Code::Blocks 25.03 build?

English Applications
1

After 5 years finally a new version of IDE Code::Blocks has been released (https://www.codeblocks.org).
There is no official package for codeblocks but some community packages for old codeblocks v.20.03 (openSUSE Software)
Moreover there is a description about “building on Linux” - but outdated from 2017:
Installing Code::Blocks from source on Linux - Code::Blocks
(Still there is a flatpak for 25.03, but as far as I know there are better ideas than
using an IDE flatpacked.)

I’m still about to change to openSUSE from Windows where I used and was satisfied with codeblocks.
However I don’t have the experience to build it myself at OpenSUSE (yet), so I do ask:

Was anybody successful building codeblocks at Leap 15.6?

I build it with the old spec-file from Version 20.03:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Sauerland:/codeblocks/15.6/

I do not know, if it is working…

Thank you for that quick one! :slight_smile:

As already mentioned I’m quite fresh here, so I beg your pardon for
a reinsuring question:

Adding it will be done with YaST:
add your repository, activate it and start install codeblock, right?

If after all codeblock won’t do, will start a remove by YaST
undo/ remove everything that has been downloaded/ installed
to my system again? I.e. is install reversible?

yes

yes, only configs in your /home will not be deleted.

That’s how a package-manager works.

Compiled and started codeblocks 25.03 on leap 15.6 Downloaded source code from codeblocks website. Just run ./configure, make -jx, and make install.

I installed into user directory and run as a user. Code started fine. Have not run anything to test runability yet.

Thanks for letting me know about update.
