No, it's not difficult. First download the surce code for wxGTK, extract it somewhere, change to the created directory, then do:

If anyone's interested I have successfully compiled, and use, codeblocks 8.0.2 and wxWidgets 2.8.10 on Puppy 4.1.2.

I produced an .sfs file "wx_cb.sfs" which contains them both.
When loaded with "devx_412.sfs", it all works.

I choose wxWidgets because I want to be able to compile and run my GUI apps on both Linux and Windows, (and even on Macs).

@ clarf and others interested in the Anjuta-IDE

As you have read in this thread some times ago I had created an anjuta-2.4.2-sfs-file for Puppy-Linux 4.0. I was not able to share it with you because some libraries it uses, were newer than those in Puppy-Linux 4.0/4.1. So I did a hack in the init-script of initrd.gz and in the boot manager that allows to load sfs-files after pupXXX.sfs. It overwrites older library versions with the updated versions within these sfs-files. I have not been able to make this hack fool proof and so I ceased from publishing the anjuta-2.4.2-sfs file.

With Puppy Linux 4.3 all libraries relevant for Anjuta 2.4.2 seem to be up to date. After conversion of the anjuta-2.4.2-sfs-file for Puppy-Linux 4.0 to the new sfs-4 format in Puppy-Linux 4.3 it seems to run without problems.

The sfs-file for Puppy Linux 4.3 can be downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.servage.net/anjuta-2.4.2/anjuta-2.4.2-p430.sfs
user: puppy
password: puppylinux

As a goodie the anjuta-2.4.2-sfs-file contains the stand alone ddd Data-Display-Debugger.

Please report your experiences.

Many, many thanks Wosh. Your efforts are really appreciated.

After a initial very short test with anjuta-2.4.2-p430.sfs , I found some little problems.

1. In first run it always shows a window error about Valgring Plugin, attached screen capture: Anjuta_error_1.jpg.

2. After I create a project there are some errors in message window, attached screen capture: Anjuta_error_2.jpg

3. Sometimes When I use some menu options Anjuta close without errors.

Seems a problem with some libraries not found. I hope you can check it Wosh.

Greetings,

@ clarf

It seems that you have not loaded devx430.sfs which contains make, automake, gdb, gcc, strip and other development tools needed by the IDE.

On my rather pristine Puppy 4.30 I succeeded to compile a mini test project and to debug it.. I also succeeded in plugging-in Valgrind.

But there might arise a problem with some older libraries that I used when I compiled Anjuta, that now are outdated in Puppy 4.30. The best thing would be to recompile the whole packages. It takes about 4 hours and a lot of diligence. After loading anjuta-2.4.2-p430.sfs the description how to proceed is found in:

/usr/share/doc/anjuta/BuildPuppy400Anjuta-2.4.2.html

At the moment I am to busy to do it myself, but I will support people that try to recompile it. The first thing that should be done is to check whether some packages used there have made it into Puppy 4.30 because they of course must not be recompiled. The rest is to do the tedious work.

Excuse me Wosh, that's my fault Embarassed

.

As I said it was a very short test Laughing

, didn't notice that devx was not loaded. Well, no errors now, and finally I can start to learn C/C++ and GTK+ in Linux.

Thank you again Wosh.

Lob,

I think fltk is cross-platform...remember John Murga's murgalua, which runs on linux, windows & mac, is fltk-based.

I have just uploaded wc_cb.sfs to http://www.filefront.com/14631189/wx_cb.sfs
This contains codeblocks 8.0.2 and wxWidgets 2.8.10.
It was compiled on Puppy 4.1.2.
I suspect it's aimed at an i686, since I didn't specify this.

It's 35.7MB in size.

The sfs file was created on Puppy 4.1.2, so it's not sfs4.

I haven't tested it running codeblocks on Puppy 4.3.0 yet, haven't converted the sfs file to sfs4 yet.

I have used it to write a few programs. I've compiled the same source code on both Puppy 4.1.2 and Windows XP, and both work. ("otherOS" is an example, and it runs also on Puppy 4.3)

gyro

Edit: Converted it to an sfs4 file in 4.3 and successfully compiled and ran the initial wxSmith application using devx_430.sfs + wx_cb-sfs4.sfs.

NOTE: This all done on frugal installs.

Hi Wosh!
I think that is fabulous your post of a C++ IDE. But,
I have FTP blocked by my administrator.
Can anyone make available the Anjuta IDE .SFS via HTTP?
I think that HTTP is by far more usable for all people than FTP.
Thanks!!!
