazzard/codeblocks_sf/wiki/build_linux_mint_18

Its very detailed. If you go though that and compare with what you already have done, you might see what is still missing.
From that description I have successfully build V17.01 based on wxGTK 2.8.12 on a Debian based system (was not Mint).

This statement is wrong. Checking out wx-master and building with almost default settings gives you perfectly fine wxgtk which could be used for C::B. You have to just use non-default prefix and also pass --with-wx-config which points to this non default prefix.

Can't confirm that for CentOS 7. To get a fairly standard build with

./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib64 --with-gtk=3 --with-cxx=11 --enable-ipv6 --disable-compat30 --disable-unsafe_conv_in_wxstring


i had an extensive try-and-error to figure out the following missing packages:

gtk3-devel
webkitgtk3-devel
libX11-devel
libXinerama-devel
libXxf86vm-devel
libXtst-devel
libSM-devel
mesa-libGL-devel
mesa-libGLU-devel
libsecret-devel
libnotify-devel
cairo-devel
gstreamer1-devel
gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel


Without these i either got hard errors or soft warnings about missing components.

For centos there is wxgtk-devel. For ubuntu libwxgtk-dev. Today I've compiled wx-master on a clean ubuntu just by installing libgtk-3-dev...

Well, I think its not wrong. I have been referring to wxGtk2.8.12. As its a good idea to install that to a non default folder According to BlueHazzrads notes (which worked for me) , you need to patch the configure file , manually, change PATH, edit /etc/ld.so.conf, optionally temporarily purge an old libwxgtk3.0, and do the normal install stuff. At least that counts as tricky for me. 

If you have a 3 liner (or whatever liner) working in a clean Ubuntu, as you say would you mind to post it?

Doing the steps from this file will give you installable .deb files...It lists all the deps and at the bottom you have the two commands that you have to execute to get them.
