install codeblocks on fedora
 

Hi,

I have codeblocks installed via yum on fedora 20, but it is not updated. I downloaded the latest source code from its website, but I don't know how to install it.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

And that means the version you have installed is the latest one that's supported for Fedora 20.
Did you try reading the instructions on the website?

Maybe running the "install-sh" script (or reading it), that came with the source code?

I guess you can build a Fedora 20 codeblocks-13.12 rpm
from the Fedora 21 source package "codeblocks-13.12* " ..

Run $ rpmbuild -bb codeblocks
EDIT : codeblocks.spec
.. and get codeblocks-13.12-8.fc20.<arch>.rpm

Setup rpm-build http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...1-a-766486/#13

I have downloaded the rpm package with the link you provided but the command $ rpmbuild -bb codeblocks does not work. It says:
Though I had the rpm in my path. I would be grateful if you kindly help me solve it.

Did you set up the rpm build environment in /home/sryzdn/ ?

... When you have done that, unpack the src rpm with :
$ rpm -Uvh codeblocks-13.12-8.fc21.src.rpm
The files will unpack to /home/sryzdn/rpms/{ SPECS, SOURCE }
.. And the build is :
$ cd rpms/SPECS/
$ rpmbuild -bb codeblocks.spec
