This is a quick guide to get Code::Blocks up and running on your Ubuntu based Linux distribution. It is also going to make sure you can develop wxWidgets applications on your box as well. Look at the bottom of this guide for a complete command line that will install all the packages in one operation.
First be sure you have the necessary software to compile and debug programs.
Apr 01, 2018 Download Latest Version (90.34 MB) Advertisement. Code::Blocks for Mac is a free C, C and Fortran IDE that has a custom build system and optional Make support. The application has been designed to be very extensible and fully configurable. It helps to block any annoying ads from interrupting your web browsing experience.
1. Install the compiler.
2. Install the debugger.
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)
4. Install the wxWidgets developement packages. (This is used to develop wxWidgets applications of your own.)
5. (OPTIONAL) Install the wxWidgets documentation.
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.
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.
2. Install all the packages at the same time.
The packages can be installed individually, if you prefer not to install everything. The first package to install is libcodeblocks0 followed by the codeblocks package. All the other packages are optional. If you want to install the wxsmith and/or contrib packages, you must install the libwxsmithlib0 package first.

Code::Blocks for C++ does not include gcc on Linux, so installation is a two-step process. First you will need to install gcc. Then you can install Code::Blocks.
Installing gcc
The gcc compiler is readily available for Linux. Follow these steps to install it:
Enter the following commands from a command prompt:
The standard Ubuntu Linux distribution includes a GNU C compiler, but it does not include the C++ extensions and, in particular, not the C++ 2011 standard extensions. The first two commands update and upgrade the tools you already have. The third command installs C++.
Enter the following command from a command prompt:
You’ll be fine with version 4.7.1 or later. If you have an earlier version, some of the C++ 2011 features may not work properly, but otherwise, it should be okay.
Download Code Blocks
If you are using Debian Linux, the commands are the same. If you’re using Red Hat Linux, replace the command apt-get with yum so that you end up with
Installing Code::Blocks
Fortunately for all concerned, an Ubuntu-ready version of Code::Blocks is available in the Ubuntu Software Center. Many other versions of Linux include something similar to the Software Center. Follow these steps to install Code::Blocks:
Click on the Software Center icon on the Ubuntu desktop.
Select Code::Blocks from the list of available software.
This will start the installation process.
Code::Blocks searches your hard drive for your C++ compiler. It should be able to find it without a problem, but if it doesn’t, then execute the following steps.
Start Code::Blocks.
Select Settings→Compiler.
Select the Compiler Flags tab.
Make sure that the following three flags are selected, as shown in this figure:
Enable All Compiler Warnings
Have g++ Follow the Coming C++0x ISO C++ Language Standard
Have g++ Follow the C++11 ISO C++ Language Standard
Select the Toolchain Executables tab.
Select the “…” button.
Navigate to /usr, unless you installed your gcc compiler someplace other than the default location of /user/bin.
The “C compiler” should be gcc, the “C++ compiler” should be g++ and the “Linker for dynamic libs” should be g++.
Select OK to close the dialog box.
