1. Install the compiler.
sudo apt-get install build-essential 2. Install the debugger.
sudo apt-get install gdb You'll need to install wxWidgets to use Codeblocks. Revisions from 4051 and after use wxWidgets 2.8.4. If you want to install them, make sure you have your universe and multiverse
repositories enabled and install the following packages.
3. Install wxWidgets library. (This package is all that is needed to run any application that uses wxWidgets. ie. Code::Blocks)
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0 4. Install the wxWidgets developement packages. (This is used to develop wxWidgets applications of your own.)
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev 5.
(OPTIONAL) Install the wxWidgets documentation.
sudo apt-get install wx2.8-doc Now go get the nightly build and install it. All dependencies should now be met.
1. Get the latest nigtly build of Code::Blocks from the
nightly builds forum.
2. Install Code::Blocks.
sudo dpkg -i <Name_Of_Daily_Build.deb>
NOTE: Since revision 4281 and after, the nightly builds are made differently. Codeblocks is now packaged into separate Debian packages and the packages are archived together in a tar.gz file.
1. Download the tar.gz file to your computer and extract the files to an empty directory, such as one called temp for example.
tar xvf CB_
date-of-build_revision-number_Ubuntu6.10+7.04_wx2.8.4.tar.gz 2. Install all the packages at the same time.
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
