[SOLVED] installing codeblocks on centos 5.4

morty346 · 12-01-2009, 09:22 AM

I am trying to install codeblocks on centos5.4
I am following the tutorial from :

PHP Code:



http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_RPM_based_distributions

I on the section that says:

Code:

install Code::Blocks
Download the Source RPM

1. Download the Source RPM from www.codeblocks.org/downloads.shtml

Note: the SRPM is currently unavailable (latest version being the old RC2), use SVN:
Prepare SRPM package from SVN (if needed)

1. You need to get the latest sources from SVN www.codeblocks.org/source_code.shtml

svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/codeblocks/trunk

2. go into trunk, if you haven't already done it.

3. run these three commands in this order

./bootstrap
./configure --enable-contrib
make dist

the last one will create a .tar.gz archive that contains the sources.

4. copy the archive to the directory $RPM_TOPDIR/SOURCES

sudo mv codeblocks-trunk-r*.tar.gz $RPM_TOPDIR/SOURCES

5. build the source RPM, or copy spec to $RPM_TOPDIR/SPECS

rpmbuild -bs codeblocks.spec

This will create a source package in the directory $RPM_TOPDIR/SRPMS/.

and I get get this

Code:

[root@localhost trunk]# ./bootstrap
aclocal:configure.in:77: warning: macro `AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG' not found in library
aclocal:configure.in:78: warning: macro `AM_PATH_WXCONFIG' not found in library
configure.in:77: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.in:78: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_WXCONFIG

it seems that the previous step installations all succeded
and ideas?

Do you have the wxWidgets libraries (and headers) installed? It seems that m4 is looking for some macros that would have been defined by wxWidgets, if they were installed.

I first tried the tutorial:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php..._distributions
and
with no luck

went on to
http://vunh.blogspot.com/2009/05/cod...in-centos.html
but doesn't seem to do the trick

Code:

 ------------------------------------------------------
 
 The installation of wxWidgets is finished.  On certain
 platforms (e.g. Linux) you'll now have to run ldconfig
 if you installed a shared library and also modify the
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent) environment variable.
 
 wxWidgets comes with no guarantees and doesn't claim
 to be suitable for any purpose.
 
 Read the wxWidgets Licence on licencing conditions.

Can you do us a favour? Please remove the PHP tags,
post # 1 , line 3.
The formatting of this page is terrible because of
those tags. And an URL needs no tagging ...
.....
.....

From post # 3 it seems you are trying to use wxGTK-2.6,
though your "codeblocks" link says ' wxGTK-2.8.7 '.

Why not do # yum install wxGTK-devel
.. and get version 2.8.10 with the right options ?
I got wxGTK-devel 2.8.10 from the rpmforge.repo

It isn't monolitic, all 14 libs are separate (default).
Monolitic means one huge chunk, 20 MB library.
--enable-xrc is enabled by default.
2.8.10-1.rf is build with --enable-unicode.

Codeblocks compiles OK with wxGTK-devel 2.8.10
.....

It would be wonderful if wxGTK worked from yum... however since I have been spending all day trying to do it this way... good chance I tried that first

[root@localhost ~]# yum install wxGTK-devel
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* addons: ftp.linux.ncsu.edu
* base: mirror.steadfast.net
* extras: mirror.ubiquityservers.com
* updates: mirror.cs.vt.edu
Setting up Install Process
No package wxGTK-devel available.
Nothing to do

and idc about my formatting but thanks

knudfl · 12-01-2009, 03:33 PM

Codeblocks configure :

You may save some time, this is from ./configure
.. with a wxGTK 2.6.x

Quote:

checking for wxWidgets version >= 2.8.0... no
(version 2.6.x is not new enough)

So minimum version is 2.8.0

I would like to bring this out of archive status:
I decided to install the C::B on centos5.2 rpm built.

I'm using ththeir wiki as a source of info and got as far as to building the RPM from SRPM.
I run rpmbuild --rebuild as a regular user, and after some time with zillions of messages on the screen i'm getting :

Code:

i also did :

/home/oracle/rpm
[oracle@server rpm]$ find ./ -name cbstatusbar.h
./trunk/src/include/cbstatusbar.h

Any help will be much appreciated.

Post #8 @DBabo : Did you read all the above posts ?
The trick is to guess, what will fit together on CentOS 5.x :

# yum install wxGTK-devel intltool
The 'wxGTK-devel' ( version 2.8.11 ) is from the EPEL repo ..
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
" "Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL).." "
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse
(Suggest : disable the rpmforge.repo, if present in /etc/yum.repos.d/.)

wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...4.fc14.src.rpm
> > codeblocks-10.05-4.fc14.src.rpm :
Unpack the SRC.RPM to "/home/oracle/rpm/redhat/SOURCES/"
... and run 'rpmbuild -bb codeblocks_el55.spec' from any location.

(codeblocks_el55.spec is from the unpacked codeblocks-10.05-src.tar.bz2.
Two "typos" were edited in lines 6 and 52.)
(And the original file codeblocks.spec was renamed to "....el55.spec".)

The most easy solution is of course # yum install codeblocks
.. which will provide version : 10.05-1.el5 from EPEL.

yes, indeed i read all the above. it's actually your post about wxGTK-2.8 ( not 2.6 as suggested on C:B wiki) that got be going.

Do i understand correctly that the original ( from svn trunk) spec has 2 typos and they were fixed in the srpm you are referring to?

oh, now that's embarrassing ....

Since i started already with the source-> rpm route, i'll give it a second try tonight. But definitely i'll try the yum route

thank you and let me know, please.

Post # 10.

Inside the codeblocks-10.05-4.fc14.src.rpm you have ..
codeblocks-10.05-src.tar.bz2, codeblocks.spec, etc. etc.
This codeblocks.spec makes some error(s) on CentOS 5.

Inside the unpacked codeblocks-10.05-src.tar.bz2 is another codeblocks.spec file.
That's the one I used. The two edits were :
Line 6 : A reference to 'svn_version', but no definition to refer to.
Meaning : The package(s) would be named like 'codeblocks-1.0.0%svn_version%0el55.rpm
( I also edited 'version' to 10.05 in the Version line.)
Line 52 said : codeblocks-10.05-release.tar.bz2. The actual name is codeblocks-10.05-src.tar.bz2.
..

i see now. I'll update the spec from tar with your recommendations and see if it works tonight.
Thank you!

You can just use the already edited file, attached to post #9 : codeblocks_el55.spec.txt
Click it, and it can be downloaded.

what am i missing today?

I'm missing a new "feature"... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490613

and after 30 minutes of rpmbuild's gibberish i for 3 rpm and installation was painless.
knudfl, thank you very much for your tips - without them i would not be able to get this done.

knudfl · 12-16-2010, 06:54 AM

Yes, 'rpm -Uvh codeblocks-10.05-4.fc14.src.rpm' isn't working on CentOS5.

"Unpack" is 'rpm2cpio codeblocks-10.05-4.fc14.src.rpm | cpio -idmv
... as your link says.

I hoped, you would guess that by writing "Unpack to ////SOURCE/"
instead of "install". ( Post # 9.)
