If you have tried to build Codeblocks on Puppy Linux and FatDog64, and not had much luck, then follow these steps to get it all working. I have tested these building steps on FatDog64 621 and on Precise Puppy Linux 561.
The bonus with this method of building the Codeblocks is that it will build a self contained folder that hosts it's own wxWidgets. Thus it can be executed from the same folder on many computers over the network, or just from multiple variations of Puppy Linux on one Pc. Either way, all the files go into one folder and then a simple Install script makes a link in /opt to the Codeblocks folder so you can just unzip and run.
If you just want the Ide pre-built, I also have those available from here, otherwise continue reading.
1) You need the devx sfs file for your Puppy Linux installed. This will put the make and C++ tools on your Puppy Linux. For me I have Precise Puppy 561 and FatDog64 621.
2) Download this file of scripts used to build the Codeblocks and the wxWidgets wxGTK at the same time. Read the instructions from step 3 before downloading the source. You need specific versions etc...
3) Unzip the scripts in some folder. In this folder is a readme.txt file and also a file called about.txt. Please read these for specific instructions.
4) Download the source code for wxGTK 2.8.12 and also Codeblocks 12.11, put them in folders as outlined in the instruction text files from step 3.
5)Be very, very sure you have got all the variables setup properly(about three or four values need to be set), and I mean be sure because unless you are running a fast Pc it will take an hour to build!
6) Execute your build script from a terminal. If you have followed the instructions good it should just work.
If you really cannot make it work, then leave a comment or maybe just download the pre-built folders I have made from here.
Otherwise here are some more details
The Build Script - You can either edit the scripts provided in scripts download ot make your own copy. As you can see the build is mostly controlled just by specifying names and some paths.
#!/bin/sh
# BUILD 32 BIT CODEBLOCKS WITH WX ONE TIME ON PUPPY LINUX
# Please edit these variables to suit your setup. Personally I just put everything in
# the root of my f:\ or /dev/sda7/ on linux, and then go from there. You might
# need to do it differently.
# wxBuildName - Name of the wxBuild - Not a path - Just a unique name for the build
wxBuildName="bld_wx2812_gtk_cb_puppy_561"
# wxPath - absolute path to the folder where wx source code is.
wxPath="/mnt/sda7/wx2812"
# wxOutputDir - Where to put wx build output
wxOutputDir="/mnt/sda7/cb_temp_work/$wxBuildName"
# cbBuildName - The name of the codeblocks build. Not a path, just a name for the codeblocks build.
cbBuildName="cb12_11_puppy_561"
# cbPath - absolute path to the codeblocks source code.
cbPath="/mnt/sda7/cb12_11"
# cbOutputDir - Where to put codeblocks build output, note this folder will be
# linked to from opt, which is where the build thinks it is putting
# the files, but actually they go here...
cbOutputDir="/mnt/sda7/cb_temp_work/$cbBuildName"
# Is it 64 bit, for FatDog64 will be 1, otherwise 0 for 32 bit
PuppyIs64Bit="0"
# Now execute the build using the include script
source `pwd`/xinc_util
The work script(xinc_util) - The worker script just takes the values from your build script and then actually does the build. The process is simply to build the wxWidgets, then set a bunch of variables so that Codeblocks build can see wxWidgets, then build Codeblocks and finally copy the wxWidgets into the output directory.
This script is called xinc_util. You do not execute it yourself but rather you make your own build script which sets the values and then calls this script.
Do not copy and paste this, just download it instead.
