How to install Code::Blocks
July 24th, 2008 by Daniel Høyer Iversen
Code::Blocks is a great IDE for C++. Here is a guide to install Code::Blocks in Linux.
Open a Terminal (Applications -> Accessories), and wright:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
add these lines to the end of the file:
deb http://lgp203.free.fr/ubuntu/ gutsy universe
deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ gutsy-wx main
In the Terminal:
wget -q http://lgp203.free.fr/public.key -O- | sudo apt-key add -
wget -q http://apt.wxwidgets.org/key.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
Installing the packages:
sudo apt-get install libcodeblocks0 codeblocks libwxsmithlib0 codeblocks-contrib
You will now receive updates automatically.
You will find Code::Blocks at Applications -> Programming.
man, after like 7 hours of trying to install Code::Blocks, I found your guide which makes it SO easy
I just substituted “hardy” for “gutsy”
Thanks for the guide!

In Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex you can just type
sudo apt-get install codeblocks
I don’t know why but it’s work. Thank you :d
I’ve seen this method to install CodeBlocks and wxWidgets 2.8.10 for Ubuntu 7.10 all over the Internet which is exactly what I want to do but it doesn’t work. I do the following and receive an error.
apt-get install libcodeblocks0 codeblocks libwxsmithlib0 codeblocks-contrib
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libcodeblocks0: Depends: libwxgtk2.8-0 (>= 2.8.9.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
